Connectors | RG6 adapters | RG6 Coax connectors

The Coax Adapter is a device which allows you to connect Coax cable and Coax connectors of different types into one Coax connection. Coax adapters are available in various sizes. For example, if the Coax connectors on the Coax cables are smaller than the size required by an equipment or apparatus then you can use a Coax adapter to make it fit in place. Coax adapters also help create new connections between Coax cable and Coax connectors because there may be situations where you need to change your existing connector with another type for connecting more quickly without removing other components.

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.
