Coaxial & F-Type Connectors

Coaxial connectors terminate coax cable for TV, satellite and CCTV work. This page has twist-on F-type plugs for RG58 and RG6 cable, a BNC plug and a BNC socket with twin modular terminals, a quick fit BNC plug, Belden BNC connectors for RG-6 video cable, a nickel plated brass precision coaxial plug and socket, a right-angle SMA adaptor for Axis sensor unit cables, a Comelit PAC coaxial cable connector and AMG Systems CAB antenna cables.

Choosing Coaxial & F-Type Connectors

Match the connector to the cable type and diameter first, then to how you want to terminate it.

F-type plugs

The 770.152UK and 770.150UK are twist-on F-type plugs. The 770.152UK is designed for RG6 and 100 type cables of 6.5mm to 7mm diameter and is made from zinc alloy, for cable television and satellite set-ups. The 770.150UK is for RG58 cable of 5mm diameter and is compatible with the 808.107UK, 808.109UK and 808.163UK dual satellite cables.

BNC connectors

The 777.015UK BNC plug and 777.016UK BNC socket have twin modular terminals for simple, solder-free connections in CCTV installations. The 767.705UK quick fit BNC plug is nickel plated with a gold plated contact, uses screw termination with a braid clamp and takes 6.5mm OD cables. The Belden 1694ABHD1 and 1694ABHD3 are BNC connectors for RG-6 cable, supporting up to 6GHz with gold-plated contacts. The 1694ABHD1 is a green single-piece connector, and the 1694ABHD3 is a 3-piece crimp connector.

Precision plugs, sockets and adaptors

The 765.539UK precision coaxial plug and 766.086UK precision coaxial socket are made from nickel plated brass. The Comelit PAC 43960 is a coaxial cable connector. The Axis 02470-021 right-angle SMA adaptor gives a 90° angle between an Axis sensor unit and its cable, so the cable does not need bending in tight spaces; it is outdoor-rated and sold in packs of 10.

Frequently asked questions

What is an F-type connector on coaxial cable?

An F-type connector is a threaded coaxial plug used for satellite, cable TV and aerial connections. The cable's own centre conductor forms the pin, so the connector mainly grips the outer jacket and braid. It screws onto a matching socket on a receiver, wall plate or dish LNB. The range here includes twist-on F-type plugs alongside BNC and precision coaxial connectors.

How do I match an F-type connector to coaxial cable?

Match the connector to the cable type and its outer diameter, because an F-type plug grips properly on the size it was made for. Satellite-grade RG6 is the usual choice for dish and TV work, while slimmer cables need a smaller plug. Check the cable diameter against the connector before fitting. The range here includes twist-on F-type plugs in two cable sizes.

How do I install an F-type coaxial connector?

Strip the outer jacket, fold the braid back over it and trim any stray strands. Then remove a short length of the inner insulation to expose the centre conductor without nicking it. Twist the F-type plug clockwise onto the cable until the inner insulation sits flush inside, leaving the conductor protruding slightly past the front. Finally, screw the plug onto the socket hand-tight.
