This Cables Direct 2TVREV-05 RF Extension Cable is designed for users needing to extend their existing TV or Freeview coaxial antenna connection. Its primary benefit is the simple plug-and-play extension capability, saving the need for re-routing cables. A minor consideration is that it specifically uses male-to-female RF connectors and includes a male-to-male coupler for versatile connection options. Key features include its 5-meter length, gold-flashed contacts for optimal signal quality, and a white finish to blend with home decor.

This cable uses standard RF coaxial connectors. It has a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other, and includes a male-to-male coupler.
This cable is designed for terrestrial TV and Freeview signals. For satellite TV, which typically uses F-type connectors, a different type of coaxial cable may be required.
If your digital radio antenna uses a standard RF coaxial connection (75 Ohm), then yes, this cable should be compatible.
The cable length is 5 meters.
Gold-flashed contacts offer superior conductivity for a cleaner signal and are more resistant to corrosion than standard metal contacts, ensuring a more reliable connection over time.
The coupler allows you to connect two cables that both have male RF connectors, effectively extending the reach further or adapting different cable types if needed.
While technically possible, cutting and re-terminating coaxial cable requires specific tools and knowledge to ensure a proper connection and maintain signal integrity. It is generally recommended to use the cable as-is or purchase a cable of the desired length.
Ensure all connections are secure and fully plugged in. Check that the cable is not damaged or kinked. Verify that the gold-flashed contacts are clean. Test with a shorter cable or direct connection to rule out the extension cable as the cause.
Confirm that you are trying to connect standard RF coaxial connectors. This cable is not designed for F-type connectors or other proprietary connections. Ensure you are using the correct male/female end for your setup.
Make sure both male connectors being joined are clean and undamaged. Ensure they are fully inserted into the coupler.
