What are F-Type Connectors?

F-Type Connectors are screw-on coaxial connectors with high electrical and mechanical stability for cable television (CATV), set top boxes, cable modems and satellite TV applications up to 4 GHz. They are widely used for television equipment connections. This connector interface was developed by Eric E Winston of Jerrold Electronics, a US company that was developing equipment for the US cable TV market, in the 1950s.
