FAQs

What is the primary use for this RF extension cable?

This cable is primarily designed for extending existing male RF coaxial cables used for TV and Freeview signals.

What is included with the cable?

The package includes the 2-meter RF extension cable with a male and a female connector, along with a male-to-male coupler.

Are the connectors gold plated?

Yes, all contacts on the connectors are gold-flashed for a high-quality finish and anti-corrosive properties.

Can this cable be used for satellite TV or broadband internet?

While it uses standard RF coaxial connectors, it's optimized for terrestrial TV signals. For satellite (like Sky Q) or high-speed broadband, specific types of coaxial cables with different impedance or shielding might be recommended by the service provider.

How do I connect two male RF cables together?

You can use the included male-to-male coupler. Connect one male RF cable to one end of the coupler, and the other male RF cable to the other end.

What is the impedance of this cable?

The cable is constructed with a 75 Ohm impedance, which is standard for TV and video signals.

Can I get this cable in a different length?

This specific model is 2 meters. Cables Direct offers RF extension leads in various lengths and colours; please check product availability.

Troubleshooting

No signal or poor picture quality after connecting

Ensure all connections are secure. Check that the correct male and female ends are connected. Verify the extension cable is not damaged and the coupler is fully seated. Try using the extension cable without the coupler to rule out it as the source of the issue.

Cable does not fit the port

Confirm you are attempting to connect an RF coaxial cable. This cable uses standard RF connectors, not HDMI, USB, or other types. Ensure you are using the correct end of the cable (male or female) for the port.

Interference or static on the screen

Ensure the cable is not positioned near sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., power bricks, other cables). Check the integrity of the connections and the cable itself for any visible damage. For critical setups, consider a higher-shielded cable if interference persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extends existing RF coaxial cables easily.
  • Gold-flashed connectors ensure reliable signal transfer and durability.
  • Includes a versatile male-to-male coupler for varied connection needs.
  • Suitable for standard TV and Freeview signal extension.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for TV/Freeview; may not be suitable for other RF applications.
  • Fixed length of 2 meters; longer or shorter options may require a different product.
  • Basic cable construction without advanced shielding for extreme interference environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To extend an existing male RF coax cable, connect the male end of your current cable to the female connector of the Cables Direct extension lead. If you need to connect two male RF coax cables, use the provided male-to-male coupler between them. Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten.

Compatibility: This cable is designed for 75 Ohm coaxial applications, commonly used for TV aerials, Freeview, Sky, and other terrestrial digital broadcast signals. It should be compatible with any standard RF coaxial ports found on televisions, set-top boxes, and aerial splitters.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the cable and its connectors clean and dry. Periodically check connections for dust or debris and gently clean with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid exposing the cable to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical stress.
