Wiring an aerial socket
I want to neaten up the wiring in my home and part of this is to have a
proper wall socket for the aerial rather than a lead coming straight through the wall. I've got the socket but am not sure how to connect it up. Is it simply a case of the copper braiding being in contact with the U shape cable clamp part and the central core going to the single screw above it. Hopefully those in the know will understand this vague description ! Many Thanks Jim |

Make sure - as with everything - there are no strands from the screen that could short to the core. -- *If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap?

But do be aware that such connectors are a source of impulse noise which can be a problem for Digital Terrestrial Television. Ideally you should use a properly screened socket/faceplate if you want to have one See "Improving UK Aerial Installations" on http://www.dtg.org.uk/publications/books.html for more info, -- Michael Chare |
