Kathrein EBC 14 F Splitter 4-Way F-Female Silver Metal/Plastic 10798

In satellite and cable TV distribution systems, a reliable signal splitter is essential for feeding multiple receivers from a single antenna feed. The Kathrein EBC 14 is a 4-way F-splitter designed for professional and residential installations where one input signal must be distributed to four outputs without significant loss. Its die-cast zinc housing with nickel plating ensures durability and shielding effectiveness over 100 dB, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Why choose it

The EBC 14 delivers consistent signal distribution across the entire satellite and terrestrial TV band, including UHF, VHF, and SAT-IF frequencies. Its high shielding effectiveness prevents interference, and the DC pass-through allows remote powering of LNBs or amplifiers. The robust metal housing protects internal components from mechanical stress and environmental factors.

Ideal use cases

• Distributing a satellite signal to four set-top boxes in a residential flat
• Splitting a cable TV signal to multiple rooms in a house
• Connecting multiple tuners in a headend or distribution cabinet
• Outdoor installations where weather resistance is required

Good to know

The splitter is passive and requires no power supply. All F-connectors are female, so standard F-type plugs are needed for connection. The unit is compact and can be mounted directly on a wall or in a distribution box.
