Seeking A Screened/non Isolated Skirting Type Aerial Socket.

[barkymalarkey]

Hi all

I'm looking for one of these types of sockets:

But one that is Screened/Non Isolated.

Not having much luck and wondered if anyone here knows if such a thing exists and where I can get one if so....

Many thanks

Max

but none of those are screened...

But what are you using it for that is so critical it HAS to be screened.

Obviously something more demanding than a tv / radio / DAB aerial, so I have to question the whole choice of connector.

Thanks for the replies guys.  

It is just for a TV....  But anything TV/aerial related I always check out this site for advice:

Here they discuss the importance of the screened / non-isolated thing:

So that's what made me think it would be a good idea....

once you do get that sceened outlet, maybe go to russ andrews and buy a new TV power lead from them?

 

[barkymalarkey]

Well of course, I had my house rewired last year in Russ Andrews mains.  Only cost £1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.  So wouldn't want to put a weak link in the chain and fcuk up here....

Just fit that socket.  it WILL be fine.

Digital tv is a lot more tollerant to noise than analogue ever was.  If your signal is that marginal, then you don't want to be fitting any connectors at all.

And the isolated / non isolated thing makes no difference unless you are powering a sky tv link or a masthead amplifier, then it must be non isolated.

A.T.V are great. I've gotten a few band specific aerials (damn great XB16A Yagis) from them rather than use the "wideband" tat you get from Maplin and the sheds etc. +1 on the above though, just bring a decent down lead(s) straight to the TV, cable/sat box etc through a plain wall plate (with plain hole/brush gear etc) if necessary. Much less loss and potential for interference then.
