The length of the cables needed is dependent upon your particular configuration. RG-6 cable is typically sold in lengths of 10, 25, or 50 ft., with “F” type connectors on each end. These cables may be purchased at your local hardware store, home center, or electronics retailer. The cables which must be purchased are depicted in the following illustration as solid black and are numbered, while existing cables are shown as gray.

The combined signal is carried from the roof all the way into the room inside the home where the SIRIUS radio and satellite TV receiver/tuner are located, where the signals are then split and connected to each device. The benefit of the SIRIUS Combiner/Splitter in this scenario is avoiding having to run an additional cable for the SIRIUS radio from the roof all the way into a room in the interior of the home. When installing the Combiner and Splitter after the multiswitch, you will have to determine which satellite TV cable from the multiswitch feeds the room where you want to locate your SIRIUS radio. The following illustration shows the installation of the Combiner/Splitter after the multiswitch on the roof.

You can see that one output of the multiswitch is connected to the input of the Combiner, and that there are no devices such a splitter or DishPro adapter in the common cable run between the Combiner and Splitter. If a DishPro adapter is needed, it must be installed after the Splitter as shown.
