Antenna power inserter LP URZ1194 with F-type socket, electronic power supply for TV/FM/DAB antennas

LP URZ1194 is an electronic antenna power inserter with an integrated F-type socket designed to supply DC power to active TV, FM and DAB antennas. It inserts power inline on a coaxial feed, allowing remote powering of masthead preamplifiers and inline amplifiers while maintaining RF signal transmission for audio and television reception. The compact design is intended for domestic and small commercial installations where a simple power feed solution is required.

Advantages

The unit provides a stable DC feed to antenna devices without interrupting the RF path, combining power insertion and pass-through signal handling in a single compact module. Its integrated F-type connector ensures compatibility with common coaxial cables and antenna hardware, and the electronic power supply offers protection against basic short-circuit conditions while minimizing signal degradation across TV, FM and DAB bands.

Suitable for

• Supplying DC power to active rooftop or masthead TV antennas
• Feeding power to FM and DAB active antennas
• Small domestic TV reception systems requiring a masthead preamplifier
• Compact installations where inline power insertion with an F-type connector is needed

When it may not be suitable

This power inserter is intended for low-voltage DC feeding of consumer antenna amplifiers and may not meet requirements for professional or high-power systems. It is not a multi-channel distribution amplifier and does not replace dedicated power supplies for complex headend or large-scale installations. For systems that need high current or specialized surge protection, choose a solution specified for those conditions.

Key specifications

• Function: Inline DC power insertion for coaxial antenna feeds
• Connector: Integrated F-type socket for coaxial connection
• Compatibility: Designed for TV, FM and DAB active antennas
• Application: Domestic and small commercial antenna installations
• Form factor: Compact, inline module for easy integration into existing cable runs

How to use

Install the unit in-line on the coaxial feed between the antenna and the receiver or amplifier. Connect the coaxial cable from the antenna to the F-type socket on the power inserter and connect the other coaxial lead to the receiver or downstream amplifier input. Apply the appropriate DC voltage from the power supply side according to the antenna or amplifier requirements. Ensure all connections are tight and weatherproofed if installed outdoors.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the antenna or masthead amplifier requires DC feed over coax and is compatible with an F-type connector.
• Check the required supply voltage and current of the active antenna or preamplifier to confirm compatibility.
• Assess whether inline insertion is sufficient or if a dedicated distribution amplifier or surge protection is needed for your installation.

Usage recommendations

Use short, high-quality coaxial cables and properly sealed F-type connectors for outdoor installations. Verify polarity and voltage requirements of the powered device before connecting, and mount the inserter in a dry or weather-protected location when possible.
