I can confirm this is an in line booster designed for a dish feed. It takes its power from the box. Before installing it we had reasonable signal quality but occasionally the signal strength dropped sufficiently for the picture and or sound to break up. Since installing it the signal...

So if I assume phone is nominally 75 volts and go for 750 ohm looks like that might do the trick.

Yeah that was the sliding switch we had. If possible I'd like to recreate that using a BT plug to bare ends and some soldering and then enclose it in a small case - but I don't know the resistance required etc. I agree just shorting 2 and 5 might not be the best plan! We have a revelation...

Needed to extend the Sky cable so in the loft jointed it via two screw BNC terminals and then ran it back to the lounge and terminated it via the aforementioned face plate. RF Cable already reached so just terminated that on the new plate. RF signal became "snowy" as soon as the Sky cable...

Aluminium :(

Not 100 percent sure I understand the question. The two leads are separate inside the face plate - in that the braid and central conductor have their own terminals. Are you asking if despite having separate terminals the braid is connected via a circuit board? I'll need to upset the...

Drum is marked MICROMARK MM5036 - can't see on a google search whether that fits any of the above.

Recently re-wired part of the house and brought the incoming satellite feed and the downlead RF feed to a single gang faceplate with a BNC screw terminal for the satellite and the usual coax for the RF. As soon as I connect the feed from the dish the picture on the RF gets very snowy. I've...

That's an idea - which I hadn't thought of. As a result I didn't put this in the original post so as not to over complicate it - but we have six lines which have sockets on the incomer before going into a PBX. We sometimes busy out up to three - so it would be nice if we could find a "mini"...

We have just moved offices. At our old office we had BT installed switches which allowed us to busy out some of our incoming lines on days when there limited staff in the office so callers who could not be answered got the engaged tone rather than hearing the phone ringing off the hook...
