Coaxial Cables, RG-6, RF, is these mean anything to you please read this.?
Question: Im doing a renovation and i found 2 coaxial cables. One was labeled Sat im assuming that would be satellite. The other had RF . The real problem is that there is a feed, which splits. One goes to the one labeled Sat , the other goes to another splitter. The 2nd splitter goes to the one labeled RF , and the other goes straight to the TV. Now im assuming the Sat one just plugs into the reciever, but i dont know what the RF one is for? HELP!!!
Answers: Well it's a kinda vague question but remember, all cables connect to two places . Can you backtrack to the origination of the other cable? RG -6 is an industry term describing the cable type/quality. RF simply means Radio Frequency. Am/Fm/Vhf/Uhf are all included in that term RF. It could be an antenna source for your audio tuner and TV set to get local off air signals, remember when Satellite couldn't carry local programming? I'd connect it to my antenna in port on my monitor/receiver. Assuming I'm correct, that would allow you to tune in the local news station on the antenna when the Sat dish cuts out in severe weather.
The two different cables...do the split from one original source resulting in 2 cables (sat and RF)? Or the the Sat and RF cables come from two seperate sources?
What is it your hooking up?, Sat TV (ie directv), cable?
FYI: RF is a term given to RG-6 cables meaning Rdaio Freq. This was just as cable was comming about, and people still referred the signal goin into the TV as a Rdaio signal. (since before cable all TV was broadcast over radio waves) You'll also sometimes hear a cable spillter refered to as an RF splitter
RF .. means Radio Frequency its for Hi Fi stereo if you have one . there should be input at the back of HI Fi .. to receive radio stations on digital tuner
That might not be a splitter,....it could be a diplexer. A diplexer is used to combine the signal of an antenna with the signal of a satellite and therefore just one 75 ohm cable is needed instead of running 2. Consider this....one wire comes in to the diplexer and out of it comes 2 wires. One wire would hook directly to the satellite and the other wire is for the antenna (RF). The RF wire could then run to a splitter (not diplexer) that would enable you to hook the antenna (RF) to multiple tv's.
I'm just guessing .....this is one of several things you could be dealing with.
Technically they are both RF signals with both the audio and video modulated.
The RF is likely designated for the cable company feed, with Sat from the sat dish.
The reason for the split is to offer you the opportunity to switch your TV input and pick up either or.
You can't do this though. A Sat signal has voltage on it, and requires a Multi-switch to go to more then one receiver. Plus, a Sat signal requires a Sat receiver, at every TV.
Cable signal can pass through the average splitter, not too many times though, you will lose signal.
Eliminate the splitters go direct to the TV with the RF cable, and you should have Cable TV.
For the Sat you have to input this into a receiver then out to TV.
