Not the hugest bargain around, but might be handy for those who need it. I was looking for a 2 x F-connector wall plate, to move my antenna cable onto the wall plate that already has Optus cable. They were $6.95 @ Jaycar, and the one with the phone socket is $5.95.
For those who get/will be getting FTTN or FTTC NBN, you can connect the phone line up to the RJ12 port.
Those f type connections are a pain in the arse, might explain the discount. Does anyone actually prefer them?
Compared to what? The standard (pal?) type TV connection is often knocked out of the wall by my toddler, so our DVR records an hour of nothing. Now that the f-connector is screwed in that won't happen.
Since I realised you can get the screw-on connectors and don't need a crimper, I'm all about f-connectors. I also replaced my splitter in the ceiling, and put f-connectors on those cables for easy swapping, fault finding, etc. I find them to be easier than the screw-clamp alternative splitter connection.
I believe the standard is called a BNC connector. Yes I find them much easier, if it's loose it's probably just very old and worn out. Each to their own, mine is behind a mounted TV so there's zero chance it's going to fall out/be knocked out ever, and I don't have to spend 2 minutes screwing it in and out each time. If they were that good every manufacturer would be using them on the TV and video recorder ends, but that never happened.
hmm, still a matter of getting all 3 feeds to the same spot, wall plate is the easy bit.
