RF - Push-in style connection usually required for TV s F Type - Screw on style connection usually found on Splitters or Satellite/Virgin boxes We supply a full range of lengths from 0.5m (50cm) all the way up to 20m in length. These cables are made from Copper 75Ohm coaxial cable unlike cheaper versions on the market which use copper coated aluminium (CCA). Copper cables provide a better signal at longer lengths ensuring you receive the best quality possible. TV to F connector 75 Ohm 3C-2V Copper White.
This Kenable Coaxial F Type to RF TV Aerial Plug Cable is designed for users needing to connect TV aerials to satellite boxes or vice versa. Its key benefit is superior signal quality over longer distances due to its pure copper construction, unlike cheaper alternatives. A potential caveat is that it uses specific connector types, so ensure compatibility with your devices.

FAQs
What is the difference between F Type and RF connectors?
The F Type connector is a screw-on type commonly used for satellite and cable TV connections, offering a secure connection. The RF (Radio Frequency) connector, also known as a Belling-Lee connector, is a push-in style typically found on terrestrial TV aerial inputs.
Is this cable suitable for Freeview or Sky TV?
This cable is suitable for connecting an aerial to a Freeview box or a satellite dish to a Sky receiver (or vice versa), provided your devices use the specified F Type and RF push-in connectors.
Why is the copper construction important?
Pure copper provides better conductivity and signal integrity compared to copper-coated aluminum (CCA). This results in less signal loss, especially over longer cable runs, ensuring a clearer picture and sound.
What does '75 Ohm' mean?
75 Ohm refers to the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable. This is the standard impedance for video and broadcast signals, ensuring efficient signal transfer and minimizing reflections.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This cable is intended for indoor use. While the connectors offer some protection, the white sheath is not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to UV radiation or extreme weather conditions.
What lengths are available?
The cable is available in various lengths, typically starting from 0.5 meters (50cm) and going up to 20 meters.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor picture quality
Ensure both the F Type and RF connectors are securely fastened. Check that the cable is not damaged or kinked. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your TV or set-top box. Try a shorter, known-good cable to rule out issues with this specific cable.
F Type connector won't screw on
Confirm that the port is indeed an F Type connector and not another type. Ensure there is no damage to the threads on either the connector or the port. Do not force the connection.
RF connector is loose
Check for any damage to the center pin of the RF connector or the socket on the TV. Some older sockets may be worn; gentle pressure when inserting the connector can sometimes help, but avoid excessive force.
Pros and Cons
Pros
High-quality signal transmission due to pure copper.
Reliable performance even at longer cable lengths.
Standard F-Type and RF connectors for broad compatibility.
Available in a wide range of lengths.
Cons
Specific connector types may not fit all older equipment without adapters.
White color might show dirt more easily in some environments.
Not designed for outdoor or heavy-duty industrial use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Identify the correct ports on your devices. The F Type connector is typically threaded and screws onto the corresponding port found on most satellite receivers and some cable modems.
The RF (Push-in) connector is a straight pin that inserts directly into the aerial socket on most televisions.
Connect the F Type connector by screwing it firmly onto the device port.
Connect the RF connector by pushing it straight into the television's aerial input socket.
Compatibility:
This cable is designed for standard 75 Ohm coaxial connections.
It is compatible with most televisions, set-top boxes, satellite receivers, and aerial distribution amplifiers that utilize F Type screw-on and RF push-in connections.
Care:
Keep the connectors clean and free from dust or debris.
Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors.
Use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean the cable exterior if needed. Do not use harsh chemicals.
