Product Information

Full details

This Excel F-Type adaptor plate is designed for audio-visual installers managing satellite signal distribution within residential or commercial buildings. Its primary benefit is the secure, threaded screw-on design for reliable connector mating, ensuring a stable satellite signal feed. A potential caveat is its specific use within the Excel Office range of faceplates, limiting broader compatibility without the correct housing. Key features include a snap-in design for easy installation, a threaded F-type connector for robust connection, and compatibility with the Office range faceplates.

FAQs

What type of cable is this adaptor for?

This adaptor is specifically for satellite coaxial cables that use standard F-type connectors.

Does this adaptor work with any wall plate?

No, this adaptor is designed to snap into the Euro size apertures of the Excel Office range of faceplates.

Is this adaptor suitable for terrestrial TV aerials?

While it uses an F-type connector, it is primarily designed and recommended for satellite signal distribution. For terrestrial TV, a different type of connector (like Belling-Lee) or a dedicated modulator/demodulator might be more appropriate depending on the system.

How do I connect the satellite cable to the back of the adaptor?

The adaptor is designed to be snapped into a faceplate, and the satellite cable is typically connected to the rear of the F-type connector protruding from the back of the faceplate, often requiring a specific push-on or screw-on termination depending on the cable preparation.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The product comes with a 25 Year system warranty.

Can I use this adaptor for internet/modem connections?

This adaptor is designed for satellite TV signals. While some modems might use F-type connectors, the impedance and signal characteristics are different, and it's not recommended for broadband internet connections without specific compatibility confirmation from your ISP or modem manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

No Satellite Signal / Poor Signal Quality

Check that the F-type connector on the satellite cable is securely and correctly threaded onto the adaptor. Ensure the cable itself is properly terminated and undamaged. Verify that the adaptor is correctly seated in the faceplate and that the faceplate is properly installed.

Adaptor does not snap into faceplate

Confirm that you are using an official Excel Office range Euro size faceplate. Ensure the aperture on the faceplate is clear of debris. The adaptor should push in firmly until it locks; do not force it if resistance is high, as this may indicate incompatibility.

Connector feels loose

Gently tighten the F-type connector on the cable to the adaptor. If the adaptor's internal thread feels damaged, it may need to be replaced. Ensure the cable connector is the correct F-type standard.
