This cable is most commonly used from aerial splitters to connect to additional TVs. The F type splitters provide a secure connection when using splitters/aerial distribution units as the lock onto the splitter. RG59 Coaxial Cable F Type Male (Twist on) Plug RF Male (Push Type) Plug Available in various lengths Cable Text: RG59/U Coaxial Cable 75Ohm Available in White or Black. From an F connector socket to a RF Male Plug. Usually used for connecting to a Eurovox or other device with an RF connection. 75 Ohms low loss cable.
This 1m white Kenable RG-59 coaxial cable connects devices with F-type male and RF male connectors. It's ideal for extending connections from aerial splitters to secondary TVs or for linking specific devices like Eurovox set-top boxes. The F-type connectors provide a secure, locking connection, but users should ensure their equipment has compatible F-type and RF ports for optimal performance.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the main use for this cable?
This cable is typically used to connect from aerial splitters (with F-type outputs) to additional TVs or devices that have an RF input. It's also used to connect devices with F-type outputs to devices with RF inputs, such as certain set-top boxes.
What type of connectors does this cable have?
It has an F-type male connector on one end and an RF male connector on the other end.
What does '75 Ohm' mean?
75 Ohm is the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable, which is standard for video and RF signals. It ensures optimal signal transfer and minimizes reflections for clear audio and video.
Can this cable be used for satellite TV?
While it is a coaxial cable, it is specifically designed for F-type to RF connections, common in terrestrial aerial setups or older AV systems. For satellite, you would typically use a cable with two F-type connectors.
How secure is the F-type connection?
The F-type connector is a screw-on type, providing a more secure and stable connection than push-on connectors, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection.
What is the difference between F-type and RF connectors?
F-type connectors are screw-on and commonly used for cable TV, satellite, and broadband internet. RF connectors (often referred to as 'coaxial' or 'TV aerial' connectors) are typically push-on or screw-on and used for terrestrial TV aerials and older AV equipment.
Can I use this cable for longer distances?
This cable is 1 meter long, which is suitable for short connections. For significantly longer runs, signal degradation may occur, and a thicker gauge cable or signal booster might be necessary depending on the application.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor picture quality
Ensure both F-type and RF connectors are fully and securely attached. Check that the cable is not damaged. Verify that the source device (e.g., aerial splitter) is functioning correctly and that the TV or receiver is tuned to the correct input.
Cable does not fit
Confirm that the ports on your devices are indeed F-type female and RF female. This cable has male F-type and male RF connectors.
Loose connection
The F-type connector should screw on securely. If it feels loose, check the threads on both the cable and the port for damage or debris. The RF connector should push on firmly; ensure the port is not obstructed.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Secure connection with F-type twist-on connectors.
Low loss 75 Ohm coaxial cable for clear signal transmission.
Versatile for connecting aerial splitters to additional TVs.
Standard RG59 cable suitable for audio/video.
Convenient 1m length for short runs.
Cons
Limited to 1-meter length, may not be suitable for long distances.
Requires specific F-type and RF male ports on devices.
White colour might not match all decor.
Not suitable for high-bandwidth digital signals beyond standard TV/RF.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the F-type male port on your source device (e.g., aerial splitter) and the RF male port on your destination device (e.g., TV, set-top box).
Screw the F-type connector onto its corresponding port until snug. Do not overtighten.
Push the RF connector onto its corresponding port. It should click into place.
Compatibility:
Connector 1: Requires an F-type female socket.
Connector 2: Requires an RF female socket.
Impedance: Designed for 75 Ohm systems, common for TV aerial and satellite distribution.
Care:
Keep the connectors clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry, soft cloth if necessary.
Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors and shielding.
Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive tension or physical stress.
