Universal RG6 F-Male Connectors

The Corning EFC compression connectors are F-type male plugs designed for Series 6 coaxial cable. They suit installers working on indoor or outdoor RF distribution such as cable TV, satellite or antenna runs. The 100-piece pack supports volume projects or service-van stock.

Compression Install With Proprietary Grounding

A compression tool is required; the connectors accept single-braid, tri-shield and quad-shield constructions across a 60 % to quad braid coverage range. Corning’s continuity technology maintains shielding and signal throughput even if the hex coupling nut is not fully tightened, reducing the common fault of loose nuts causing ingress. All-metal bodies avoid the UV degradation seen on plastic-sheathed alternatives.

3 GHz Bandwidth With 80 dB Shielding

The interface is rated from 0 GHz to 3 GHz with a typical return loss of 30 dB and shielding effectiveness of 80 dB on 60 % braid cable. Operation spans -40 °C to 70 °C, so the same part serves head-end, drop and customer-premise locations without derating. RoHS compliance confirms the absence of restricted substances.
