FAQs
What is the purpose of the included male-to-male coupler?
The coupler allows you to connect two existing RF coaxial cables that both have male connectors, effectively creating a longer extension cable.
Is this cable suitable for satellite TV or Sky Q?
This cable is designed for standard terrestrial TV (Freeview) and cable TV RF signals. For satellite connections (like Sky Q or satellite dishes), you typically require specific satellite coaxial cables (RG6 type) which may have different connector types or impedance ratings.
What does '75 Ohm' mean?
75 Ohm refers to the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable, which is the standard for TV and radio signal transmission in many regions.
How do I clean the connectors?
Gently wipe the gold-flashed connectors with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or liquids, as this could damage the gold plating.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure can degrade the cable material and connectors, leading to poor performance and potential failure.
What is the warranty period for this cable?
Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's specific warranty information for the Cables Direct 2TVREV-03K model, as warranty periods can vary.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor picture quality
Ensure all connections are secure. Check that the cable is properly seated in both the extension and the device. Verify the male-to-male coupler is tightly screwed on if used. Test the original cable without the extension to rule out a fault with the primary cable.
Cable does not fit the port
Confirm you are using the correct male/female connectors. This cable uses standard RF coaxial connectors; ensure your device port is also a standard RF coaxial type.
Visible damage to the cable
If the cable appears physically damaged (e.g., cut, frayed, bent excessively), discontinue use and replace the cable to avoid further signal loss or potential hazards.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the male and female RF coaxial connectors on your existing cable and the device you wish to connect (e.g., TV, set-top box, wall socket).
Connect the male end of the extension cable to the female port of your existing cable, or vice-versa.
Alternatively, if you need to connect two male RF cables, screw the provided male-to-male coupler onto one cable's male end, then connect the other cable's male end to the coupler.
Ensure all connections are snug but do not overtighten.
Compatibility:
This cable is designed for standard 75 Ohm RF coaxial connections, commonly used for TV aerials, Freeview boxes, Virgin Media, and other similar signal inputs.
Ensure the connectors on your existing equipment are compatible with standard RF coaxial plugs (typically requiring a male or female connection).
Care:
Keep the cable clean and free from dust and debris, especially the connectors.
Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, which can damage the internal wiring.
Store the cable in a dry place when not in use to prevent corrosion of the connectors.
