'LoftBox' InHome Distribution
The Global 'LoftBox' is an integrated INHome Distribution system. It is normally situated in the Loft and combines TV, FM, DAB, CCTV & Satellite TV all onto one cable. At the end of the cable a Triplexing Wallplate or a Multi Service Plate will need to be fitted to separate the signals at the main living room. For all other rooms a std coax wall plate or TV / FM wall plate can be used.
The cable from the satellite dish / TV aerial etc is fed directly into the loftbox and avoids the need for untidy external cabling.
Most new houses have 2 cables fitted from the loft down to the main living room, it is usually terminated into a face plate marked TV & Sat. The face plate can be replaced with a Triplex or Multi service Plate which includes a return port, one of these cables can be used for the incoming signals and the other for the Sky return feed to the other rooms.
If you are using a Sky Plus receiver this requires an additional lead from the loft to the faceplate, the same loft box can be used as the cable will be connected direct from the dish to face plate. NB: When ordering the Multiservice face plate, you will need to order the plate with the additional satellite input.
The 'LoftBox' then takes a return feed from the living room which would typically be from the UHF2 output from the Sky digibox or from a "Y" splitter.
FM & DAB are diplexed onto the return feed & then distributed to additional points within the house via Global TV/FM diplex Wallplate. Each outlet point is able to receive normal terrestrial TV, FM, DAB, CCTV & the selected Satellite channel. The 'LoftBox' fully supports the Infrared control signals from the tvLINK Remote Eye back to the Sky digibox.
