Terminate Cat6A or Cat8 shielded cable Cat6A/7 shielded plug, or Cat8 field-terminable plug with snap-in or screw boot
RG6 drops, CATV and satellite RG6 F compression connector with a compression tool; push-on where no tool is on the truck
Join two F cables in a wall plate or splice F81 coupler, 3 GHz for satellite, 1 GHz for CATV
Tight box behind a TV 90 degree F adapter
Cap unused splitter ports 75 ohm terminator, high return loss
Keep MoCA inside the home MoCA PoE filter at the point of entry

Jacks and plates: keystone jacks, wall plates. Cable: Cat6 and Cat6A bulk, RG6 coax. Splitters and amplifiers: coax splitters. Guide: PoE and why bare copper matters.

Coax Connectors & Adapters FAQ

1. What’s included in the Connectors collection?

The line-up covers F-type couplers, compression and push-on RG6 connectors, 90° adapters, RCA-F adapters, high-return-loss terminators and F-splice barrels—everything you need to patch, extend or retrofit coax drops.

2. What is an F-type connector, and why 75 Ω?

F-type uses the cable’s solid center conductor as its own pin, making a low-cost, low-loss joint that matches the 75 Ω impedance of RG6/RG59 video cable for minimal reflections.

3. Compression vs push-on vs twist-on—what’s best?

Compression connectors install fastest, deliver the highest pull-out force, and seal out moisture better than crimp, solder, or twist-on styles—ideal for outdoor runs or critical RF links.

4. What return-loss spec do your high-frequency F-splice barrels meet?

Our 4 GHz barrels hold >30 dB return loss through 1 GHz and remain >18 dB out to 3 GHz—well inside SCTE limits for DOCSIS 3.1 and satellite.

5. How much insertion loss should I expect?

Precision F-couplers add <0.5 dB from DC–3 GHz, so a pair won’t noticeably affect signal-level budgets.

6. Are the connectors satellite & DOCSIS 3.1 ready?

Yes—rated to 3–4 GHz bandwidth with 75 Ω impedance and low VSWR, they exceed requirements for Ku-band dish feeds and 1218 MHz DOCSIS 3.1 modems.

7. Do I need special tools for compression fittings?

You’ll need a coax prep tool to strip back the jacket and dielectric plus a universal compression tool; the job takes about 60 seconds on RG6.

8. Will these connectors fit both RG59 and RG6?

Yes—our bodies accept 0.275–0.320″ OD; the compression sleeve self-centers on RG59, RG6, and quad-shield RG6Q.

9. How do push-on connectors stay put?

A spring-finger shell bites onto the F threads, giving roughly 15 lb retention—fine for set-top boxes, but use compression outdoors or in vibrating racks.

10. What material and plating are used?

Precision-machined brass bodies with nickel plating resist corrosion; a seize-free thread coating prevents galling.

11. Do right-angle adapters degrade signal?

Our 90° F-adapters add <0.5 dB loss to 3 GHz—negligible for TV or broadband—while solving tight-clearance installs.

12. How weather-tight are these connectors?

Compression bodies include dual O-rings that pass ASTM D1149 UV-aging and withstand 30″ Hg water-vacuum tests—no extra boots required.

13. Can I reuse a compression connector?

No—once the ferrule is crimp-compressed it’s permanent. For field swaps, keep a few spare bags in your kit.

14. What tools verify VSWR after install?

A handheld CATV meter or 3 GHz VNA checks return loss; aim for >25 dB at the band of interest for a perfect run.

15. Do right-angle adapters pass power for amplified antennas?

Yes—DC continuity is <4 mΩ end-to-end, so 5–24 V mast-head amp feeds pass without extra loss.

16. Are bulk packs available?

Absolutely—bags of 50 pcs and cartons of 100 pcs keep installer cost under 30 ¢ per termination.

17. How do I prep cable to avoid stray braid whiskers?

Use a 2-level strip tool (¼″ × ¼″), then fold the braid back evenly; whiskers inside the ferrule are the #1 cause of return-loss fails.

18. Are the parts RoHS & REACH compliant?

Yes—materials contain <0.1 % Pb, Cd, Hg and meet EU 2015/863; declarations ship with every PO.

19. Warranty & support?

Lifetime workmanship warranty plus a 30-day money-back guarantee—our tech team answers install questions within one business day.
