#Coaxial f connector series

Simple in operation and durable were the design goals. In addition to our new F-Connector, we also set about designing a reliable and strong RG6 F Connector Compression Tool.

Tested and Certified to TIA 568.4-D CATV RG6 150 feet (one connector at each end) with both dual shield and quad shield RG6 coaxial cable sold by trueCABLE.

Not waterproof, so outdoor installations are possible but measures for waterproofing must be taken.

Made from nickel plated brass for best signal performance.

Works with any compression (crimp) tool designed for RG6 F-Connectors.

Compression design, as recommended per the standards.

Universal fit from dual shield to quad shield coaxial RG-6 coax cable, assuming your coaxial cable falls between 6.80 - 7.54mm outer diameter.

Our RG6 Compression F Connector has the following qualities: They are not only designed to complete the two conductor circuit that is found in any coaxial cable, they are springs too. The petals inside this new style F-Connector “auto adjust” for different cable outside diameters. This also means you will need to break out a flaring tool in order to open up said outer jacket, potentially while cussing like a sailor while trying to force everything on. This means you have to jam a piece of metal between the cable outer jacket and first level braid shield. Traditional F-Connectors rely upon a sleeve system. Notice the circumferential “petals” in there? That’s why. Ok, so you may be asking why this universal F-Connector is able to succeed where many others have failed. For a great explanation as to how quad shield and dual shield RG-6 differ from each other see The Difference Between Dual Shield vs Quad Shield Coaxial Cable. The “DS” and “QS” you sometimes see tacked on the end refer to quad shielded coaxial and dual shielded coaxial cable, and will affect how thick the cable is. They are referring to RG-6 coaxial cable. These terms all essentially mean the same thing.

You will see Series 6 coaxial cable and associated connectors referred to as:

Therefore, we will continue to use it here, for simplicity if for no other reason. However, the acronym RG has continued to stick. In recent years, the term “RG” has been replaced in the ANSI/TIA 568.4-D and BICSI ITSIMM documentation to be “Series 6”.

Before we talk about the solution, let’s sort out some naming and clear up any confusion around acronyms. Why hasn’t anyone focused on creating a better F connector for coaxial cable to deal with this? At trueCABLE, we were wondering the same thing and set out to make this process as easy, effective, and painless as possible. In other words, one RG6 F Connector is NOT the same as another and there is often little documentation or help to sort things out. The question is, when you buy a coaxial cable and try to put an F connector on, how do you know it will fit right? Some will be way too tight (to the point of not being able to get one on at all) or too loose. There is a standard for how thick RG-6 coaxial cable can be, which is 7.54mm and set via ANSI/SCTE 74 2011. From flaring tools to help stretch out the cable jacket so the connector can actually slide on to the cable, to tools designed to allow high leverage so the process of pushing one on does not damage your hands…or cause you to exert so much energy that you give up on the idea. If you look around the market, you will see many accessories to make it easier to put on the average RG-6 connector. Legends about how difficult it is to terminate quad shield RG6 coaxial cable strike fear into the average person’s heart. You will hear quite the earful of “war stories”. Ask the average installer about punctured hands, poked fingers, and other maladies. Considering this technology has been around for decades, the process of putting on coaxial connectors should be simple. One would think that RG6 F-Connectors on coaxial cable would have been totally sorted out by now.
