F type Satellite Cable F Male to F Male with RG316

In high-performance radio frequency (RF) applications, particularly those requiring flexible routing in tight spaces, the cable choice is critical. While traditional satellite setups often rely on larger RG6 or RG59, this specialized F Male to F Male cable built with RG316 coaxial cable delivers a unique combination of extreme flexibility, high-temperature resistance, and consistent signal integrity. This cable is your essential link for connecting components in complex, compact systems where space is a premium and reliability cannot be sacrificed. Perfect for use with satellite receivers, cable modems, LNBs (Low-Noise Block-down Converters), and RF test equipment, it ensures your signal remains robust without the bulk of standard coax. Choose this RG316 F-type assembly for demanding environments that require durability and minimal footprint.

Engineered for Performance: The RG316 Cable Advantage

The core of this product's superior performance lies in its use of RG316—a miniature coaxial cable originally developed for military and aerospace applications. This construction provides key advantages over standard cables, particularly in short runs and challenging installations.

Exceptional Flexibility and Minimal Bend Radius

Unlike stiff, large-diameter cables, the RG316 boasts outstanding flexibility.

• Easy Routing: The small diameter allows for easy routing around corners and inside crowded enclosures, making it an indispensable coaxial jumper cable for tight spaces behind wall-mounted TVs or within complex server racks and media cabinets.

• Reduced Stress: The extreme flexibility minimizes mechanical stress on the cable and the connected equipment ports, increasing overall system longevity and preventing signal intermittent issues caused by kinking or tight bends.

High-Temperature Stability and Durability

The construction materials of the RG316 cable are chosen for their resilience in harsh conditions.

• PTFE Dielectric: Utilizing Polytetrafluorofluoroethylene (PTFE) as the dielectric, the cable maintains stable electrical performance across a wide operating temperature range, up to 200∘C (approximately 392∘F). This makes it suitable for equipment that generates significant heat or is used in environments with fluctuating temperatures, such as attic installations or industrial controls.

• Silver-Plated Shielding: The single shielded RG316 braid is made of silver-plated copper, offering excellent conductivity and superior protection against Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI), which is crucial for maintaining a clean, high-fidelity signal.

Key Features: F-Type Connector Precision

The F-Type connector is the universal standard for cable and satellite television, and our precision-machined, F Male to F Male connectors ensure a perfect $75-\text{ohm}$ impedance match, critical for preserving signal quality, especially at high frequencies.

• Universal Compatibility: The threaded F connector is the industry-standard interface for all major domestic video services, including Cable TV, Satellite Dish systems (like DirecTV, Dish Network), and Terrestrial TV Antennas.

• Secure Connection: The screw-on design of the F Male plug provides a robust, mechanical connection that prevents accidental disconnection and maintains a consistent electrical contact, minimizing signal degradation that can occur with loose push-on connectors.

• Perfect Adapter Jumper: This assembly is often used as a coaxial adapter cable or pigtail to connect equipment with F-type ports to test meters, couplers, or other standard components.

Versatile Usage Scenarios: Where Performance Meets Practicality

The unique attributes of the RG316 F-Type cable make it the go-to solution for specific, high-demand installations where standard cables fall short.

1. Satellite and Cable Modem Installations

While the cable impedance is typically 50 ohms for RG316, this specific assembly is often used as a short jumper or pigtail in 75 ohm systems (like SATV/CATV) for convenience in tight spots where its minimal size is the overriding factor, or in hybrid systems where a robust, flexible 50 ohm line is needed between components using F-Type couplers.

• Wall-Mounted TV: Ideal for connecting a wall jack to a thin HDTV or set-top box where thick cables would force the device far from the wall.

• Cable Modem Racks: Used to create flexible connections within crowded network cabinets where cable management and airflow are vital.

2. RF Test & Measurement Systems

In professional testing environments, a flexible, durable cable that can withstand repeated flexing and high temperatures is necessary.

• Test Bench Jumpers: Excellent for connecting Signal Generators, Spectrum Analyzers, and RF Splitters that use F-Type ports, allowing for quick, reliable reconfiguration of the test setup.

• Prototyping: Its robust MIL-C-17 compliant construction makes it a reliable cable for new CATV/SATV system development and high-frequency communication testing.

3. Automotive and Mobile Applications

The small size and high-temperature rating of the RG316 are perfect for vehicular setups.

• GPS and Satellite Radio: Used for connecting antennas to receivers in cars, trucks, and boats where cable must be run through narrow, engine-adjacent, or high-heat spaces.
