F Plugs 

The F plug came from the USA and is most commonly used for satellite dish connections at 

both the satellite LNB and the satellite receiver itself. 

The F plug has a threaded connection that allows the plug to be 

screwed in securely and not fall out of position which can be common 

with over types of coax plugs.

 F plugs are also now very common for TV aerial 

and communal TV systems for connections at aerials, splitters, amplifiers and for joining coax cable.

A screw on F connector is the most common and easiest to terminate of all the F plug types 

and can be prepared with a Stanley blade and scissors or a specialist cable termination tool. 

The F plug simply screws on top of the coaxial cable braid and PVC jacket. 

It’s important to pick the right F plug for the cable you’re using as to pick 

the wrong one could cause a loose connection and an F plug that falls loose easily.

If terminated correctly the F plug should remain in position with a relatively firm pull.

 

Screw on F connections are suitable for domestic TV aerial/satellite systems but should not be used on communal TV systems 

where you should use crimp on F connectors or compression plugs instead. 

When using screw on F plugs outside it is recommend that you weatherproof your connections with amalgamating tape 

or silicone grease is perfect for connections to satellite LNB’s. 

One big advantage to using screw type F plugs is that they are relatively inexpensive and can be re-used.
