Questions

What is an F Connector?

The F plug is a type of Radio Frequency (RF) connector commonly used for cable television, satellite television, cable modems and often in high quality TV signal distribution systems. It can also be used for regular terrestrial television connections, although it is more common to use ordinary TV aerial coax connectors.

Normally the F connector is used to terminate RG-6 coaxial cable or (in older installations) with RG-59 cable. It is also used with high quality CT100 and CT125 coaxial cable, which provides better suppression of radio frequency interference due to extra shielding.

The F connector was invented by Eric Winston in the early 1950's while working for Jerrold Electronics on their development of cable television.
