FAQs
What is the main advantage of the right-angled plug?
The right-angled plug is designed to fit into tight spaces, such as behind wall-mounted TVs or entertainment units, reducing the cable's protrusion and preventing accidental damage or strain on the connection.
Is this cable suitable for 4K or Ultra HD signals?
This cable uses RG59 specification, which is generally suitable for standard Freeview and digital TV signals. For higher bandwidth applications like advanced 4K streaming or professional video, a cable with a different specification might be more appropriate.
What does 'RG59 75 Ohm' mean?
RG59 is a type of coaxial cable construction, and 75 Ohm refers to its characteristic impedance. This is the standard impedance for television signals, ensuring efficient signal transfer for applications like Freeview.
How do I connect this cable?
Simply plug the RF male end into the corresponding RF female input on your TV, set-top box, or other video device, and connect the other end to your aerial.
Are the gold-plated contacts just for show?
No, gold plating provides excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, ensuring a more stable and durable signal connection over time compared to unplated connectors.
Can I use this cable for satellite TV?
No, this cable has an RF male plug suitable for terrestrial TV aerial connections. Satellite TV typically uses F-type connectors.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor picture quality
Check that both ends of the cable are securely connected. Ensure the right-angled plug is fully inserted into the device. Verify the aerial is properly positioned and connected to the other end of the cable. Test with a different known-good cable if possible.
Cable does not fit the port
Confirm that your device has a standard RF male input port. This cable is not compatible with F-type satellite connectors or other variants. Ensure you are not trying to connect to an RF output port if your device has one.
Right-angled plug feels loose
Gently try to re-seat the plug, ensuring it is aligned correctly before pushing firmly. If the port on the device is worn, this may cause a loose connection, which could be improved with a different cable or by addressing the device's port.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Space-saving right-angle design is perfect for tight installations.
Gold-plated contacts promote excellent signal quality and durability.
Robust metal construction of the plugs adds to its longevity.
Reduces strain on cable and ports, preventing damage.
Simple plug-and-play functionality for easy setup.
Cons
RG59 cable may have limitations for very high bandwidth or professional A/V setups.
The right-angled plug adds a slight protrusion (approx. 19.5mm) which might still be an issue in extremely confined spaces.
Primarily designed for RF signals; not suitable for other connector types.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the device you are connecting (e.g., TV, VCR, Freeview box) has an RF male input port.
Align the RF male plug of the cable with the corresponding port on your device.
Push the plug firmly into the port until it is securely seated.
Connect the other end of the cable to your aerial or signal source.
Compatibility:
Compatible with devices featuring standard RF male aerial sockets (e.g., Freeview boxes, digital TVs, VCRs, DVD players).
Suitable for standard aerial signal distribution.
Not compatible with satellite (F-type) or other non-RF connector types.
Care:
Keep connectors clean and free from dust.
Avoid excessive bending or kinking of the cable.
Gently pull the plug when disconnecting, rather than pulling the cable itself.
