You’ve just found out that cable TV is going to become available in your area. The outside wires have been installed, and the cable company has shown you where the outside cable box will be located. Sure, they can install everything. But you want to run wire to specific places in the house so that you can locate your TVs, computers, and other electronic items that can benefit from the cable signals. So, you’re going to do the inside wiring yourself.
Instructions
Wire Cable TV
1. Determine where you are going to want the TV(s), computer(s), and other electronic devices that will use the cable signal to be.
2. Unroll the cable TV wire as you need it, and begin running the wire from where the electronic devices will be located back to where they will eventually be connected with the cable company’s equipment. (See tips for more information.)
3. Install your connectors. Trim just enough wire from the cable to ensure that you will get a good connection, but do not remove the coating. Then, insert the stripped wire into the connectors. (See tips for more information.)
4. Connect the connectors to the splitter(s) by simply screwing or “crimping” the connectors to the openings on the splitter(s). (See TIPS for more information.)
5. Finish running the cable to the cable company’s equipment, and connect all cable wires to the cable company’s equipment.
6. Turn on the TVs and other electronic devices; make sure they are receiving a good, strong signal. Make any adjustments you may need.
