Tips

To ensure a safe and correct installation of your S-TEC TV+Satellite Socket, please review the following expert advice.

• Professional Installation Recommended: While these are low-voltage connections, achieving a high-quality, low-loss termination on coaxial cables requires the correct tools (cable strippers, crimpers) and technique. For the best signal quality, installation by a professional AV or satellite installer is highly recommended.
• CRITICAL: KNOW YOUR CONNECTORS: This plate has two different sockets for two different services. The round, smooth, push-in socket is for a terrestrial TV antenna (e.g., SABC, eTV). The threaded, screw-on socket is the F-Type connector for a satellite dish (e.g., DStv). They are not interchangeable.
• Use High-Quality Coaxial Cable: For the best performance, especially over long runs from the antenna and satellite dish, use high-quality RG6 coaxial cable.
• Secure Connections: Ensure the F-type connector from your satellite decoder's fly-lead is screwed on securely to the socket to prevent signal loss. The TV aerial plug should be a firm push-fit.
• Not for Power: These sockets are designed for low-voltage radio frequency (RF) signals only. They cannot be used to supply electrical power to any device.
