Panel-mount F-female to F-female adapter, DELOCK 91188, black, cable panel connector

DELOCK Panel-mount F-female to F-female adapter (model 91188) is a compact, black cable panel connector designed for fixed installation on equipment panels. It provides two standard F-type female interfaces to connect, join or extend coaxial cables used in TV, satellite and RF signal distribution. The adapter simplifies cable routing through enclosure walls and offers a stable mechanical and electrical contact when paired with common F-connector coaxial cables.

Advantages

This panel connector delivers a straightforward solution for extending or coupling F-type coaxial connections at an equipment panel. The fixed-mount design secures the connector to the panel, preventing cable strain at the entry point and keeping connections tidy. Its standard F-thread interface ensures compatibility with widely used TV and satellite cables, and the compact, black housing integrates unobtrusively into racks, wall plates or equipment housings.

Suitable for

• Joining two F-connector coaxial cables through a panel or wall
• Extending cable runs for TV and satellite distribution
• Panel feed-throughs on set-top boxes, media cabinets or AV racks
• RF signal routing in equipment housings and enclosures

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for standard F-type coaxial connections and passive signal coupling; it is not suitable where active signal amplification, impedance conversion, or frequency-specific filtering is required. It also does not replace weatherproof outdoor connectors unless additional sealing or protective housing is provided for exposure to moisture and harsh environments.

Key specifications

• Connector type: F female to F female
• Mounting: panel-mount / fixed installation
• Housing colour: black
• Application: TV, satellite and RF coaxial signal coupling

How to use

Drill or use an existing panel cut-out of a suitable diameter, insert the adapter from the front or rear depending on panel design, and secure it using the integrated mounting method or supplied nut if applicable. Screw F-connector terminated coaxial cables into each female interface until hand-tight; avoid over-tightening with tools to prevent damage to the connector or cable. After installation, verify signal continuity and quality with the connected equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your coaxial cables use standard F-type threaded connectors
• Ensure panel thickness and cut-out dimensions match the adapter's mounting requirements
• Assess whether additional sealing or protection is needed for outdoor or humid installations

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this DELOCK panel-mount F-female adapter indoors or within protected enclosures and avoid exposing the connector to direct weather. Hand-tighten F-connector cables and check signal levels after installation; if long cable runs or multiple couplings are required, consider using a single continuous cable or an active amplifier to reduce insertion loss.
