FAQs

What type of connector does this cable use?

This cable uses standard RF male connectors, suitable for TV aerial inputs.

Is this cable suitable for satellite TV?

No, this cable is designed for terrestrial RF aerial signals (like Freeview) and is not compatible with satellite dish connections, which typically use F-type connectors.

What is the main advantage of the right-angled plugs?

The right-angled plugs are designed to fit into tight spaces behind TVs or entertainment units and help prevent damage to the ports by reducing strain and preventing accidental knocks.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 2 meters in length.

Will the gold-plated contacts improve my signal quality?

Gold-plated contacts help ensure a more stable and reliable connection, reducing the risk of signal degradation and interference, which can contribute to better picture quality.

Can I use this cable for any video device?

It can be used with any video device that has a standard RF male aerial input. This is most common for TVs and set-top boxes receiving terrestrial broadcast signals.

Troubleshooting

No signal or poor picture quality

Check that both RF male plugs are securely inserted into the TV/device and the aerial socket. Ensure the cable is not damaged and that the aerial source is functioning correctly. Try connecting the cable directly to the wall socket if using an extension.

Cable does not fit the port

Verify that your device has a standard RF male aerial input. This cable is not compatible with F-type connectors or other coaxial fittings.

Right-angled plug is still too large for the space

Measure the space available carefully. While right-angled, the plug still has a footprint of approximately 19.5mm; ensure this is accounted for. Consider alternative cable routing if possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving design due to right-angled connectors.
  • Enhanced signal integrity with gold-plated contacts.
  • Durable construction with metal moulded connectors.
  • Suitable for reliable Freeview reception.
  • Helps prevent cable strain and potential equipment damage.

Cons

  • Fixed 2-meter cable length may not suit all setups.
  • Right-angled plugs might obstruct adjacent ports on some devices.
  • Primarily for RF connections, not suitable for HDMI or other signal types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up, simply insert the right-angled RF male plug into the RF input port on your TV or video device, and connect the other right-angled RF male plug to your aerial wall socket or signal source. Ensure a firm connection at both ends.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with all devices featuring a standard RF male aerial input, commonly used for terrestrial television signals (like Freeview). It is not compatible with satellite dishes (which typically use F-type connectors) or other non-RF video inputs.

Care: Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. If cleaning is required, use a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent or kinked, especially near the connectors, to maintain signal integrity and cable longevity.
