Product Information

Full details

This kenable 005283 coaxial cable is designed for users seeking a reliable connection for Freeview HD digital TV or older RF-style equipment. Its key benefit is the shielded, full copper RG6/U cable with gold-plated connectors, ensuring a high-quality signal with minimal interference. A potential caveat is that it uses RG59/U cable type, which is thinner than RG6, though still offers good performance for its intended use.

FAQs

What is the difference between RG59/U and RG6/U cable?

RG6/U cable typically has a thicker conductor and better shielding, offering superior performance for longer runs and higher frequencies. RG59/U, used in this cable, is thinner but still suitable for many applications like Freeview HD over shorter distances.

Can I use this cable for satellite TV?

This cable is primarily designed for terrestrial TV aerial signals (like Freeview) and older RF connections. For satellite TV, specific LNB cables (often RG6/U with F-connectors) are generally required.

Are the connectors standard size?

Yes, the cable features standard male RF push-type connectors, common on many TV and older video equipment.

How do I clean the connectors?

Use a dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the gold-plated connectors. Avoid using liquids or abrasive materials.

What is the impedance of this cable?

The cable has a standard impedance of 75 Ohms, which is appropriate for TV aerial and RF signal transmission.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

While the cable is shielded, it is generally intended for indoor use. Prolonged exposure to outdoor elements may degrade the cable and connectors over time.

Troubleshooting

No signal or poor picture quality

Ensure both RF connectors are securely plugged into the devices. Check that the cable is not damaged. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your TV or set-top box. Try connecting directly without any splitters if applicable.

Interference or 'snow' on screen

The shielding on this cable is designed to minimize interference. Ensure the cable is not routed near other high-power electrical devices. Check for damage to the cable or connectors.

Loose connection

Gently push the RF connectors further into their ports. If the connection remains loose, the port on the device or the connector on the cable may be worn.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Shielded cable reduces interference for better signal quality.
  • Full copper construction ensures durability and optimal signal transfer.
  • Gold-plated connectors provide a secure and long-lasting connection.
  • Suitable for both modern Freeview HD and older RF equipment.
  • 2-meter length offers flexibility in setup.

Cons

  • Uses RG59/U cable type which is thinner than RG6, potentially limiting signal range compared to thicker cables.
  • Limited to RF male connectors, requiring specific compatibility on both ends.
  • Color is black, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Simply connect the two male RF push-type connectors to the corresponding RF input and output ports on your devices. Ensure a firm connection.

Compatibility: This cable is compatible with any devices featuring standard RF coaxial connections (male push-type). It is suitable for Freeview HD, Sky, Virgin Media units with RF outputs, and older DVD players or VCRs. Ensure your devices have male RF ports for connection.

Care: Keep the cable and connectors clean and dry. Avoid kinking or excessively bending the cable, as this can damage the internal conductors. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
