STARGOLD SG-D41 (Dish Switch)

Here’s everything you need to know about the Stargold SG‑D41 DiSEqC switch:

---

🛠️ Key Specifications

• Model: SG‑D41 (also labeled SG‑D41 3D)

• Configuration: 4 inputs → 1 output (a 4×1 DiSEqC switch) 

• Frequency range: 950 MHz – 2400 MHz (covers standard satellite bands) 

• Insertion loss: 30 dB — keeps signal quality stable when switching 

• Power passing: Up to 500 mA — lets your receiver power any LNBs connected 

---

📶 How It Works

This switch enables you to connect up to four satellite LNBs or other satellite sources (like twin LNBs or multiple dishes) and select between them using DiSEqC commands from your receiver. Perfect for setups where you need to switch between different satellites without manually changing cables.

✅ Pros & Considerations

👍 Pros:

• Supports multiple satellite feeds into a single receiver

• Standard DiSEqC compatibility ensures smooth switching

• Good insertion loss ensures little to no signal degradation

• Pass-through power to LNBs, keeping cabling simple

⚠️ Considerations:

• Max 500 mA power — fine for most setups, but verify if your LNB or support devices draw more

• No built-in amplifier — for long cable runs (>50 m), you might still need an inline amplifier

💡 Ideal Use Cases

• Multi-satellite home setups (e.g., receiving from Hotbird + Arabsat + Turksat, etc.).

• Systems using multiple LNBs (quad, twin) feeding into fewer receiver tuners.

• Small to medium installations — not for large multi-room distributions.
