ᐅ Is it possible to have a connection box for TV (satellite) and LAN?

Hello everyone,

I haven’t really found an outlet for TV (satellite) and LAN. However, Jung offers a "Smart TV outlet."

Is the right connector intended for cable TV or Unitymedia? Do you know of a similar outlet with a satellite connection for an F-type connector?

Why do you want a combined socket? A single network outlet at the TV is often not enough, so an additional switch is usually needed. Depending on the devices connected to the TV, it may even be advisable to install two double network sockets.

Gira offers something like this. Try searching for "gira rj45 f socket." However, I would also recommend using two separate outlets.

What hanse987 says.

I even have double satellite sockets everywhere instead of single ones. These are installed in real empty conduit to allow replacing the coaxial wiring with CAT cables if needed.

If I were to build today, I would probably build without satellite. If satellite is essential, then it’s worth looking into Sat over IP and planning the corresponding network cabling.

I have a power outlet, LAN, and TV socket on two different walls. The second wall is more of a "backup" in case the occupant wants to rearrange the living room differently. So I thought it would be better to keep the sockets compact.

Most of my friends and acquaintances use Wi-Fi. But yes, a double network socket wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Cool, great. Exactly that.

Great advice. I’m hearing about this for the first time and will check it out right away. Then having two network cables especially makes sense.

I recommend customers install duplex LAN and duplex satellite connections in the living room, at least at the TV location, and preferably not directly behind the device.
