Gold plated connectors – Solid metal alloy with a 24 carat gold plating. These cables don’t have a lacquer protection because they do not need it (gold will not tarnish). 24 carat gold achieves better conductivity when lacquer is not in use and provides a better signal with minimal loss of quality.
Fully screened cable (shielded) – This prevents interference and reduces noise and crosstalk from other sources that may be situated around the cable. The signal produced is a lot cleaner with fewer defects. By using this cable a purer filtered signal path will be achieved.
Durable PVC jacket – The thick jacket helps to protect the cable against wear and tear.
Cable strain relief to protect the cable – Enables the cable to be bent in a multitude of directions without breaking, unlike many leads sold by different companies. OFC – oxygen free pure copper conductors to increase signal quality across the length of the cable.
An aerial cable can be used with lots of different types of equipment. In many situations, leads like this are used to plug a freeview box into a TV. This lead is also commonly used to connect a TV directly to a wall outlet.
This guide is for anyone looking to connect their TV or other devices using the B&Q Aerial Cable - White. The cable offers a reliable signal with gold-plated connectors and fully screened shielding, ensuring minimal signal loss and interference. A key benefit is the high-quality signal transmission, but be aware that the cable's performance depends on the quality of the connected devices.

FAQs
What is the purpose of the gold plating on the connectors?
The gold plating enhances conductivity, which results in a better signal and minimizes signal loss.
What does the shielding on the cable do?
The shielding prevents interference from other electronic devices, ensuring a cleaner signal with fewer defects.
Can I use this cable with any TV?
Yes, this cable is compatible with most TVs and devices that use an aerial connection.
How do I clean the cable?
Use a dry cloth to gently wipe the connectors. Avoid using liquids.
What is OFC?
OFC stands for Oxygen-Free Copper, which improves the signal quality throughout the length of the cable.
How long is the cable?
The cable is 3 meters long.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor picture quality
Check the cable connections at both ends to ensure they are secure. Also, ensure the aerial is properly connected and that the TV is tuned to the correct channel or input.
Interference or noise in the signal
Make sure the cable is not near other sources of interference, such as power cables. Check the cable for any physical damage.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High-quality signal transmission
Durable construction for long-term use
Shielded to minimize interference
Flexible design for easy installation
Cons
Performance is still dependent on the connected devices
Requires proper connection for optimal results
May not significantly improve signal if the source signal is poor
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Connecting the Cable:
Ensure both the TV and the device you are connecting (e.g., Freeview box) are turned off.
Connect one end of the aerial cable to the appropriate input on your TV (usually labeled 'Antenna' or 'Aerial').
Connect the other end to the output of your aerial or the relevant device.
Compatibility:
The cable is compatible with most devices that use an aerial connection.
Check the input/output ports of your devices to ensure compatibility.
Care:
Avoid bending the cable sharply to prevent damage.
Clean the connectors with a dry cloth if they accumulate dust or debris.
