TV & Satellite Sockets & Connectors

An isolated outlet blocks interference from neighbouring units on a shared aerial or dish, while a non-isolated outlet is a standard direct connection. The FP0140BC and SF0140MB are isolated TV and SAT outlets for communal dish and aerial installations. Non-isolated outlets such as the SF0100MW are for standard TV and coax connections.

They give separate sockets for the TV, radio and satellite services carried to one outlet. A diplexed module such as the NETDITVBK gives TV and FM/DAB, the triplexed NETTRIBK adds SAT, and the quadplexed NETQDBK gives SAT1, SAT2, TV and FM DAB for Sky and Sky+ applications. The three modules measure 50 x 50mm.

Single outlets such as the CL010PC, FP0100PB and SF0100PC need a minimum mounting box depth of 25mm. Screened parts need more room: the FP0160PC diplex outlet and screened modules such as the NETTVSBK need 35mm. For the FPF4GMW floor plate, the box depth depends on the euro modules fitted.

A quadplexed module, which gives SAT1 and SAT2 alongside TV and FM DAB. The NETQDWH, NETQDGY and NETQDBK are made for Sky and Sky+ applications, measure 50 x 50mm and are fully screened to EN 50083-2. They need a minimum mounting depth of 35mm and take cables with a 1mm conductor.

Yes, modules such as the NETTVWH and NETSATGY are made for euro-module faceplates. The NETTVWH is a TV outlet module with a coaxial socket and a screw terminal on the PCB, and the NETSATGY is a 25 x 50mm F-type SAT module. The FPF4GMW floor plate takes four 25 x 50mm or two 50 x 50mm euro modules under a spring-loaded lid.

They take coax cable with a 1mm conductor. The NETTVSWH, for example, is fully screened to EN 50083-2 for low loss and minimal ingress, and needs a 35mm deep mounting box. Coax, satellite leads and F-type plugs are on the pages linked from this guide.
