Are you planning to have a tv aerial installation? If yes then for sure you want to know about the things you required in the tv aerial installation. Well there are lots of things you need in the tv aerial set up, but the major thing is the plates. The plates actually give support to the tv aerial in taking a stand. If you want to know everything about the tv aerial installation then click here. In this article we will talk about the different types of the plates you can use in the tv aerial installation.
In the market you can find the different types of the tv aerials so make sure you have to choose the right one.
Diplexed Wall Plates
A diplex wall plate is a dual TV output that provides two different types of connections with a single coaxial cable input. Since there is only one cable input, this means that there must be a signal combiner or diplexer higher up in the system that combines two different signals together. The most common type of diplex wall plate is a TV / FM or TV / Radio wall plate. The difference between the two is that the type of radio often allows DAB switching and uses a higher frequency than FM signals.
F-Wall Plates
Type F sockets or plates are used almost exclusively for satellite sockets and connections, such as your Sky & Freesat boxes and DAB radio. Type F plugs can also be used for overhead TV aerial installation and this is not necessarily a problem as in my opinion the F connection is far superior to the IEC coaxial connection. However, you may not want to do this, as this can confuse the signals provided by the connector. You may find yourself with someone trying to connect the TV aerial F card to the satellite receiver and wondering why it doesn’t work.
Type F sockets/walls do not always have to be isolated to allow a DC voltage to pass from the satellite receiver to power the LNB. Believe it or not, there are actually some F wall outlets that are insulated, they are usually relics of the past, but be careful if you have one. These would be useless for satellite links.
