Back of A/B Switch

This is the back of the A/B switch. Look closely at the side and bottom of the switch and you'll see a white area. That's heavy duty double stick material to hold the switch in place.

The white cable that connects to the center of the switch is from the Cable TV input and used to be connected to the back of the Video Distribution Switch. The cable on the right (A) is then connected to the back of the Video Distribution Switch so that when we want to hook up to RV Park Cable TV we just make sure the A switch on the A/B box is in and then push the Cable button on the VDS.

The cable on the left (B) is connected to the Sat In connection on the DirecTV receiver. No changes were made to the connection for TV out on the DTV cable. When we want cable from the remote dish (like when we're in trees we push the B button on the A/B switch.
