Platinum Tools 18311 F-type RG11 Connector Nickel Plated

Product Description

The PLATINUM TOOLS 18311 is a nickel-plated F-type connector designed for terminating RG11 coaxial cable. F-type connectors provide a threaded, weather-resistant interface commonly used in signal distribution systems for cable television, satellite, and broadband applications. The nickel plating on the 18311 provides corrosion resistance and a reliable contact surface. This connector is sold individually and is suitable for both new installations and field repairs where a clean, secure coaxial termination is required.

This connector is used in residential and light commercial A/V and signal distribution installations. It is appropriate for satellite dish feedlines, cable TV trunk and drop lines, and antenna distribution systems that use RG11 coaxial cable. RG11 is a larger-diameter, lower-loss cable typically selected for longer runs where signal loss must be minimized. Licensed installers, cable technicians, and low-voltage specialists are the typical trades working with this fitting.

Key Features

• Nickel-plated finish for corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact
• F-type threaded interface for secure, hand-tightenable connections
• Sized specifically for RG11 coaxial cable diameter
• Sold as a single unit for targeted replacement or small-quantity work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style field termination connector for RG11 coaxial cable used in cable television, satellite, and broadband signal distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or cable technicians following applicable local codes and TIA/EIA cabling standards. Proper cable preparation, including correct strip dimensions for the RG11 jacket, dielectric, and center conductor, is critical for a low-loss connection. Use a torque wrench or calibrated torque tool when tightening F-type connectors to avoid over-tightening and deforming the connector body. Always verify continuity and signal integrity after termination.
