Kathrein ESD 02 2-way antenna socket with DC pass-through (211500001)

Connecting a TV, radio, and satellite receiver to a single antenna outlet often requires multiple sockets or adapters. The Kathrein ESD 02 solves this by combining all three connections in one flush-mounted unit, with DC pass-through on the satellite output to power a satellite LNB or multiswitch.

Who is it for

This socket is ideal for homes and apartments where terrestrial TV, FM radio, and satellite TV need to be distributed from one wall outlet. It suits installers and DIY enthusiasts setting up a complete multimedia connection point.

Main features

• Three outputs: TV (IEC male), Radio (IEC female), and SAT (F-connector)
