F-TYPE CONNECTOR SERIES
The F-Type connector series is a high performance, cost competitive threaded connector series. Primary applications of the F-Type connectors are for cable television (CATV), set top boxes and cable modems.
Amphenol’s F-Type is a 75 Ω connector featuring 30 dB return loss at 1GHz. Additionally, these connectors accept .022-.042 in. diameter conductors and comply with a 3/8-32 thread specification.
The F-Type connector is a threaded alternative to the slide-on G-Type connector.
