Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Pro Metal RF Right Angle Coax Cable is designed for users needing a reliable connection for Freeview or other video applications requiring an RF male plug, especially in confined spaces. Its key benefit is the right-angled connector, which minimizes strain and prevents damage in tight spots. A potential caveat is that the white cable color may not blend seamlessly with all home entertainment setups. This single coax cable features gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transfer and a robust metal construction.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the right-angled plug?

The right-angled plug is designed to fit into tight spaces behind TVs or equipment, reducing the amount of space needed and preventing the cable from being bent at an extreme angle, which could cause damage or signal loss.

Is this cable suitable for HD Freeview?

Yes, this cable is suitable for HD Freeview. The RG59 75 Ohm coaxial standard and gold-plated connectors ensure good signal integrity for digital television signals, including HD.

What does 'RG59 75 Ohm' mean?

RG59 is a type of coaxial cable often used for video signals. '75 Ohm' refers to its characteristic impedance, which is the standard for TV aerial and cable TV signals, ensuring compatibility with most broadcast equipment.

Can I use this cable for satellite TV (Sky/Virgin Media)?

This cable is primarily for terrestrial RF aerial connections (like Freeview). While some older Sky boxes use an RF input for distributing a signal to another TV, this cable is not suitable for the main satellite dish connection, which requires different types of coaxial cable and connectors (e.g., F-type).

How far does the right-angled plug protrude?

The right-angled plug protrudes approximately 19.5mm (about 0.77 inches) when connected to a device.

What is the benefit of gold-plated contacts?

Gold plating provides excellent electrical conductivity, leading to a cleaner signal with less loss. It also resists corrosion, ensuring a reliable connection over a longer period.

What maintenance is required for this cable?

Generally, minimal maintenance is needed. Keep the connectors clean and dry, and avoid sharp bends in the cable. Ensure connections remain secure.

Troubleshooting

No picture or poor signal quality

Ensure the RF plugs are fully inserted into both the TV/device and the wall socket/antenna. Check the cable for any visible damage. Try a different RF cable to rule out a faulty cable. Verify the correct input source is selected on your TV/device.

Cable doesn't fit snugly

Verify that you are using the correct RF male plug and that the device has a compatible RF male socket. Do not force the connection; inspect the plug and socket for obstructions or damage.

Right-angled connector feels loose

While the right-angled design is functional, ensure the internal connection is secure. Gently test the plug's seating. If it remains loose, there might be an issue with the connector housing or the device's socket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Space-saving right-angle design reduces strain and prevents damage.
  • Gold-plated connectors ensure excellent signal quality and longevity.
  • Robust metal construction provides durability.
  • Suitable for Freeview and other RF video applications.
  • Helps prevent accidental cable dislodging in tight installations.

Cons

  • White cable color may not match all decor.
  • The right-angled plug protrudes approximately 19.5mm, which might still be too large for extremely narrow gaps.
  • Primarily designed for RF connections; not suitable for HDMI or other digital formats.
  • May not be shielded to the highest standards for extremely sensitive interference environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your TV or video equipment has a male RF aerial input socket.
  2. Align the RF male plug of the cable with the corresponding socket on your device.
  3. Gently push the plug into the socket until it is firmly seated. The right-angled design allows you to position the cable immediately downwards or sideways, depending on the orientation of your device's port.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with all Freeview receivers, Sky boxes (for aerial input), DAB radio aerial inputs, and older analog TV tuners.
  • Requires a male RF aerial socket on the receiving device and typically connects to a wall socket or TV antenna.
  • The cable is RG59 75 Ohm, standard for TV aerial applications.

Care:

  • Avoid bending the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, to prevent internal wire damage.
  • Keep the gold-plated connectors clean and dry. If they become dusty, gently wipe them with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on the cable or connectors.
  • Regularly check connections for security and cleanliness.
