FAQ
Q1. How do diplexers work?
A1. A diplexer is used when combining and
separating off air/satellite or cable/satellite signals. Diplexers can
also be used in back feeding the output of the receiver to feed or mirror
another TV to a particular receiver.

Q2. What is mirroring with splitters?
A2. Mirroring with splitters is when you split the
output of a single receiver to feed multiple TVs. When mirroring it
is important to point out that all viewers will be required to watch the same
channel at the same time.

from an LNB and combining to allow multiple receivers to be hooked up
to one dish.

Q4. What's the difference between a Splitter and
a Diplexer?
A4. The main difference between a
splitter and a diplexer is the frequencies that they handle. A
splitter handles one frequency range between the two ports. Where as a
diplexer has a separate frequency range on each port. Splitters main
purpose is to split the signal that is being fed into
it. Splitters can be used as combiners, as long as the
frequency stays within the spec of the splitter and will not conflict with the
frequency being fed by the other port.

Q5. What is the difference between Compression
and Concentric Crimp Connectors?
A5. The main difference between
these two style connectors is the matter in which they are crimped. A
Concentric Crimp Connector has a crimp ring which is forced between 2
dies forming the metal into a cone or radial style crimp. Where
as the Compression Crimp connectors have a sleeve that is attached
and when compressed it forms a seal between the jacket of the cable
and the inner ring of the connector. The other difference between
these 2 styles of connectors is the force that is needed in order to
complete the crimping process. The Concentric Crimp connectors take much
more force to crimp than that of the Compression style.

Q6. Do you carry the Bird Dog?
A6. We do not carry the BIRD DOG
satellite meter, but we do have the PICO SAT satellite meter. This unit
has the same features as the BIRD DOG satellite meter. We are also a
stocking distributor for Applied Instruments, who is the manufacturer of
the SATBUDDY2 satellite meter and the DUALBUDDYsatellite meter.

Q7. Does your cable crack in extreme weather
conditions?
A7. Our cable is rated to -30?F.
Although in some cases, we have found people have put to small a radius on the
cable during installation causing it to crack even though the temperature is
not down to -30?F. The cable is tested using a 4" radius which is what
the ANSI/SCTE 09 2001 (formerly the IPS TP 001) requirement is.
If the cable is installed in extreme temperatures with a radius under 4",
it is possible for the cable to crack. This can be avoided by warming the
cable with your hand and/or making sure the bend has a minimum radius of
4". It is also important to note that the cable has a higher chance
of cracking if it is left in extreme temperatures for more than 4 hours.

Q8. Do you carry Satellite Receivers?
A8. We currently do not supply receivers to the
installers.
Q9. How much is shipping?
A9. Shipping is based on the weight and the zip
code for your shipping location. We do not have over inflated charges for
shipping. Because of the volume of our shipping capacity, we can offer a
competitive price for shipping costs.
Q10. How fast can I get my order?
A10. Depending on your geographical location, we
can have your product to you within the Continental U.S. within 2-3 business
days.
