The TV allows you to keep abreast of news, and also remains one of the main ways to relax after a working day. However, a necessary condition for its high-quality work is the connection of the antenna. Modern models can connect to the Internet, but this is not enough, because to watch your favorite channels you need an antenna. Even satellite TV works on the principle of receiving and transmitting a signal through an antenna plug.
Reference! The television cable and the antenna plug does not conduct current, so you can conduct it yourself without fear of injury.
How to choose the right cable
To trust a professional is definitely worth choosing a television cable. There are several varieties that have their own pros and cons. These factors can affect the duration of use and even directly on stable operation.
It is necessary to choose a wire according to resistance to temperature and humidity. They are affected by the quality and density of the braid, diameter and special impregnation. Additional reinforcement with the carbon layer also occurs. In other words, the thicker the better and more resistant to climate.
By location
The first thing to think about: where will the wire be laid.
- If the antenna is located on the facade of the house - a diameter of 8 to 10 mm.
- Wiring on a window or balcony - up to 7 mm.
- If at the entrance - both the first and the second will do (it depends on whether the staircase is warm and where the cord comes from: roof, window, etc.).
By signal type
Satellite and cable TV options are also different., that is, the choice depends on the type of signal. The device, of course, is the same, but the signal transmission method is different. Satellite goes on a copper conductor, and cable - on top of the conductor. Wires with a thin core will not miss the satellite signal, therefore for such a TV you need to choose thick views.
By picking
The third thing you need to pay attention to is the configuration - connectors, adapters and splitters. They should fit in diameter and be angular so that the cord does not bend. Length is an individual matter. You can pre-calculate the distance with indentation. Or purchase with a margin - it will come in handy when reinstalling the antenna or changing the location of the TV.
TV connection
The connection takes place on the principle of a plug in the socket - the plug is attached to the TV socket. However, before this, the part must be placed on the cable itself.
IMPORTANT! Despite the safety of the television wire, it is recommended that you wear rubberized gloves.
Connection process is simple.
- A circular cut of the sheath on the cable is made - about 1.5-2 cm from the edge.
- The screen hairs and foil are bent towards the wire (do not tear).
- The inner layer of insulation is cut off and completely removed.
- The plug is screwed onto the exposed core clockwise until it stops (to the insulation layer).
- The protruding remainder of the core is cut off.
Stripping is carried out with extreme care so as not to damage the screen hairs and internal insulation.. Otherwise, the signal will be transmitted with interference and will have to redo the installation of the plug.
How to run a cable around the apartment
A well-laid TV cable is a guarantee of a good image. First of all, you need to decide on the place of installation of the distribution panel.
IMPORTANT! Do not confuse the distribution panel with the electric one - they must be located separately.
The best way to lay - From the shield directly to the TV. To prevent it from interfering, placement under the ceiling is recommended, where you can close it with special plastic panels. So the wire will not be damaged if there are pets. You can also stretch to the TV under the skirting boards.
More economical way: connect splitters in series. However, if the outlet breaks down, the signal will be interrupted and you will have to spend money on repairing the television cable.
Also possible the most cumbersome option: hold a wire in the wall.
How to connect the antenna cable in the entrance
Often the cable is laid in the roof of the house, after which it is equipped with amplifiers and routed along the distribution boards in the entrances. The wire in the entrance is connected exactly to such a junction box, in which splitters (crabs) for different software packages are already pre-installed. Just connect the wire from your apartment.
TIP! If you do not understand what sockets for what and which wire to use for access, then be sure to call the telemaster who will make a full connection.
In this way, the television cable is selected and connected to the distribution panel both in the apartment and outside the living room. You can conduct the antenna yourself or with the help of a specialist. In this case, there is a greater chance of avoiding incorrect installation.
