Product Information

Full details

This Deta TV Aerial Coaxial Socket is designed for homeowners and installers seeking a clean, modern solution for TV signal distribution. Its key benefit is providing a single, isolated point for aerial connection, ensuring signal integrity and a tidy finish. A potential caveat is its specific function for TV aerials only, not for general data or satellite use. Key features include an isolated design, a satin chrome finish with a white insert, and standard dimensions for easy integration into existing wall plates.

FAQs

What type of signal is this socket designed for?

This socket is specifically designed for terrestrial TV aerial (RF) signals, commonly used for Freeview or analog broadcast reception.

Can I use this for my satellite dish connection?

No, this socket is not suitable for satellite dish connections, which typically use F-type connectors and different signal frequencies. You would need a dedicated satellite socket.

What are the dimensions of the faceplate?

The faceplate dimensions are 87mm tall by 87mm wide, with a depth of 7mm. The rear projection is 18mm.

Is installation difficult?

Installation is straightforward for individuals familiar with basic electrical wiring. If you are unsure, it is recommended to consult a qualified electrician.

What does 'isolated' mean in this context?

'Isolated' means the socket is designed to prevent signal leakage or interference between the connected aerial system and other electrical circuits, helping to maintain signal purity.

Does this socket come with a back box?

This product typically refers to the faceplate and socket mechanism. A standard UK single-gang back box is required for installation, which may need to be purchased separately if not already present.

Troubleshooting

No TV signal after installation

Verify the coaxial cable is securely connected to the socket's terminal. Ensure the aerial itself is properly aligned and functional. Check that the TV is tuned to the correct input. Confirm the socket is correctly wired for TV aerial signals.

Flickering or poor picture quality

Check the coaxial cable for any damage or kinks. Ensure the central conductor is making good contact. Test with a different coaxial cable to rule out cable issues. If signal strength is low, consider an aerial amplifier.

Socket faceplate is loose

Gently tighten the screws securing the faceplate to the wall box. Ensure the wall box itself is securely fixed to the wall.
