Feel free to call and speak with our Selby Techs on 1800 69 2225 if you would like further information about antennas. Micro coaxial, or MCX connectors are suitable for use where there is limited space thanks to a compact design and easy attachment. Commonly used with Wi-Fi routers.
Traditional coaxial cable that people are most familiar with is 1mm centre conductor coaxial cable, but another common cable size used especially for Sky installations that often connect with a “shotgun” cable has a 0.65mm centre conductor and you need to make sure that you have the correct sized plug for this cable type which is slimmer. Like normal coaxial cable sizes F plugs for this cable size can be obtained in screw on, crimp on and compression types. The 0.65mm screw on plugs usually but not always also have a few rings on the body so these can be easily found when in a mixture of coax plugs. F-Plugs are most commonly associated with satellite TV or cable TV systems. They have a screw thread. Pictured below is a male plug on the left, and a female on the right. For cables and connectors, go to a maplin.co.uk or tvcables.co.uk. Need a connector or lead for your TV setup? We explain what the connectors do, and aim to point you in the right direction The Male connector has a centre pin and the Female connector has a receptacle instead of a centre pin.A TV aerial helps you enjoy your favourite movie without irritating interruptions. They banish interference and maximise your channel access. Get great reception with our outdoor TV aerials, designed to withstand the most adverse weather conditions. Some are also suitable for installation in your loft.
The most common reason that I use compression plugs is for the larger type coax cables that are only commonly used on communal TV systems to help reduce signal losses over long distances. You don’t want to be installing a screw on F plug on anything more than a conventional 1mm coax cable and crimp on F plugs can be really difficult to insert on the 165 coax cable and above so I just compression plugs of these as they are actually the easiest to install, providing that you have the correct equipment that is. You will want to be very careful as the plugs can be very expensive for the larger cables so you won’t want to mess many connections up.Delivering rapid connection and disconnection, Bayonet Neil-Concelman, or BNC, connectors have a smaller design and are made for use with radios, TV, and other AV equipment.

Installing an antenna is not always straight forward, so if you’re not certain that you like the idea of getting up on your roof consider using a qualified installer to do it for you. The F plug came from the USA and is most commonly used for satellite dish connections at both the satellite LNB and the satellite receiver itself. The F plug has a threaded connection that allows the plug to be screwed in securely and not fall out of position which can be common with over types of coax plugs. F plugs are also now very common for TV aerial and communal TV systems for connections at aerials, splitters, amplifiers and for joining coax cable. DIN, or Deutsches Institut für Normung, is the German Institute for Standardisation. 7/16 DIN are threaded connectors with a tough design made to withstand exposure to moisture. Three leads – red and white for stereo audio, and yellow for video. For connectors and adapters, go to a maplin.co.uk or tvcables.co.uk.This is the most common F plug size that people are familiar with and the most readily available. 1mm coax is still the most used cable,especially in domestic & residential installations. For very short cable runs shotgun cable with of a smaller cable and plug size is often preferred for Sky installations. As with all F plugs, but especially the weatherproof types.It’s important that the connections are done up tight. This should be finger tightened as much as possible and then an extra quarter turn or so that the plug can not be untwisted with your hand. This is to maintain the integrity of the screen, prevent and RF leakage and water ingress. A 11mm spanner is perfect for this task but long nose pliers are also suitable. Subminiature Version B connectors (SMB) are easy to use with telecoms equipment and are handy in areas where space is limited thanks to a miniature design. The Male connector has a receptacle and the Female connector has a centre pin. This prevents attempted connections between male and male or female and female connectors, which can damage the connector and impact the signal. Still in need of a boost? TV signal boosterswill help you improve your signal and help prevent signal loss and interference. An HDMI cablewill help you make the most of your HD TV, connecting it to gadgets like your Blu-ray player or laptop for pristine visuals.
