F Connectors

F connectors play a critical role in the telecommunications and broadcast industries, connecting coaxial cables to a variety of devices. They serve key functions in cable television (CATV) and satellite TV setups, linking cables to TVs, set-top boxes, and satellite receivers, as well as in closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems for video surveillance by connecting cameras to recording equipment or monitors. They are also vital for networking equipment like cable modems and routers, facilitating data transmission over coaxial cables.

In residential environments, F connectors typically attach coaxial cables to wall outlets, enabling TV signal, internet access, and other communication service delivery. Their suitability for RF applications is notable, particularly for high-frequency signal transmission with robust shielding, such as when connecting coaxial cables to antennas for over-the-air television broadcasts or radio signals.
