FAQs
What type of signal does this cable support?
This cable supports standard RF coaxial signals, typically used for TV aerials, satellite reception, and Freeview.
What is the purpose of the male-to-male coupler?
The male-to-male coupler allows you to connect two male RF coaxial cables together, or it can be used to adapt the female end of the extension lead to accept a male cable.
Can I use this cable for internet connections?
No, this cable is specifically designed for RF coaxial signals for TV and video. It is not suitable for broadband internet connections which use different cable types.
Are the connectors gold-plated?
Yes, all contacts are gold-flashed for a high-quality finish and anti-corrosive properties.
Does this cable come in different lengths?
Yes, the kenable RF Extension lead is available in various lengths and colours to suit different needs.
How do I clean the connectors?
Gently wipe the connectors with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
No signal after connecting the extension
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected. Check if the included coupler is used correctly. Verify that the original cable works without the extension. Try connecting directly to the TV to rule out other issues.
Flickering or poor picture quality
Check for loose connections. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked. If the extension is a significant length, consider if signal degradation is occurring; try a shorter extension or a signal booster if necessary.
Connector won't fit
Confirm you are using an RF coaxial connector. This cable uses a specific RF male/female connector and is not compatible with F-type or other aerial/satellite connectors without an adapter.
