BK junctions are used to distribute broadband cable connections (cable TV including multimedia services such as telephony and internet). The distribution of FM and DAB+ radio as well as DVB-T digital TV is also possible. In contrast to a distributor, the damping at the outputs is different in a branch. The trunk line output has a low transmission loss, so several distribution components can be operated in a row. At the junction output, the damping is higher. Through a previous level calculation and the use of branches with different attenuation, an almost the same signal level can be achieved for all connections in the house. Due to the higher directional attenuation, stub line sockets can be used on a branch, these have lower damping values than through sockets. This branch has hum-suppressed connections and is characterised by a high return loss. The metal housing with F-connectors is highly shielded, the shielding ratio corresponds to class A. The branch is multimedia compatible and approved for Vodafone cable Germany.
