Never miss an opportunity to buy a new tool...if you don't have them the Type F compression fittings are great.Ok, so splitter and a bag of type F fittings? I guess that clears that up

I moved into a shared house once where the owner had wired the TV aerial as a sort of 'ring main' covering the entire ground floor, so he and the other residents could plug in extra sets wherever they liked. This was how mains wiring was done, so how different could it possibly be?
Let's just say the picture quality (this was late 90s, so long before digital) wasn't the best. It probably wouldn't work at all nowadays.
No, not really my field TBH. But this had no splitters or anything, just half a dozen sockets all wired in parallel, some of which had sets connected. I'd heard the term 'ghosting' for signal reflections with analogue TV but never actually seen it before. Think there was a whole haunted house in thereNot sure if you have come across Trunk and Tap systems? Used mostly in blocks of flats and they work similarly to radial mains wiring.

Trunk and tap, just like the original Ethernet. 802.1 I think it was.
Go and stand in the corner for the rest of the lesson.Ok then that's me told
They could certainly be annoying. I've still got the DEC kit for boring the hole prior to clamping the transceiver on.I used to come across plenty vampire tapped Ethernet installs with appalling performance and reliability problems - used to cut the cable and put on a “proper” T junction if the tail was short enough or a repeater if not.
Hated the Ethernet taps!

Ah of course - it’s all coming back now!This has now prompted a "Google".
Happy memories
Oh yeah, and it had markings on the cable to show that, right?The original ethernet was critical when it came to transceiver position, every 1/2 wavelength Ithink it was. The thin-net you could break anywhere, put a T-piece on the DESTA, and away you went.
