Tips

To ensure a safe and correct installation of your S-TEC Satellite Socket 4x2, please consider the following expert advice.

• Professional Installation Recommended: While a low-voltage connection, achieving a high-quality, low-loss termination on a coaxial cable requires the correct tools (cable stripper, crimper) and technique. For the best signal quality, installation by a professional AV or satellite installer is recommended.
• Use High-Quality Coaxial Cable: For the best performance, especially over long runs, use high-quality RG6 coaxial cable between your satellite dish/LNB and this wall socket.
• Secure Connections: Ensure the F-type connector from your decoder's fly-lead is screwed on securely to the socket to prevent signal loss or intermittent connection issues.
• Not for Terrestrial TV: This socket uses an F-type screw-on connector for satellite. It is not compatible with the Belling-Lee (push-in) connector used for standard terrestrial TV antennas (e.g., SABC, eTV). For that, you need the S-TEC TV Socket (STI-1170).
• Cleaning: To clean the socket plate, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents.
