TV-R-SAT Outlet Socket Legrand Niloe Step 863179B — terminal, 10 dB, white

Legrand Niloe Step TV-R-SAT outlet socket 863179B is a white coaxial termination device with 10 dB attenuation designed for the final connection point of terrestrial television, FM radio and satellite coaxial lines. It fits into standard modular wall plates and provides a single F-type output for connecting tuners, set-top boxes or television receivers. The unit is intended for residential and small commercial broadcast reception installations where a dedicated, terminated outlet is required.

Advantages

The outlet offers a clean, standardized interface for coaxial equipment with an integrated attenuation of 10 dB to reduce signal level in systems where high input can overload receivers. Its white finish matches common wall plate aesthetics and the modular design enables easy installation in existing faceplates. Built to the manufacturer’s mechanical and electrical dimensions, it ensures consistent mating with F-type connectors and a neat appearance on the wall.

Suitable for

• Termination of a coaxial cable run for terrestrial TV (DTT) connections
• Connecting FM radio tuners where an F-type or compatible connector is used
• Providing a dedicated satellite input to single tuners or set-top boxes where 10 dB attenuation is required
• Residential wall-plate installations and patch points in small apartments or houses

When it may not be suitable

This outlet is a passive, single-output terminal with fixed 10 dB attenuation; it is not a distribution amplifier and will not increase signal strength. In systems that require multiple outputs, signal amplification, or adjustable attenuation, a different device (splitter, multiswitch, or amplifier) should be used. It also assumes compatible F-type coaxial cabling and connectors; incompatible connector types will require adapters.

Key specifications

• Connector type: F-type coaxial output (single)
• Attenuation: 10 dB fixed
• Colour: white
• Intended use: termination for terrestrial TV, FM radio and satellite signals
• Mounting: modular wall plate compatible

How to use

Install the outlet into a compatible Niloe or standard modular wall plate following local electrical and cabling regulations. Terminate the incoming coaxial cable to the socket’s rear connection according to accepted coaxial termination practices and mechanical instructions. After securing the socket in the faceplate and restoring any protective covers, connect the receiver or set-top box using an F-type coaxial patch lead. Verify signal levels and reception quality; if signals are too low or too high for your equipment, consider using an amplifier, attenuator, or alternative outlet with different characteristics.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether a fixed 10 dB attenuation matches the signal levels and tuner sensitivity in your installation
• Compatibility with the wall plate series and F-type coaxial cabling used at the site
• Need for additional devices such as splitters, multiswitches, or amplifiers for multiroom or long-run installations
• Colour and aesthetic match with existing switchgear and faceplates

Usage recommendations

Use this Legrand Niloe Step TV-R-SAT outlet as the final termination point for a single receiver connection. Measure signal levels before and after installation when possible to confirm the 10 dB attenuation is appropriate. For multiroom distribution or active signal management, integrate suitable splitters or amplifiers upstream of this terminated outlet.
