F Connectors for Coaxial Cables
Overview Flexible cables (RG-6 and RG-11) use F connectors to make the tap port
connections; F connectors are also used to make the drop cable connection to
certain drop adapters (see Planning RIO Drops, p. 61). F connectors use a 3/8-32
thread. Always use industrial grade F connectors in RIO cable systems—
commercial grade F connectors should not be used.
