Using a combined Masterlink & Aerial Cable

27 replies

For those people installing masterlink for use with link televisions, can I suggest you consider using a combined cable as shown below for the following reasons:-

  1. The combined Masterlink and aerial cable made by Bosscom costs less than a standard B&O Masterlink cable
  2. The cable has the same technical spec as the B&O cable, in fact they make all the B&O cables.
  3. You can also purchase a wall outlet with a combined aerial and Masterlink socket as well

ML plus aerial

Just check to make sure the cables are suitable to your setup. You could end up using lots of connectors and fair amounts of exposed, split cable and having a poor RF link signal.

ML is a BUS system so that extra rooms can run off by simply using ML connector boxes and convienant junctions from the one cable. B&O like you to use a single RF cable from the newer external modulators to each TV for the best signal quality. To link the cable as one won't always work.

Keith, thank you bringing this up, I have tried to get a dealer list from them some time before, but no response.

 

I really like the "power" link cable, hopefully it is the version that works with the new speakers.

As highlighted by Beoaus, if you intend to have many (greater than one) link TV's there can be a problem with long lengths of cable (greater than 30 metres because the aerial only has a single screen, so you can get reduced signal and possible interference depending on cable routing. So, going to link rooms where the cable is not to long is fine and will work perfectly, otherwise I would suggest using the B&O link amplifier.

Lee has both the cable and Boscom Wall Socket covers for sale with LIFESTYLE AV.

I purchased six from him last year, wired, and installed the units under the concerned gaze of my wife. I first ran each cable run per room into a PVC wall box, which the Boscom wall socket plate then covers, safe and secure. She is satisfied with the looks and outcome. This was no easy task as the walls are masonry. Wallboard would have been fair easier.

Note that the antennae connection plugs on the Boscom sockets are single PAL. They can easily be unscrewed and changed to NTSC ( Non HD coaxial / RG 6 ) connectors for North American applications.

Keith;

Good Morning !

Excuse my ignorance but I'm just about to embark on masterlinking for the first time (3 Avants in a small flat).

Is the aerial part of this cable supposed to give you tv reception from the roof aerial, or does it replace the RF cable I'd need to run between the Avants to be able to share video sources?

Thanks
