F-type coaxial connector

Amphenol describes its F-type family as a threaded 75-ohm interface used for CATV and broadband connections. A family name does not establish every cable assembly or installation requirement.

Also called F connector F type coax TV coax connector

A television-style coax connector is not the same family as SMA.

Look for

Look for the round coaxial interface and threaded coupling, then read the device or cable specification. Visual resemblance is only a candidate match.

Before you connect or replace

F-type and BNC are different coax families

No. Amphenol describes F-type as a threaded 75-ohm family; BNC is bayonet-coupled and has multiple impedance variants. The equipment connector, coax and termination must be specified.

Three checks and exact source trail ↗

Editorial decision guidance only. A connector identity or nominal pitch does not establish approved mating, safe wiring or a supported device combination.

The useful distinction

Recognize it. Then verify it.

Amphenol describes its F-type family as a threaded 75-ohm interface used for CATV and broadband connections. A family name does not establish every cable assembly or installation requirement. [C065A]

Before you connect

What to check

  1. Confirm the exact F-type interface at both ends.
  2. Check the required cable and system impedance in the equipment guidance.
  3. Keep adapters and splitters in the documented signal path.
  4. Leave installation, grounding and energized systems to appropriate guidance.
Trace a supported connection class →

Do not generalize the catalogue

A vendor family page may list several variants. Match the precise part and cable specification instead of assigning a single frequency limit to every F-type product.
