Pure Home Networking Video Combiner,
Splitter, and Booster Modules
2. Overview
The Pure Home Networking Video/Audio Modules
should be installed in one of the Pure Home
Networking Boxes (JHN1014A, JHN1020A, JHN1030A,
or JHN1040A).
The Pure Home Networking 1 x 2-Port Video Combiner
(Passive) Module (JHN2046A) has three F-type
connectors and operates at frequencies up to 1 GHz.
This module integrates inboard and outbound video
signals and an auxiliary signal such as digital cable. See
Figure 2-1.

The Pure Home Networking 1 x 8-Port Bidirectional
Video CATV Splitter (Passive) Module’s (JHN2048A)
single input port accepts modulated signals from eight
output video devices (VCRs, TVs, DVDs, etc). It has nine
F-type connectors and supports 1- and 2-GHz signals.

3. Installation
3.1 Tools You’ll Need
• Coaxial wire strippers
• Coaxial connectors
• Coaxial crimpers
• Wire cutters
3.2 Cable Handling Guidelines
• Do not route data cables through the same cable
holes as the AC power cables.
• For safety, separate all data cables from parallel AC
power lines by at least 6 inches (15.2 cm)
whenever possible. Avoid kinking the cable.
• Do not attach cable tie-downs too tightly. The
cable-fastening hardware should not compress
the cable sheath.
• Do not bend the cable sharply. Place the cables
properly in the cable management after passing
them through the holes, since the edges of the
hole can compress or damage the cable sheath.
• When installing an individual module in the Pure
Home Networking Box, place it above or below
the interfacing module (if possible). This will
eliminate excessive cable crossing.
