Product Information

Full details

This Kenable coaxial cable is designed for users who need to connect a TV aerial to a satellite box or vice versa. Its primary benefit is superior signal quality due to its 75 Ohm 3C-2V Copper construction, ensuring a clear picture even over longer distances, unlike cheaper CCA alternatives. A potential caveat is that it uses distinct connector types (push-in RF for TV, screw-on F-type for satellite/splitters), requiring users to understand which end connects to which device.

FAQs

What is the main difference between the RF push-in and F-type connectors on this cable?

The RF push-in connector is a simple plug-and-play connection typically used for TV aerial inputs. The F-type connector is a screw-on type, providing a more secure connection, commonly used for satellite and cable TV connections.

Why is pure copper cable better than CCA?

Pure copper offers significantly better conductivity than copper-coated aluminum (CCA). This results in less signal loss, especially over longer distances, leading to a stronger and clearer signal for your TV or satellite receiver.

Can I use this cable for connecting my satellite box to the satellite dish?

This cable is designed to connect a terrestrial TV aerial to a satellite box, or vice versa. For connecting a satellite dish directly to a receiver, you typically need a specific satellite coaxial cable with F-type connectors on both ends.

What does '75 Ohm 3C-2V' mean?

75 Ohm refers to the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable, which is standard for video and broadcast signals. 3C-2V is a type designation for coaxial cable, indicating its construction and properties suitable for signal transmission.

Is this cable suitable for 4K or HD signals?

Yes, the high-quality pure copper construction ensures that it can carry high-definition and ultra-high-definition (4K) signals effectively, provided the source signal is compatible and there are no other signal integrity issues.

How long can this cable be before signal degradation becomes noticeable?

Due to its pure copper construction, noticeable signal degradation is minimized even over substantial lengths compared to CCA cables. For most domestic setups, signal quality should remain excellent.

Troubleshooting

No signal or poor picture quality

Ensure both the RF and F-type connectors are fully and securely inserted/screwed in. Check that the cable is not damaged or kinked. Verify that the correct input is selected on your TV or satellite box.

F-type connector won't screw on

Confirm that the connector is indeed an F-type port and that the cable's F-type connector is aligned correctly before attempting to screw it on. Do not force the connection.

Cable seems too stiff

This is normal for pure copper coaxial cables, which are designed for signal integrity. Gently route the cable along its intended path, avoiding sharp bends.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior signal transmission due to pure copper construction.
  • Reduces signal loss, ensuring a better viewing experience.
  • Robust and durable build quality.
  • Clearly defined connector types for specific device compatibility.
  • Aesthetically pleasing white finish.

Cons

  • Requires understanding of RF push-in vs. F-type screw connectors.
  • May not be compatible with older devices requiring only one connector type.
  • Slightly less flexible than thinner, CCA cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the RF push-in connector (typically the smaller, simpler plug) and connect it to your TV's aerial input.
  2. Identify the F Type screw-on connector (the larger, threaded plug) and screw it onto the corresponding F-type port on your satellite box, splitter, or Virgin Media box.
  3. Ensure both connections are secure but do not overtighten.

Compatibility:

  • TV End: Designed for RF push-in aerial sockets (common on many modern TVs).
  • Satellite/Splitter End: Designed for F-type screw-on connectors (standard on Sky, Freesat, Virgin Media boxes, and distribution amplifiers).
  • Cable Type: 75 Ohm coaxial cable is standard for both aerial and satellite distribution.

Care:

  • Avoid kinking or sharply bending the cable, as this can damage the internal copper conductor.
  • Keep connectors clean and free from dust; use a dry cloth if necessary.
  • Protect the cable from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
