Description
The F-type connector is the industry standard for terrestrial, cable, and satellite television distribution. This male (plug) variant is specifically optimized for the 5mm (0.195″) cable class, allowing for the use of high-performance cables like RG58, heat-resistant RG142, and low-loss LMR195/LMR200. While F-connectors are natively 75-Ohm, this specialized version allows engineers to utilize superior shielding and low-attenuation cables in broadband distribution, cellular signal booster installations, and specialized video monitoring systems.
This connector utilizes a professional dual-crimp termination system. Because 50-Ohm cables in this class often have stranded or thin center conductors, this connector features an integrated gold-plated center pin. This pin ensures a precise fit within standard F-female ports, providing better electrical contact than the cable’s own conductor could. The outer ferrule creates a 360-degree mechanical bond with the cable’s outer jacket and braid, offering exceptional pull-off resistance and protecting signal integrity from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Key Technical Advantages
-
5mm Cable Precision Match: Specifically calibrated for the dimensions of RG58 and LMR195-sized cables, ensuring an optimized electrical path and preventing mechanical stress on the cable dielectric.
-
Integrated Center Pin: Features a precision-machined, gold-plated internal pin to ensure reliable mating with standard F-female jacks, regardless of the cable’s internal conductor type.
