Vimar Eikon TV-RD-SAT Coaxial Socket Outlet, 5-2400 MHz, Male Connector

Overview

The Vimar Eikon is a coaxial TV-RD-SAT socket outlet for bringing TV, radio, and satellite signals to a cabin TV, stereo, or receiver across the 5-2400 MHz band.

It snaps into an Eikon modular mounting plate and uses a male coax connector on the front, with no cover supplied. Single-connection versions are end sockets with 1 dB connection attenuation and they can pass d.c. current and control signals up to 24 V 500 mA max. Through-line versions are loop-through sockets with 10 dB connection attenuation and they are not suitable for remote power supply.

Key features

• TV-RD-SAT coax outlet rated for 5-2400 MHz distribution (terrestrial TV, radio, and satellite IF ranges)
• Two wiring styles available: end socket (single connection) or loop-through (through-line) for daisy-chained coax runs
• Single connection: suitable for remote power supply, with d.c. and control signal pass-through up to 24 V 500 mA max
• Through-line: specified through loss of 2.20 dB at 860 MHz and 3.40 dB at 2150 MHz, with tap loss of 10.60 dB at 860 MHz and 9.90 dB at 2150 MHz
• Snap mounting (engagement) fastening for quick fit into the mounting support
• Plastic mechanism with no cover, intended to pair with the matching Eikon frame and cover plate

Variants

Finish options include Grey (RAL 7024 similar), White (RAL 9016 similar), and Silver (RAL 9022 similar). The finish changes the visible color once installed in an Eikon plate.

Outlet style varies between Single connection and Through-line. Single connection is an end socket and it supports remote power feed with d.c. and control signal pass-through up to 24 V 500 mA max. Through-line is a loop-through socket for continuing the coax run to the next outlet, with defined through and tap losses and no remote power supply capability.

Compatibility and fit

This is an insert for Vimar Eikon wiring devices. Plan for the matching Eikon frame and the TV-RD-SAT cover plate, since the socket mechanism is supplied without a cover.

On a boat, it belongs in a protected interior location such as the saloon, cabins, or nav station. It is not a sealed bulkhead connector, so it should stay out of areas that see direct spray or regular washdowns.

Installation and setup

Route the coax with gentle bends and leave enough slack so vibration and hull movement do not load the connector. For through-line installs, identify the incoming feed and the continuation cable before closing the panel so the signal path stays correct across the run.

Where a masthead amplifier, active splitter, or control voltage needs to pass through the outlet, confirm the system remains within the 24 V 500 mA max limit supported by the single-connection versions.

Use cases on board

This outlet is a good match for boats running a shared TV antenna, marina cable feed, or satellite receiver to multiple locations. It also suits refits where the interior already uses Vimar Eikon plates and you want the TV, radio, and satellite points to match the rest of the switchgear.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
