Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Strip the outer jacket of your coaxial cable to expose the center conductor and dielectric, following the cable manufacturer's instructions. A cable stripper tool is recommended.
  2. Insertion: Twist the F-connector onto the prepared coaxial cable. Ensure the center conductor protrudes slightly from the end.
  3. Connection: Screw the F-connector into the corresponding port on your device (e.g., Sky box).
  4. Weatherproofing: If used outdoors, ensure the weatherproof boot is correctly positioned to seal the connection.

Compatibility: This connector is compatible with CT100U, RG59U, and RG6U coaxial cables, all with a diameter of 6-7mm. Check your cable type before installation. Ensure the device you are connecting to has an F-connector port.

Care: Regularly inspect the connectors for any signs of corrosion or damage. If used outdoors, check the weatherproof boot periodically to ensure it remains intact. Clean with a dry cloth; do not use harsh chemicals.
