3M TV Antenna Cable F-Type Male to F-Type Male

Introduction

The F-type connector is a coaxial RF connector commonly used for TVs. It is an inexpensive connector for radio frequency signals. It has good 75 Ω impedance match for frequencies well over 1 GHz and has usable bandwidth up to several GHz. An F-Type TV antenna cable is a type of coaxial cable that is commonly used for TV antenna applications. The "F-Type" refers to the type of connector that is used at each end of the cable, which is a threaded connector with a central pin and a surrounding metal ring. F-Type TV antenna cables typically have a characteristic impedance of 75 ohms, which is the standard impedance used for TV signals. They are designed to provide a reliable connection between a TV antenna and a TV set, with minimal signal loss and interference. F-Type TV antenna cables can come in various lengths and thicknesses, depending on the specific application and the distance between the antenna and the TV set. They are typically made with a copper conductor, surrounded by a dielectric insulator, a braided shield, and an outer jacket for protection.

Specifications

• Connector type: The cable has a Gold-Plated F-Type connector on both ends, which are typically threaded connectors that provide a secure and reliable connection.
• Cable type: The cable will be a coaxial cable, which consists of a centre conductor, a dielectric insulator, a braided shield, and an outer jacket.
• Cable length: The cable may be available in various lengths, ranging from a few feet to several hundred feet.
• Impedance: The cable's impedance will typically be 75 ohms, which is the standard impedance used for TV signals.
• Shielding: The cable has double shielding to minimize interference and signal loss. This can include a braided shield, a foil shield, and/or a metal connector shell.
• Frequency range: The cable's frequency range will depend on the frequency range of the TV signals in your area. F-Type TV antenna cables are designed to handle the frequency range of standard VHF and UHF TV signals, which typically fall within the range of 174-230 MHz for VHF channels and 470-862 MHz for UHF channels.
• Attenuation: The cable's attenuation is a measure of how much signal strength is lost as the signal travels through the cable. Lower attenuation means less signal loss, which can result in better signal quality. F-Type TV antenna cables typically have an attenuation of around 6-10 dB per 100 feet, depending on the specific cable model.
