Product Information

Full details

This Kenable RF TV cable is designed for users needing a reliable connection between their TV and aerial or set-top box. Its primary benefit is a high-quality signal transmission due to gold-flashed contacts and durable coax construction. A potential limitation is its 1.8-meter length, which might require extension solutions for some setups. Key features include male-to-male RF connectors, a supplied female-to-female coupler for flexible connections, and a robust 5mm diameter coax cable.

FAQs

What type of connectors does this cable have?

The cable has two male RF coaxial connectors. A female-to-female RF coaxial coupler is also included.

What is the length of the cable?

The cable length is 1.8 meters.

Are the connectors gold-plated?

Yes, the contacts on the connectors are gold-flashed for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Can I use this cable for both terrestrial and satellite TV?

This is an RF coaxial cable typically used for terrestrial TV aerials (like Freeview). It is not generally suitable for satellite dish connections, which usually require different connector types (like F-connectors) and cable specifications.

What is the diameter of the cable?

The cable has a diameter of 5mm.

How do I extend the cable if 1.8m is not long enough?

You can use the supplied female-to-female coupler to connect this cable to another male-to-male coaxial cable.

What kind of cable clips should I use?

The product information suggests using cable clips QS 04501, which are suitable for the 5mm diameter of this cable.

Troubleshooting

No signal or poor picture quality

Ensure both male connectors are screwed in securely. Check that the cable is not damaged or kinked. Verify that the correct input is selected on your TV/device. Try using the included coupler to connect to ensure it's not the primary connection point that is faulty. Test with a different coaxial cable if possible.

Cable seems too short

Utilize the provided female-to-female coupler to connect this cable with another male-to-male coaxial cable for an extended reach.

Connector won't screw in properly

Ensure you are using the correct port (male to female). Check for any debris or damage in the connectors. Do not force the connection; if it doesn't screw in smoothly, re-align and try again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality signal transmission due to gold-flashed contacts.
  • Versatile connection options with the included coupler.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting use.
  • Standard length suitable for most common setups.

Cons

  • The 1.8-meter length may be insufficient for larger rooms or complex setups.
  • Only one cable is provided, requiring purchase of additional units for multiple devices.
  • Specific cable clips (QS 04501) are recommended for secure installation, which are sold separately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the RF coaxial input port on your TV, set-top box, or other receiving device. This is typically a female connector.
  2. Identify the RF coaxial output port on your aerial or signal source. This is typically a male connector.
  3. Screw the male connector of the Kenable 006589 cable firmly into the aerial output port.
  4. Screw the other male connector of the cable firmly into the RF input port on your TV or device.
  5. If you need to extend the cable, connect the female-to-female coupler to one of the male ends of the cable, and then connect another male-to-male RF coaxial cable to the coupler.

Compatibility:

This cable uses standard RF coaxial connectors, making it compatible with most televisions, Freeview boxes, Sky boxes (for aerial input), digital converters, and other devices that utilize an RF aerial input.

Care:

  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors and shielding, leading to signal loss.
  • Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. If necessary, gently wipe with a dry, lint-free cloth.
  • For a secure installation, especially if the cable is routed along walls, consider using appropriate cable clips (e.g., cable clips QS 04501 are recommended for this cable's diameter).
  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent damage.
