F-Type Connectors
Versatile 75 ohm RF solutions ideal for broadband, video and telecommunications systems
Overview
Amphenol RF’s F-Type connectors are precision-engineered RF solutions designed for 75-ohm coaxial applications. These connectors are widely used across residential and commercial broadband networks, cable television infrastructure, and set-top boxes. Featuring a secure threaded interface, F-Type connectors ensure reliable signal continuity and mechanical stability, making them a preferred choice for high-volume and high-reliability installations.
Amphenol RF offers a broad range of F-Type connector configurations, including straight and right-angle, bulkhead, PCB, edge-mount, and surface-mount designs. These connectors are compatible with a variety of standard coaxial cables and can accommodate center conductors from .022 to .042 inches. Built to meet ANSI/SCTE interface standards, F-Type connectors support frequency ranges up to 3 GHz depending on the specific design and cable type.
