Why choose it

The die-cast zinc housing provides excellent shielding and durability, while the F-type connectors ensure a secure and low-loss connection. DC pass on all outputs allows for remote powering of LNBs or amplifiers, simplifying installation in satellite systems.

Ideal use cases

• Distributing terrestrial TV and radio signals to multiple rooms in a home or small office.
• Splitting satellite IF signals from a single LNB to multiple receivers.
• Indoor installations where a compact, screw-mountable splitter is needed.

Good to know

The EBC 13 is designed for indoor use only and should be mounted securely using screws. Its wide frequency range covers both terrestrial and satellite bands, making it a versatile component in modern RF distribution networks.

Tip: When installing, ensure all F-type connectors are tightened to 1.2 Nm to maintain proper shielding and prevent signal leakage. Use high-quality coaxial cable with matching impedance to minimise losses.
