FAQs
What does 'Right Angle' mean for this cable?
The 'Right Angle' refers to one of the RF plugs being bent at a 90-degree angle. This is useful for connecting devices in tight spaces, such as behind a wall-mounted TV or a TV cabinet, allowing the cable to lie flat against the surface and minimize protrusion.
What is the purpose of the gold-plated contacts?
Gold-plated contacts offer better conductivity and resistance to corrosion compared to standard metal contacts. This helps ensure a cleaner, more stable signal transmission, leading to better picture and sound quality, and provides increased durability.
Can I use this cable for satellite TV connections?
This cable uses standard RF coaxial connectors. While it can be used for some aerial distribution systems, it is generally not compatible with the F-type connectors typically used for satellite dishes (e.g., Sky, Freesat). Please check your satellite receiver's input type.
What is the function of the included RF coupler?
The included female-to-female RF coupler acts as an adapter. You can use it to connect two RF male cables together, effectively extending the reach of your aerial lead, or to change the gender of a connection point if needed.
How long is the cable?
The cable is 1 meter (approximately 3.3 feet) in length.
Will this cable fit behind a TV mounted very close to the wall?
Yes, the right-angle plug is specifically designed for such situations. It protrudes only about 1.2cm, allowing the TV to sit closer to the wall without stressing the cable or the port.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor picture quality
Check that both ends of the cable are securely connected. Ensure the right-angle plug is fully seated in the TV's port. Try using the included coupler to extend the cable or check the signal source itself.
Cable does not fit the port
Confirm that your device uses a standard RF coaxial input. This cable is not compatible with satellite F-connectors or other connector types.
Right-angle plug feels loose
Ensure the connector is fully inserted. If the port on your device is worn, the connection might be less secure. The coupler can also be used to adapt to a more stable connection if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your TV or video device has a standard RF coaxial input port (often labeled 'Antenna In' or 'RF In').
Connect the straight RF plug to your antenna or signal source.
Connect the right-angle RF plug to your TV or video device. The right-angle connector allows for a flush fit.
To extend the cable, connect the female-to-female RF coupler to the end of this cable and then connect your existing RF cable to the coupler.
Compatibility:
This cable is designed for RF coaxial connections typically used for aerials and older video equipment.
Verify your device has a female RF coaxial port.
It is suitable for Freeview, Sky, Virgin Media, and other aerial/video distribution systems that use this connector type.
Care:
Keep connectors clean. If necessary, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
Store the cable away from extreme temperatures and moisture when not in use.
Do not bend the cable sharply or apply excessive force to the connectors.
