Panel-mount adapter DELOCK IEC female to F female black, model 91196

The DELOCK panel-mount adapter IEC female to F female (black) is a compact interface designed for mounting in equipment panels or housings. It provides a stable, fixed connection point that converts an IEC female receptacle to an F-type female coaxial socket, allowing integration of coaxial F-connector cabling with devices that use IEC-style connections. The adapter is intended for installations that require a neat, durable transition between power/signal enclosures and coaxial cable systems.

Advantages

This panel-mount adapter offers a space-saving, fixed solution for converting an IEC female interface to an F female connector without the need for external adapters or cable changes. Its panel-mount format secures the connection point directly to the chassis or enclosure, reducing strain on attached cables and improving mechanical stability. The black finish provides a neutral appearance that blends with common equipment panels.

Suitable for

• Equipment panels or housings that require a fixed transition from IEC female to F female connections
• AV racks, set-top boxes or receivers where coaxial F-connector cabling must interface with IEC-style ports
• Custom housings, test benches or industrial cabinets needing a robust mounted connector

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is not intended to convert signal types or voltages; it only provides a physical interface between an IEC female receptacle and an F female coaxial socket. It should not be used where electrical or signal compatibility between connected devices has not been verified. Also, it is not designed as a waterproof or outdoor-rated feedthrough unless explicitly installed within appropriately sealed enclosures.

Key specifications

• Connector conversion: IEC female to F female
• Mounting type: panel / chassis mount
• Color: black
• Application: fixed interface between IEC-style inlet area and coaxial F-connector cabling

How to use

Drill or use the prepared cutout in the equipment panel or housing to accommodate the adapter's mounting dimensions, then insert the adapter and secure it with the appropriate nut or fastening hardware. Ensure the adapter's orientation matches the intended cable routing. Connect the IEC-side mating plug or internal wiring as required by the device, and attach the coaxial cable with an F male connector to the F female socket. Verify mechanical tightness and that signal or power connections are compatible before energizing the equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a panel-mounted IEC-to-F mechanical interface is the correct solution for your installation
• Verify panel cutout size and available depth in the chassis to ensure proper fitment
• Check electrical and signal compatibility between devices to avoid improper connections

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the adapter in a suitably sized, grounded enclosure and secure it firmly to the panel. Use properly fitted F male connectors on coaxial cables and avoid overtightening. If the installation will be exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions, provide additional sealing at the panel or use a weatherproof enclosure.
