Tips

• Professional Cabling Installation: While the insert itself is straightforward, ensuring the coaxial cabling (RG6 or RG59) leading to the CBi DSTV Connection Insert White (TVI664-P) is properly installed, terminated, and routed from the satellite dish by a qualified professional is paramount. Correct cabling is crucial for optimal signal quality and to avoid interference.
• Use High-Quality F-Connectors: Always use high-quality F-connectors on your coaxial cables to connect to the insert. A good quality connector ensures a secure fit and minimizes signal loss, which is critical for satellite signals.
• Avoid Over-Tightening: When connecting the coaxial cable to the F-type port on the insert, tighten the connector finger-tight only. Over-tightening can damage the port or the cable, leading to signal degradation or intermittent connections.
• Maintain Cleanliness: To preserve the pristine white finish and ensure optimal performance, regularly wipe the insert surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the plastic or the delicate internal components.
• Consider Signal Strength: For installations with long cable runs or multiple splitters, signal amplifiers (boosters) might be necessary to ensure adequate signal strength at the TVI664-P insert. Consult an audiovisual technician for complex satellite distribution systems.
• Aesthetic Consistency: For a truly cohesive and professional look throughout your property, consider pairing the TVI664-P with other CBI-electric Plastic Range accessories (e.g., light switches, power sockets, other data/telephone outlets) that share the same design language and white finish.
• Modular Flexibility: Remember that this is a modular insert. If your connectivity needs change in the future (e.g., you switch from satellite to fiber optic TV), you can easily swap out the TVI664-P for another compatible insert from the CBI range without needing to replace the entire wall plate.
