"F" Conn. to twisted pair

[sentel]

Anyone know of a product to do go from an "F" connector to twisted pair for CATV signaling. I have a unique situation where it would cost a bundle to get a customer a RG cable to this location. There happens to be a twisted pair cable already in place.

What do you want to transmit?

When you say CATV... do you mean the full channel spectrum?

The answer is no on that.

One channel, sure thing.

Maximum lentgh for the above device is 1000' for color and 2000' b&w.

There are many devices that would accomodate this request some passive and some active.

I have not used either of these products, but most vendors will allow you to return equipment if it doesnt meet your needs.

I come from the phone world. CATV is not my specialty by any means. Maybe you could instruct me on the diference between full channell spectrum vs. one channell. The customer has a dish that feeds to the closet with a receiver. It is split to four locations within the building. They are able to view all satalite channells from each TV monitor.

I have seen the BNC to twisted pair (Usually for CCTV / Video if I'm not mistaken). I have not seen any thing that goes directlly from "F" to twisted pair.

Well then the answer is yes...

You can transmit ONE channel. Your sattelite receiver outputs on one channel, usually 3 or 4. When I say full spectrum, I mean roughly 30MHz - 850 MHz (average CATV system). There are over one hundred channels in there... each channel takes a 6MHz block, for an audio carrier, video carrier, and sync carrier.

In the world of CATV, the reason we use a coaxial cable, is because it has a maximum of 2 GHz usable bandwidth, much more than twisted pair cabling.

But anyways, yes, you can output that sattelite receiever to anywhere using twisted pair.

If you wanted to extend a cable TV outlet, no chance.
