Tv coaxial splitter

[cactikid]

I have had a number of splitters on cable now no longer needed 5 - 1000mhz and thinking they could be used on Saorview feeds and will assume they are passive?

 

[steptoe]

if you look at the schematic on them (any decent ones I have ever seen have a schematic printed on them)
you will see if they have diodes in line or not, most have diodes in place for masthead amps
they should be passive with one way voltage for a masthead amp, and can therefore be considered passive

Its hiding somewhere.

Its hiding somewhere.

that just looks like a straight passthrough
the diodes are only needed if you have a masthead amp, its to stop the voltage being backfed into your other equipment,
so if you dont have a masthead amp that will be fine,

I cant see the freq range, but I assume you have verified that as being OK.

EDIT : I see you say 5-1000 I have no idea the freq of Saorview lol

5- 1000mhz tratec

No masthead amps as close to transmitter.

just googled,
Saorview is between 470 - 854 MHz

thunderbirds are go,,,,,,,

but, you might need an amp inline depending how many TVs you want to feed

2 tvs and boxes,have this also for sale.

Wont have much left if i remove from, sales thread lol

 

[steptoe]

should be fine if you have good quality co-ax and as you say, good signal as close to the transmitter
just try it and see how it goes

one thing I would say to anyone that has any amount of F plugs to make off, is get a proper compression tool and plugs

 

[cactikid]

Have the tool and plugs,twin coaxial,single coaxial,saorview coaxial
