TV via network cables
More and more in-home communications infrastructures consist solely of network cables.
The subsequent lack of coaxial cables creates problems when trying to connect different
types of equipment, such as TV sets and computers. Catline is our solution a completely new
system concept for distributing TV signals via standard network cables, such as CAT5/CAT6.
Catline can distribute analogue or digital TV signals up to 50 metres (at 860 MHz) and its
amplifier has four independently adjustable outputs.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
TVB-02 has a built-in adjustable, high performance amplifier

and equalizer. This is the only existing product on the market
which allows the output level from each port to be individually
adjusted. This means that you can separately compensate
for different cable lengths between the amplifier and the
RJ-45 outlets. The high output gain allows up to 50 metre
cable lengths at 860 MHz. The TVB-02 can be wall-mounted
or installed in a 10" or 19" panel or cabinet.
