FAQs
What is a coaxial TV lead used for?
A coaxial TV lead is used to connect devices with coaxial ports, typically for transmitting TV aerial signals to your television or video equipment.
What is the difference between a plug and a socket on this lead?
This lead has a male plug on one end, which inserts into a female socket on your device, and a female socket on the other end, which accepts a male plug from your antenna or another device.
Is this lead suitable for satellite or cable TV?
While it uses standard coaxial connectors, it's primarily designed for terrestrial TV signals. For satellite or cable TV, ensure your equipment uses standard coaxial connections, but specialized cables might offer better shielding for those services.
What are the dimensions of the lead?
The product dimensions are approximately 130mm in length, 45mm in width, and 20mm in depth. The packaged dimensions are 230mm x 115mm x 20mm.
How do I know if my TV has a coaxial socket?
Look for a round port, usually on the back of your TV, often labelled 'Antenna In', 'RF In', or 'Coaxial'. It will typically have a pin in the center.
Can I use this lead for any length of cable run?
This product is the lead itself, not a cable roll. Its length is not specified, but it's intended for connecting devices that are relatively close to each other.
Troubleshooting
No signal or poor picture quality
Ensure both ends of the coaxial lead are securely connected. Check that the cable is not damaged. Verify that the correct input source is selected on your TV or device. Test with a different coaxial lead if possible.
Loose connection
Gently push the coaxial plug further into the socket. If it still feels loose, the connector or socket on the device may be worn or damaged.
Cable is physically damaged
If the cable is visibly frayed, cut, or has damaged connectors, it should be replaced immediately to ensure safe and effective operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the coaxial TV lead, simply connect the male coaxial plug end to the corresponding female coaxial socket on your TV, set-top box, or video equipment. Ensure a firm, secure connection.
Compatibility: This lead is compatible with any device featuring standard coaxial aerial or antenna input/output sockets. This includes most televisions, PVRs (Personal Video Recorders), VCRs, and satellite or cable set-top boxes.
Care: To care for your coaxial TV lead, avoid sharp bends or kinks, which can damage the internal wiring. Keep the connectors clean and free from dust. Wipe the cable with a dry or slightly damp cloth if it becomes dirty; avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. Store the lead neatly when not in use to prevent damage.
