IPTV Coax Pro™ 5

ENGLISH

4.2 F-connector sockets

Within your coaxial network you may encounter two types of connectors, the

F-connector and the IEC-connector.

F-connector IEC-connector

Older systems generally still use IEC-connectors, while newer installations

use F-connectors. The use of F-connectors within your coaxial network is

recommended because of the quality of the connection. Compared to an

IEC connector, the F-connector has lower signal loss. To avoid/reduce

signal loss, IPTV Coax Pro™ nodes use an F-connector socket. Use IEC-

connectors preferably only for loose cables, for example, to connect to your

TV.

No two coaxial home networks are the same, so in practice, there is an

infinite number of different connectivity options. This makes it impossible to

add all possible cables and connectors to the set’s content. However, you

can assemble the appropriate cables yourself, or cut existing cables and

use the supplied F-connectors. Some specialist shops also carry IEC to F-

connector adapter cables; please enquire at your shop.

The remainder of the manual is based on an installation using F-connectors.

For more information about assembling your own coaxial cables using F-

connectors, please refer to www.marmitek.com (FAQs).
