Coaxial cable connector OPTIVA F-type screw-on for RG59 copper cable VOFRG59

OPTIVA F-type screw-on coaxial connector VOFRG59 is designed for terminating RG59 copper coaxial cable and providing a threaded F-type interface for signal transmission in TV, satellite and CCTV installations. The connector ensures a secure mechanical and electrical connection between the cable and devices such as tuners, modulators, splitters and wall sockets. Constructed to match the dimensions of standard RG59 cable, it enables reliable contact and impedance continuity for analog and digital video signals.

Advantages

This F-type screw-on connector offers a simple, tool-free installation that creates a stable threaded connection. The design provides consistent electrical contact with the center conductor and the outer shield, minimising signal loss and reflections when correctly fitted to RG59 copper cable. Its metal construction delivers mechanical durability and compatibility with common consumer and professional AV equipment. The connector is suitable for use in indoor installations and for short runs where RG59 cable is specified.

Suitable for

• Connecting RG59 copper coaxial cable to TVs and set-top boxes
• Satellite and antenna feedlines with F-type threaded sockets
• CCTV camera systems using RG59 cable for video transmission
• Terminating cable runs at wall plates, splitters and modulators

Key specifications

• Connector type: F-type (screw-on)
• Cable compatibility: RG59 copper coaxial cable
• Contact arrangement: central conductor contact with outer threaded shield
• Application: TV, satellite, CCTV and general RF signal transmission
• Material: metal body for mechanical strength and signal shielding

How to use

Prepare the RG59 cable by stripping the outer jacket and exposing the braided shield and centre conductor according to standard termination length for F-type screw-on connectors. Fold the braid back over the jacket, insert the cable into the connector until the centre conductor seats in the pin contact and the jacket reaches the connector body. Thread the connector onto the mating F-type socket by hand and tighten until secure; avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to the cable or connector. Verify that the centre conductor is centered and that there is no short between the conductor and the shield before powering connected equipment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal performance, use this connector with correctly prepared RG59 copper cable and avoid long cable runs in high-frequency satellite installations where lower-loss cable types may be preferred. Inspect connections periodically for corrosion or looseness in environments with high humidity or temperature variation.
