Understanding Category 1718: Antennas
The Antennas category, identified by ID 1718, is a specific classification within the Electronics > Electronics Accessories hierarchy. It is designed to house hardware components primarily intended for the reception of radio or television broadcast signals.
What belongs in this category
This category is intended for devices that receive over-the-air signals. Examples from the US market include:
- Thin indoor HDTV antennas for digital signal reception.
- Portable and multi-directional UHF/VHF indoor digital TV antennas.
- Amplified indoor and outdoor HDTV antennas for high-gain performance.
- Deep fringe antennas designed for capturing distant broadcast signals.
What does not belong here
Items that do not function as broadcast reception antennas belong in other categories. If your product falls into these groups, please use the correct path:
- Signal Boosters: Devices specifically designed to amplify existing cellular or wireless signals rather than receiving broadcast television.
- Antenna Accessories: Includes mounting hardware, cables, splitters, or couplers used to support antenna installations.
- Adapters, Cables, or Electronics Cleaners: General hardware components that do not perform the primary function of antenna reception.
