Corning Gilbert UltraRange Universal RG6 Coax Cable Compression F Connectors for Satellite, Cable, FTA, OTA:
The
UltraRange®series is a new generation of high performance sealed
compression “F” connectors. This compression connector series combines
ease of installation over a wide range of cable braid coverage with
superior performance features.The UltraRange 6 connector design
incorporates a free spinning nut making installation faster and more
reliable. The UltraRange compression technology provides 360 degrees of
contact to the cable, providing excellent RF shielding integrity and a
complete seal to the cable jacket to lock out moisture.
Most
compression connectors have plastic on outside that is compressed into
the metal body and sometimes while compressing they can kink. These are
metal to metal outside, no plastic, a sure compression every time.
