New tv point

[Robo]

I would like to install a new tv point. The existing installation is new. Outside aeriel feeds a splitter box in the roof, and there isn't any spare ways.

Theres an existing tv point about 10m away from where I would like to install the new one. Could I tap into this face plate to feed the new?? If so can u get a tv point plate that you can connect to cables into?


Or do I have to go right back to aerial and get a larger spiller. The cable route is shocking so I'm trying to steer clear of this.

Any help appreciated

Will you be using the existing one 10m away? If not put a straight through join and a blank plate on.

10m isn't too far. Some would consider it a little bit of a bodge but over such a short distance it won't cause you any problems daisy chaining out of the existing coax point. Dress the cables well and you can quite easily fit two coax cables into a standard coax outlet.

Ideally this existing point needs to stay. So that option isn't ideal?

How would you attach the two to the plate. I thought the clamp that you put around the sheaf would only fit one cable?

You never mentioned that in your OP, it was just an idea.

Strip one back a lot further and wrap the outer braid a good few times around the stripped outer braid of the other. Tape together for support.

No I should have been more specific, thanks for that option tho mate

Top man, thanks for your help

you can buy points as well that have two retaining bracket, one at the top and one at the bottom

Any idea where you get them from?

No worries bud, that's what the 'thanks' button is for

Very true, didn't really think about it as coax points I use will more often than not match the other accessories. I'm not a fan of mixing and matching but if it's only one additional point then this is another option worth exploring.
