Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users needing reliable coaxial connections for their TV and aerial equipment. The Loops 2 Pack 4M Aerial Cables offer a high-quality, interference-free signal transmission thanks to their shielded design and OFC conductors, making them ideal for connecting devices like Freeview boxes to TVs, especially in tight spaces. A potential consideration is the fixed 4-meter length, which may not suit all installation requirements.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the right-angle connector?

The right-angle connector allows the cable to bend at a 90-degree angle, making it easier to connect devices in tight spaces, such as behind wall-mounted TVs or inside media cabinets, while reducing strain on the cable and port.

Are these cables suitable for satellite TV (Sky/Freesat)?

No, these are standard aerial (terrestrial TV) coaxial cables. Satellite connections typically require different types of coaxial cables, often with F-type connectors on both ends, and are designed for different signal frequencies.

What does 'fully screened (shielded)' mean for my signal?

It means the cable has an outer layer of conductive material designed to block external electromagnetic interference. This reduces noise and prevents signal degradation, leading to a clearer and more stable picture and sound.

What is OFC and why is it important?

OFC stands for Oxygen Free Copper. Using pure copper conductors without oxygen helps to improve signal conductivity and reduce signal loss over the length of the cable, resulting in better signal quality.

Can I use these cables outdoors?

While the PVC jacket offers durability, these cables are generally intended for indoor use. Prolonged outdoor exposure to sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures can degrade the materials over time.

How do I know if my device uses a standard coaxial connection?

Most terrestrial TV aerial inputs and inputs on Freeview boxes, PVRs, and older VCRs use a standard coaxial connector, which is typically a female socket that the male connector on this cable will plug into or screw onto.

Troubleshooting

No signal or poor picture quality

Ensure the cable is securely connected at both ends. Check if the aerial itself is properly positioned and receiving a signal. Try swapping the cable with another known working cable to rule out a cable fault. Verify the cable is connected to the correct 'Antenna In' port on the TV/receiver.

Cable connector does not fit

Verify the port on your device is a standard coaxial input. While most are, some specialized equipment may use different connectors. Ensure you are not trying to force a connector. The right-angle connector is designed for standard ports, but very tight housings might still present a challenge.

Interference or 'snow' on screen

The shielded design should minimize this. Ensure the cable is not damaged and the shielding is intact. Try repositioning the cable away from other electrical devices that might be causing interference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a clear, interference-free signal for better reception.
  • Right-angle connectors are ideal for installations with limited space.
  • Durable construction with strain relief for long-term use.
  • Comes as a pack of two, offering value and flexibility.
  • Uses Oxygen Free Copper for superior signal quality.

Cons

  • Fixed 4-meter length may be too long for some setups.
  • Right-angle connectors may not fit all device ports perfectly.
  • Only available in a pack of two, not suitable for single cable needs.
  • Not suitable for direct satellite connections (LNB).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the aerial input port on your TV or receiver (usually labeled 'Antenna In', 'RF In', or 'Coaxial').
  2. Identify the aerial output port on your source device (e.g., Freeview box, set-top box).
  3. Connect one end of the Loops aerial cable to the output port of your source device.
  4. Connect the other end of the cable to the aerial input port of your TV or receiver.
  5. Ensure both connections are secure by gently pushing the connector in until it feels snug. The screw-on collar, if present, can be tightened slightly for a more robust connection.

Compatibility:

These coaxial aerial cables are compatible with any standard TV, set-top box, aerial amplifier, or other terrestrial digital TV equipment that uses a standard coaxial RF connector (typically an F-type connector or a push-on Belling-Lee connector, depending on the specific device port).

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors and shielding.
  • Keep the cable away from sources of heat or moisture.
  • Periodically check the connectors for dust or debris and clean gently with a dry cloth if necessary.
  • The durable PVC jacket offers protection, but avoid exposing the cable to abrasive surfaces or sharp objects.
