TV and Satellite Sockets

A TV and satellite socket is a low-current socket that terminates the coaxial antenna cable inside the building at the wall and provides a connection point for a television or satellite receiver. A TV socket is used for terrestrial and cable broadcasts, a satellite socket for the signal coming from a dish antenna, and a socket with a SAT-TV output in central antenna systems where both signals are distributed over the same cable. This category contains terminating, pass-through and resistorless TV sockets and satellite sockets with an F connector and SAT-TV output in the Viko Karre, Meridian and Karre 55 series, and IP54 surface-mounted TV sockets in the Palmiye series. Choose the TV, satellite or SAT-TV output by broadcast type, the terminating, pass-through or resistorless type by the structure of the line, and for pass-through sockets the attenuation value, such as 8-12 dB or 10 dB, by the antenna project. A pass-through socket is used in serial distribution where the cable continues to the next socket, a terminating socket at the end point of this line, and a resistorless socket in installations where a separate cable is run from the distributor to each socket. A pass-through socket does not contain a terminating resistor; it cannot replace a terminating socket unless the line is terminated separately at its end.

How to choose TV and Satellite Sockets

A TV and satellite socket is a low-current socket that terminates the coaxial antenna cable inside the building at the wall and provides a connection point for a television or satellite receiver. A TV socket is used for terrestrial and cable broadcasts, a satellite socket for the signal coming from a dish antenna, and a socket with a SAT-TV output in central antenna systems where both signals are distributed over the same cable.

  • Clarify whether the task is connection, cable routing, enclosure distribution or termination.
  • Match dimensions, thread standard, conductor cross-section and IP rating with the cable and panel.
  • Choose housing material and pack quantity according to the mounting environment.
