Digital camera reviews of Protectnet for Coaxial Cables
Digital camera Review: Excellent Coax Surge Protection - Even for Digital Cable, Phone, Internet
Summary: 5 Stars
For well over a year, I have had my DLP HDTV, DVR, DVD player, etc powered by my APC BR800BLK UPS with great results. While I trust the UPS to take care of the AC power feeding my precious equipment, the coax cable feeding my cable box was unprotected and represented a huge "back-door" entry point for damaging electrical transients (spikes).
I was concerned about putting anything between my cable box and the coax line providing the digital signal. My signal to noise ratio, as reported by my Motorola 6120 III DVR was already on the low side (32-34dB) so I feared that any coax protection would easily chop off 2-3dB of signal. This would, of course, create macroblocking on the video.
I purchased the PV since it has a 0-3dB rated insertion loss. I hoped to be closer to zero than 3dB. Using the TVSS grounding screw on my BR800BLK, I secured the PV's grounding wire. I routed my coax into the PV and used some surplus RG6 Quad Shielded coax for the 4ft span from the PV's out port to the cable box.
I then checked the signal reported by the cable box and it didn't move more than a tench of a dB. That's close enough to zero insertion loss for me! I'm thrilled to get this lifetime guaranteed product to completely shield my home theatre from power issues.
This is a highly recommended solution!
