Ideal 85-037 F-type Crimp Coaxial Connector RG6 10-pack

Product Description

The IDEAL 85-037 is a straight F-type crimp coaxial connector designed for use with RG6 coaxial cable in residential and light commercial signal distribution systems. The connector features a brass contact and brass body construction, delivering reliable conductivity and mechanical durability at the termination point. Crimp-style termination provides a secure, low-resistance connection that resists pull-out under normal service conditions. Each package contains 10 connectors. This connector is installed by electricians, low-voltage technicians, and cable system installers working on antenna, satellite, or CATV wiring runs.

The IDEAL 85-037 is suited for RG6 coaxial cable terminations in residential satellite dish installations, over-the-air antenna systems, and cable television distribution wiring. The straight body orientation makes it appropriate for standard in-line and panel terminations where no angular offset is required. The F-type interface is the industry-standard connector format for these signal applications, making this connector a common stock item for low-voltage rough-in and trim-out work.

Key Features

• F-type connector interface — industry-standard format for satellite, antenna, and CATV applications
• Crimp termination method for secure, repeatable cable attachment
• Compatible with RG6 coaxial cable
• Straight body orientation for standard in-line terminations
• Brass contact and brass body for conductivity and mechanical strength
• Sold in a 10-piece pack for efficient stocking and service calls

Compatibility

Designed for use with RG6 coaxial cable using crimp-style termination tools. The F-type interface is compatible with standard F-type ports on televisions, satellite receivers, cable boxes, splitters, and wall plates.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage technicians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for communications wiring. Before terminating, strip and prepare the RG6 cable to the manufacturer-specified dimensions using a coaxial cable stripper, then seat the connector fully before crimping with a compatible F-type crimp tool. Do not over-crimp or use non-rated tools, as this can damage the dielectric or reduce signal integrity. Verify connector seating and check for continuity before closing up any enclosures or wall plates.
