Gold plated connectors for anti corrosion properties, especially important where the cable would be left attached to equipment over a long period of time, The plugs are the most expensive to buy out of all three of the F plug types and like crimp on F plugs cannot be used again. Once installed however what makes them so good is that no matter how hard you try there is a good chance that you will never be able to pull that plug away from the cable,which even the best terminated screw on or crimp on F plug will. In fact you’re more likely to cause damage to the coax cable itself by pulling so hard. One of the most common questions our Techs get asked about is which connector or lead they need to use to connect their Antenna to their television. It may seem like a simple question to those familiar with the process, but sometimes it’s those simple things that can confuse us. Today we wanted to give you an explanation of the parts required to complete the job.
The Male connector has a centre pin and the Female connector has a receptacle instead of a centre pin. The BNC plug is a plug that inserts in position and then twists to remain in place. BNC stands for Bayonette Neil Consellman after the man who designed the plug and is commonly used for analogue CCTV systems. They come in many types but the most common type is a crimp on connection. The F plug came from the USA and is most commonly used for satellite dish connections at both the satellite LNB and the satellite receiver itself. The F plug has a threaded connection that allows the plug to be screwed in securely and not fall out of position which can be common with over types of coax plugs. F plugs are also now very common for TV aerial and communal TV systems for connections at aerials, splitters, amplifiers and for joining coax cable. With a snap-on design made for fast attachment and removal, QMA connectors are robust, vibration-resistant, and suitable for use outdoors.

A co-ax plug is the kind you’d expect to find on the end of the wire that comes from your TV aerial.

Looking for a solution to bring your entertainment system to life? Browse our range of TV aerialcables. From TV aerial connectors that offer quality picture and sound to coaxial cables, we offer a great range of cables. Traditional coaxial cable that people are most familiar with is 1mm centre conductor coaxial cable, but another common cable size used especially for Sky installations that often connect with a “shotgun” cable has a 0.65mm centre conductor and you need to make sure that you have the correct sized plug for this cable type which is slimmer. Like normal coaxial cable sizes F plugs for this cable size can be obtained in screw on, crimp on and compression types. The 0.65mm screw on plugs usually but not always also have a few rings on the body so these can be easily found when in a mixture of coax plugs. A TV aerial is a passport to enjoying the latest shows. To ensure you can always catch up on every must-watch series, your aerial needs to be connected to your TV using a coaxial connector, which carries video and data signals from the aerial to your television.

There are a range of weatherproof F compression connectors that are perfect for outside terminations like at the satellite dish LNB. These have an internal rubber O ring that acts as seal. The plugs I recommend for this purpose are the Cablecon Compression F connectors which are rated to IPX8, which means that the plug can be submerged in water deeper than 1 metre. Personally when I used this, which I only typically do on communal satellite dish installations I would also smear some silicone grease on the outside of the plug to keep this part of the plug free from corrosion and/or use self-amalgamating tape on any outside F joins. As with all F plugs, but especially the weatherproof types.It’s important that the connections are done up tight. This should be finger tightened as much as possible and then an extra quarter turn or so that the plug can not be untwisted with your hand. This is to maintain the integrity of the screen, prevent and RF leakage and water ingress. A 11mm spanner is perfect for this task but long nose pliers are also suitable. Installing an antenna is not always straight forward, so if you’re not certain that you like the idea of getting up on your roof consider using a qualified installer to do it for you. Subminiature Version B connectors (SMB) are easy to use with telecoms equipment and are handy in areas where space is limited thanks to a miniature design.
