Product Information
Full details
This Pro Signal PS11470 coax coupler is designed for users needing to connect two male coaxial TV plugs, extending cable length or joining two existing cables. Its primary benefit is providing a simple, direct connection to maintain signal integrity. A potential caveat is its specific use case; it's not a signal booster or splitter. Key features include a straight adapter body style for a clean, unobtrusive connection and robust construction for reliable signal transfer between coaxial inputs.

FAQs
What type of connectors does this coupler use?
This coupler is designed to connect two standard male TV coaxial plugs, effectively acting as a female-to-female coupler for these specific plug types.
Can I use this to connect an aerial to a TV?
Yes, if both your aerial cable and the TV's input are standard coaxial plugs, you can use this coupler to extend the aerial cable's reach.
Does this coupler amplify the TV signal?
No, the Pro Signal PS11470 is a passive coupler. It connects two cables but does not amplify or boost the signal strength.
How do I clean the coupler?
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the connector ends. Avoid using any liquids or abrasive cleaners.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the retailer or Pro Signal's official website for specific warranty information, as it may vary.
Can I use this coupler for satellite dish cables?
While it connects coaxial plugs, ensure the connector size and impedance match satellite cable requirements, as they can sometimes differ from standard TV coaxial connections. It is primarily designed for terrestrial TV coaxial signals.
Troubleshooting
No signal after connecting cables
Ensure both coaxial cables are securely connected to the coupler and that the cables themselves are functioning correctly. Test each cable individually with a known working connection. Check that the coupler is fully seated on both plugs.
Intermittent signal or poor picture quality
Verify that the coaxial plugs are fully screwed into the coupler and that there is no damage to the connector pins or the cable shielding. Ensure the coupler itself is not damaged. Try replacing one of the coaxial cables to rule out a cable fault.
Coupler does not fit a coaxial plug
Confirm that you are attempting to connect standard TV coaxial plugs. This coupler is designed for specific coaxial connector types; ensure compatibility before attempting to force a connection.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extends the length of existing coaxial cables easily.
- Maintains signal integrity for clear audio/video.
- Simple plug-and-play setup.
- Durable and reliable construction.
- Straight body style for neat installations.
Cons
- Only connects two male coaxial plugs; not suitable for other connector types.
- Does not amplify or boost the signal.
- Limited functionality beyond simple coupling.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Pro Signal PS11470 is designed for straightforward use. Ensure both coaxial cables you intend to connect are powered off or disconnected from devices. Simply screw the male end of one coaxial cable into one side of the coupler, and the male end of the other coaxial cable into the other side. The coupler will then act as a bridge between the two.
Compatibility: This coupler is compatible with standard TV coaxial plugs (often referred to as F-type connectors, though this coupler acts as a socket for male plugs). It is designed to connect two male coaxial plugs together.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the connector ends clean and free of dust or debris. Periodically inspect the coupler and connected cables for any signs of damage. Store in a dry environment when not in use.
