Revotech Wallplate Connector Reduces Loss,
Feedback
Installers Can Increase Quality of Home Theater Systems
April 8, 2003
Revotech released its new RJAX 6040, 75-ohm self-terminating wallplate
connector. The RJAX 6040 terminates the coax line reducing signal loss and
preventing emission feedback from contaminating the cable provider's main
systems - a definite plus for satellite TV and home theater installers.
Un-terminated cable or transmission lines, or those terminated inconsistent
with the characteristic impedance of the cable, reflect energy. VSWR and signal
reflections reduce both signal quality and signal to noise ratio (SNR),
particularly at higher frequencies such as those of broadband digital,
broadcast video or high-resolution computer graphics. RJAX self-terminating
wall plate consistently and correctly terminates the 75-ohm video cable,
delivering maximum signal and highest picture quality.
Terminated connectors are not available for F-connections in the typical
home environment. Open, or un-terminated F-connector wall plates, cause picture
quality degradation of other attached devices in the network such as TVs, VCRs,
home entertainment system controllers, DVD players and satellite receivers.
RJAX 6040 will help solve this problem.
Unused RJAX 6040 wall plates self terminate, maintaining maximum signal
integrity and preserving signal quality. RJAX's 6040 precision 75-ohm connector
greatly exceeds (by 20 to 30 dB) other commercial terminators, including those
with a .1 percent tolerance rating.
