What is a F Type RF Connector
Summary
F type rf connectors are mainly used for TV antennas for digital terrestrial broadcasting and satellite broadcasting reception. Some types use the coaxial core wire (center conductor) as a contact. There is also an F (C15) type that rf conforms to the technical standards of the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association. It can be mated with the normal F.

- MIL Standard
Compliant with US military standards for cables. Begins with the initials "RG" and is also called Mil-Spec.
F Type RF Connector Features
Easy Installation
F connectors use the center conductor of the cable as the center contact and are available in a ring type for easy installation with pliers or other tools. The F connector can be easily mounted without special mounting tools. However, the caulking ring type is easier to pull out than the type that uses the center contact.
F Type RF Connectors Applications
Television equipment for home terrestrial digital broadcasting, cable TV, satellite broadcasting, etc.

F Type RF Connector FAQ
QDo I need a special tool for installation?
QDo I need a special tool for installation?
We have a connector that uses the center conductor of a coaxial cable as the center pin and can be easily installed with a pair of pliers to attach the ring for crimping.
QWhat are the main applications for these connectors?
QWhat are the main applications for these connectors?
Generally, connectors connect TV sets and antennas for receiving terrestrial, cable, and satellite broadcasts.
QWhat is F (C15)?
QWhat is F (C15)?
This connector conforms to the technical standards of the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA) for use in receiving satellite broadcasts. Since it uses a higher frequency band than conventional terrestrial broadcasting, it performs better to match the frequency band.
