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. 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. The BNC plug is a plug that inserts in position and then twists to remain in place. BNC stands for Bayonette Neil Consellman after the man who designed the plug and is commonly used for analogue CCTV systems. They come in many types but the most common type is a crimp on connection. There are loads of others, too many to name in this blog. It’s important to note and it may sound obvious but when you convert one plug to another you will not automatically receive the service associated with the other plug. For example I had a customer who had changed the plug on the end of their satellite cable and didn’t know why the Freeview signal would not work when plugged into the TV.

International Delivery 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. There are many types for F plugs for different size coaxial cables and plugs that terminate differently like screw on F plugs, crimp on and compression plugs but in essence they are very similar.

The plugs are the most expensive to buy out of all three of the F plug types and like crimp on F plugs cannot be used again. Once installed however what makes them so good is that no matter how hard you try there is a good chance that you will never be able to pull that plug away from the cable,which even the best terminated screw on or crimp on F plug will. In fact you’re more likely to cause damage to the coax cable itself by pulling so hard.

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.
