Antenna Socket RTV-SAT through 4 dB white – Schneider Electric EPH3500221

Schneider Electric RTV-SAT through antenna socket EPH3500221 in white provides a pass-through connection for terrestrial TV (RTV) and satellite (SAT) signals. Intended for in-wall installation, this single outlet supports combined distribution of antenna and satellite feeds with a 4 dB characteristic attenuation for the satellite path, making it suitable for connecting set-top boxes and televisions in homes and apartments.

Advantages

The device combines RTV and SAT signals in one compact outlet, reducing the number of wall openings and simplifying cabling. Its 4 dB characteristic on the satellite path helps match signal levels in common installations. The white finish and standard mounting format make it compatible with many switchplate systems and interior styles. Designed for fixed in-wall mounting, it provides a tidy, low-profile termination point for coaxial connections.

Suitable for

• Residential living rooms, bedrooms, and media rooms where combined terrestrial and satellite signals are required
• Apartments or homes with in-wall coaxial distribution systems
• Connecting set-top boxes, satellite receivers, and televisions to a single wall outlet

When it may not be suitable

This through socket provides a fixed, single point connection and is not suitable where multiple independent satellite feeds or complex multiswitch systems are required. It also does not include active amplification; installations needing signal boosting or long cable runs with significant loss will require additional distribution or amplification equipment.

Key specifications

• Function: Combined RTV (terrestrial) and SAT (satellite) through socket
• Characteristic attenuation (SAT path): 4 dB
• Colour: White
• Mounting type: In-wall (flush) installation, single outlet format
• Connector type: Coaxial F-type/IEC compatible outlet for RTV and SAT use
• Application: Indoor residential use for TV and satellite reception

How to use

Install the outlet in a standard flush wall box and connect the incoming coaxial cables for terrestrial and satellite feeds to the respective terminals according to installation guidelines. After mounting the faceplate, connect the television or set-top box using a coaxial lead. Ensure connectors are tightened and cable shielding is intact to maintain signal quality. For installations with multiple outlets or long cable runs, verify signal levels and add distribution amplifiers or splitters if necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm compatibility with your existing in-wall mounting frames and switchplate system
• Check whether 4 dB satellite attenuation suits your receiver and distribution layout
• Determine if additional amplification or multiswitching is required for your setup
• Verify indoor use and compatibility with your coaxial connector types

Usage recommendations

For best results, have a qualified installer fit the socket and verify signal levels after installation. Use good-quality coaxial cables and properly shielded connectors. When extending distribution or adding more receivers, plan for appropriate splitters or amplifiers to keep signal levels within recommended ranges.
