| 1275394 | 2012-05-17 11:10:00 | Would this splitter be ok? www.jaycar.co.nz Thanks That is an F connector type and is OK to use, but you will probably need the right tools to fit the plugs. If you can get a simple Belling-Lee type two way splitter from Jaycar (LT-3020) and two coaxial plugs (solderless PP-0604) plis the necessary coax they can be easier to fit for a beginner. and you can get away with using a sharp knife to cut plastic, scissors to trim braid and nail clippers to cut the centre wire. Not that I would recommend that though....... Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1275395 | 2012-05-17 20:43:00 | I have used F type plugs before hooking up sat aerials which dont require a crimping tool. They have a little screw to grab the middle wire and the outside screen is tightened in a cone. Can I have cat 6 cable from the splitter to an old existing belling lee wall socket and use a short cat6 cable with BL plugs or should it be f plugs the whole way? Thanks for help |

| 1275396 | 2012-05-20 23:30:00 | Update Used a combination of F plugs and BL plugs, didn't use the F type splitter used a FM one already under the house, used Jaycar sat cable. Beautiful piccy on both tvs didn't seem to get worse with bad weather either like it used to. Thanks for help, dragon can watch tv in bed with all the freeview channels |
