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).
