8 Way Aerial Distribution Amplifier (1.7m Power Lead)
2 Inputs - 1 UHF (TV), 1 VHF (FM radio) Type of Connection - Antenna sockets What does it do? This ultra-wideband distribution amplifier can be used with one or more aerials and is designed to improve picture and sound quality by amplifying weak UHF & VHF (FM and TV) signals and distributing these signals to multiple locations around your home. The 2 inputs (UHF & VHF) are combined and distributed to the 8 outputs (10db gain per output). Good quality coaxial cable loses about 0.18db/metre, therefore a cable run of 40 metres would lose about 7.2db so the amplifier gain should be roughly the same or slightly more than this. It can be used with digital (freeview) or analogue signals. DC Power pass - DC power pass means devices such as magic eye remote control extenders (commonly used for controlling sky boxes from another room) are compatible. If you would also like one of these devices please view our shop. Short Circuit Protection - The distribution amplifier has a built in short circuit protection on each individual output, meaning, if a short circuit is detected, only the output with the short circuit will be shut down. Installation - This device is very simple to install and instruction are provided. There are keyholes on the back of it so it can be wall mounted if required and fixings for doing this are also supplied. How do you use it? Usually this distribution amplifier would be situated in your loft. Cables to all of your TVs would then be run from the outputs of the distribution amplifier. Depending on how the wiring has already been set up in your house, the cable from your aerial would run to your satellite receiver (if you have one), then the outputs of this satellite receiver would run to your main TV and distribution amplifier (UHF input). If you have an FM aerial this would usually be run directly to the distribution amplifier and connected to the VHF input. If you require coaxial cable, this is also available from our shop.
