SWM module that support more than 13 devices via single coax run

I have a small motel and have a single coax to the back of building where I have a distribution closet of coax connections to 14 rooms. Current SWM has two port and each port support 13 devices.  Since I only have one dox feeder to that area I am limited to 13 devices on that run.  Is there a solution out there?   Is there a SWM that support more than 13 devices on a single coax run?

Yes, you need to contact an MDU (Multi Dwelling Unit) installer.  There is no SWM LNB that allows more then 13 tuners.

Would an MDU installer work with a SWM-16 or SWM-32 or would the LNB still be an issue? Same for SWM-30 or SWM Expander. (bit rusty on this size of an install)

A SWM16 only has 8 tuners per port with a standard LNB. Not sure if the SWM 32 is sold online but with special splitters you can use 2 SWM16.
