connections of tv coaxial cables for fittings & wall plates

[ronlud]

Just wondering if someone can assist with diagrams for the assy of fittings to coax and what happens at the wall plate in particular.

I have a poor connection (a joint possibly) or I have the wall plate incorrectly wired.

'elp.

Hi,

At the moment you might be referring to the older type of coax TV fitting, the PAL or Belling-Lee connector

How to fit TV plugs to coaxial cable (http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/tvplug.htm)

Those are not good enough for digital TV (neither is most older coax cable)

or the other type, the F-connector. It comes in a screw on variety

How to fit F Connectors to coaxial cable (http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/fconn.htm)

which is rubbished by most technicians, and a crimp-on variety, for which you need a tool

Guide: How to fit an "F" connector - AVForums.com (http://www.avforums.com/forums/interconnects-speaker-cables-switches/470017-guide-how-fit-f-connector.html)

I found it simpler to buy good quality digital coax with the F-connectors pre-fitted. It is sold in various lengths by Dick Smith, and comes with a bag of adapters so you can connect anything to anything. Jaycar probably has it too.

You can buy wall plates with F-connectors both sides, or with an F-connector on the back side and a PAL socket on the front.

Cheers
