How do I wire this?

[coopersim]

I've got one of these:

I've got two satellite cables and one tv cable I'd like to wire in but can only see space for two cables!

 

[Sureitsoff?]

the plate that you refer to requires the sat1/tv/and radio signals to be combined in the loft then sent down 1 cable where the plate will split them. the sat 2 cable is connected direct to the plate.

you would be better off with a blank plate drilled and fitted with three sockets for each cable

Thanks, is that easy to do? I only have space for two plates, hence using this option

do you mean two euro modules ie 50mm wide if so two of these

fitted with these

and fit the cables with these to go on either side of the socket

you do need a very deep box in the wall or preferably a backless box in a stud wall

Is this a tidy up exercise?

The plate you show works on the format of all main feeds for aerial and sat going in to a amp, from the amp you have a feeder cable to each of any number of locations and there you use the plate type you've shown.

If you only have one back box for the three cables you have then it needs to be quite deep (35mm+), buy a single blank flat plate and drill three holes in it.

You buy mountable f type to f type and tv aerial barrels and set them in to the blanking plate. A dab of decent glue (a glue gun is ok, sticks like poo works).

You then make off the three cables and fit them on the inside and close the plate.

Personally I'd suggest

Frames in white, black, metal..

I forgot about the euro brush plates, easy solution for tidy up

Brush plates look hideous though.

Brush plates look hideous though.

So make sure they are behind the TV

Just get your plasterer to plaster up to the cables.

DIP2 combine will combine TV and 1 satellite feed onto a cable

If you want to use skyline magic eyes, feed the output from a Sky box around the house, etc, then look at the Loft Boxes further down that page.
