Tips

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

• Professional Installation Recommended: While these are low-voltage connections, achieving a high-quality, low-loss termination on both coaxial and RJ45 network cables requires the correct tools (cable strippers, crimpers, punch-down tools) and technique. For the best signal and data speed, installation by a professional AV or network technician is highly recommended.
• CRITICAL: KNOW YOUR CONNECTORS: This plate has two different sockets. The round, push-in socket is for a terrestrial TV antenna ONLY (not satellite). The rectangular socket is an RJ45 for computer networking/Ethernet ONLY (not an RJ11 telephone line). The plugs are physically different and are not interchangeable.
• Use High-Quality Cabling: For the best performance, use high-quality RG6 coaxial cable for the TV connection and at least Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cable for the computer network connection.
• Not for Power: These sockets are designed for low-voltage data and radio frequency (RF) signals only. They cannot be used to supply electrical power to any device.
• Cleaning: To clean the socket plate, use a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or chemical solvents.
