There is no adapter. RG-11 connectors are consided a standard F-Fitting. There are three types of connectors for RG-11. The most basic, and not recommended, is one that works like a normal connector. The center conductor makes contact with the female end of the receiving fitting. The larger wire size of RG-11 can cause the contacts in the f-81, ground block or other to break. The newer 2 and 3 ...
A barrel connector is a barrel connector. Your really supposed to use RG6 cable ends with RG6 and vice versa with RG59. Although you can sometimes get an RG6 connector to fit on RG59. If your dealing with a RG59 jumper, just replace the whole cable.
I never seem to be able to strip and terminate RG6 properly. (eg. my connectors are very loose, fall off, etc) I'm not sure if it's my tools but here's what I'm using: IDEAL Coaxial Stripper, 3-Step and IDEAL Economy Compression Tool I've read two methods for stripping the cable: 1) Remove...
The SealTite connectors slip right off after I install them, obviously I'm doing something wrong..... Equipment and parts: Paladin Tools SealTite Pro #1555 compression tool Paladin Tools SealTite Compression Cable TV "F" connector, for RG6 and RG6 quad, part #9643 Paladin Tools coax stripper...
The installer told me to make sure that I used RG6 equipment when I finished the installation -- I have RG6 cable to run from the wall plates to my TVs but I was wondering about the through connector for the wall plate (not the connectors on the end of the cable) -- are there RG6 F type and RG59 F type through connectors to pass through the ...
My indoor antenna is currently connected to my TV with a RG6 coax cable but some channels are coming in spotty so I would like to try an amplifier. The amplifier is a universal RCA with a fixed RG59 coax that connects to the TV, will it be ok ? Basically RG6 connected from antenna to amp and a...
After reading various blog discussions on the use of dielectric greases for weather proofing protection of coaxial connectors, I have been motivated to post this information. A bit long winded but bear with me. There is significant confusion out there on the use of dielectric grease fillers...
I am rewiring my house now that the weather is warmer with Belden 1694A RG6 coax in preparation for the Dish Pro Superdish. I have access to Digicon DS6, Snap N Seal SNS6 and Stirling SPL6 compression connectors. What is the best brand connector to use regarding least loss reflected power and...
At times its prohibitive to cut a Compression Connector from a coax to remove it from a Switch Weather Box, since the coax becomes too short and would need all be replaced. Is there a Compression Connector Removal Tool? Or, how otherwise such Connector can be removed without damaging the coax...
Do coaxial cable couplers reduce signal quality? If I have 3 coaxial couplers on an rg6 wire, that runs in total about 75 feet, will the coaxial couplers reduce the signal and not let me watch channels from my fta dish? I can not run one continuous wire, the only thing i can do is have 3 long...
