Can you post a picture of the back of the socket?

You have bought a triplexed outlet, not a dual outlet. A triplexed outlet splits the mixed signals in a singal downlead.

Sounds like you want a simple DUAL outlet with a PAIR of outlets and a PAIR of terminals.

Get a sheilded "MAXVIEW" ones - They have the lowest DB loss

You will have to upload it to PhotoBucket or similar site as we cannot access you computor ( and you wouldn't want us to );

Well dont! When you turn your PC off what happens? How do we see into your hard drive then?

All Triplex plates are the same.

One cable carries SKY, TV and Radio which is decombined by the Triplex plate. This plate is for use in TV distribution systems like the Loftbox etc where the Loftbox combines the incoming SKY, aerial and FM and sends it down one cable to the main room i.e. lounge.

It is of no use to you if you have the aerial and fm coming down seperate cables. You can use it if you buy a UHF + FM diplexer for combining the tv aerial and fm down one cable. You need something like this: http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page11c.htm#uhfdip

The reason I choose this socket was because it matched all my other electrical sockets for the room.

As already posted you have a triplex plate. There is clearly only one terminal for one cable on the bottom right hand side of the faceplate on the back.

As I posted in my previous reply just use a diplexer to combine the signals down one lead if you really have to use that faceplate.

On image 1271, look at the bottom right of the circuit board- see that little arch and adjacent terminal? the arch grips the sheath, and the terminal secures the inner core.

But you have to find a way to combine the 2 feeds elsewhere.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I honestly thought when I bought the socket it would be a simple case of connecting up the individual cables...Silly me!!!

So I'm going to buy A88945 diplexer UHF/VHF with F connectors.
Just out of interest what are f Connectors?

Also a big thanks for the picture advice, I'm a bit of a clown with computers!!!

Cheers

All

Satcure also sell the f plug connectors so order them with the diplexer.
