RF - Push-in style connection usually required for TV s F Type - Screw on style connection usually found on Splitters or Satellite/Virgin boxes We supply a full range of lengths from 0.5m (50cm) all the way up to 20m in length. These cables are made from Copper 75Ohm coaxial cable unlike cheaper versions on the market which use copper coated aluminium (CCA). Copper cables provide a better signal at longer lengths ensuring you receive the best quality possible. TV to F connector 75 Ohm 3C-2V Copper White.
This Kenable Coaxial F Type Connector Cable in White is designed for users needing to connect TV aerials to satellite boxes or vice versa. Its primary benefit is providing a superior signal quality due to its pure copper construction, ensuring optimal viewing at various lengths, though it may require specific adapter knowledge for certain older devices.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of using a copper coaxial cable like this one?
The main advantage is superior signal transmission and integrity, especially over longer distances, compared to cheaper cables made from copper-coated aluminum (CCA). This results in a clearer picture and more reliable reception.
What types of connections does this cable have?
This cable features a standard TV aerial push-in style connector on one end and an F Type screw-on connector on the other.
Can I use this cable for both TV aerials and satellite dishes?
Yes, it's designed for this purpose. The F Type connector is typically used for satellite equipment and splitters, while the push-in connector is common for terrestrial TV aerial inputs.
What does '75 Ohm 3C-2V' mean?
75 Ohm refers to the cable's impedance, which is standard for coaxial video and audio signals. 3C-2V is a type of coaxial cable construction often used for these applications, indicating its size and dielectric properties.
How do I know if I need this cable?
You need this cable if you are connecting a device with an F Type connector (like a satellite box) to a device with a push-in aerial connector (like a TV's aerial input), or vice-versa, and you want a reliable connection with good signal quality.
Are there different lengths available?
Yes, Kenable offers this cable in a range of lengths, from 0.5 meters (50cm) up to 20 meters.
Is the white color standard for this type of cable?
The white color is an aesthetic choice for blending with home decor and entertainment systems. The core functionality is determined by the cable's construction and connectors.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor picture quality
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Check that the correct connector type (push-in or F-Type) is attached to the corresponding port on your devices. Verify the cable is not damaged or kinked. Test with a different, known working cable if possible.
F-Type connector won't screw on tightly
Check for any debris or damage on the threads of the connector or the port. Ensure you are using an F-Type connector and not another similar-looking connector.
Push-in connector is loose
The push-in connector is designed for a snug fit. Ensure it is fully inserted. If it feels excessively loose, inspect the connector and port for damage.
Cable too short for desired setup
The Kenable cable is available in multiple lengths. If you require a longer run, consider purchasing a longer version of the same cable to maintain signal quality.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Superior signal quality due to pure copper construction.
Reliable performance over longer cable runs.
Durable build compared to CCA alternatives.
Wide range of lengths available to suit different needs.
Facilitates easy connection between aerial and satellite equipment.
Cons
Requires understanding of both TV aerial (push-in) and F Type (screw-on) connector styles.
May not be compatible with all legacy devices without adapters.
White color might show dirt more easily in some environments.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the connection type on your devices: one end is a push-in 'TV Aerial' style, and the other is a screw-on 'F Type' connector.
Connect the F Type connector by screwing it securely onto the corresponding port on your satellite box or splitter.
Connect the push-in TV Aerial connector by firmly pressing it into the aerial input port on your TV or terrestrial receiver.
Compatibility:
This cable is compatible with standard TV aerial inputs (IEC male push-in) and F Type satellite/cable connections (F-Type female).
It is designed for 75 Ohm impedance systems.
Ensure your devices have the appropriate ports for these connector types. Adapters may be needed for older or non-standard equipment.
Care:
Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, which can damage the internal conductors and shielding.
Keep connectors clean; use a dry, soft cloth if necessary. Do not use liquids.
Protect the cable from excessive moisture, heat, or physical stress.
