{"product_id":"qbp568571","title":"Vimar Idea TV-RD-SAT Socket Outlet, 5-2400 MHz, Male Connector","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Vimar Idea coaxial TV-RD-SAT socket outlet is a 1-outlet wall module for distributing TV, radio, and satellite signals on board over coax from 5 to 2400 MHz. The range covers both a through-line version with 10 dB shunt attenuation for daisy-chained runs and a single-connection version with 1 dB shunt attenuation for a terminating run. Single-connection versions allow DC and control signals to pass on the coax up to 24 V, 500 mA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a snap-in base element in plastic, supplied without a cover, so it is meant to be fitted into a compatible Idea support and finished with the appropriate frame and plate. Physical size is about 50 mm tall, 24.8 mm wide, and roughly 32 mm deep behind the panel, which helps when you are working in shallow liners or furniture panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range 5 to 2400 MHz for TV, radio, and satellite coax distribution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMale IEC 169-2 connector.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThrough-line versions: 10 dB shunt attenuation; through loss 2.2 dB at 860 MHz and 3.4 dB at 2150 MHz.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-connection versions: 1 dB shunt attenuation; connection loss 0.1 dB at 860 MHz and 0.2 dB at 2150 MHz; supports DC\/control pass-through up to 24 V, 500 mA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSnap fixing base element, supplied without a cover plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic body with Color options in Gray (RAL 7015) or White (RAL 9001).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eVariants\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis outlet is offered in multiple configurations to match both your interior finish and the way your coax lines are routed through the boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross the range, the main differences are the Color and whether the outlet is Through-Line (pass-through) or Single Connection (direct\/terminating). Through-line versions are for runs that continue to another outlet, while single-connection versions are for the end of a run and support DC\/control pass-through up to 24 V, 500 mA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16306.10.B: Color White; Outlet Through-Line. This format is used when the coax run continues on to another cabin or station and you need a defined tap point along the line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16306.10: Color Gray; Outlet Through-Line. The pass-through layout helps keep a daisy-chained distribution tidy when multiple outlets are fed from one backbone run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16306.01.B: Color White; Outlet Single Connection. This is the terminating outlet for a run, with DC\/control pass-through available when your system uses power over coax.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVM16306.01: Color Gray; Outlet Single Connection. A good fit where the cable ends at this location and you want the lowest in-line loss at the outlet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the location like any other interior wiring device: pick a spot that stays protected from direct spray, leave room for the coax bend radius behind the panel, and secure the cable so vibration does not work the connector loose over time. If the outlet is mounted in furniture, leave enough service loop to pull the module forward for inspection without stressing the coax.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is supplied as a base element without a cover, match it to the correct Idea support and finishing parts for the panel you are using. Once installed, keep the coax termination clean and dry, and use the same care you would on any RF connection on board so corrosion does not creep into the braid and reduce signal quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eSignal routing on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough-line outlets belong in a chain where the coax enters and exits the same location, feeding the next outlet down the line while tapping off signal at each point. Single-connection outlets are used where the coax run ends at the outlet, and they can pass DC\/control on the coax up to 24 V, 500 mA for systems that require it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis range suits boats that are adding a proper TV\/RD\/SAT outlet at the saloon TV, nav station, or a cabin berth and want it to match other Vimar Idea devices already installed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"White \/ Through-Line","offer_id":52370943803573,"sku":"QBP568571-V1","price":50.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gray \/ Through-Line","offer_id":52370943836341,"sku":"QBP568571-V2","price":50.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"White \/ Single Connection","offer_id":52370943869109,"sku":"QBP568571-V3","price":35.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Gray \/ Single Connection","offer_id":52370943901877,"sku":"QBP568571-V4","price":33.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1318982_qbp568571.jpg?v=1774056207","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp568571","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
