Right-angle F Joiners?

    Well folks,

    I'm looking for the above. Searching on the internet has not worked, I'm only getting results for elbow connectors, which have an f-socket and an f-plug at right angles.

    Is there anywhere which deals in female-female elbow joiners?


    I'm hoping to use it for a wall plate, but the wall box has little room so I wanted right-angle joiners instead. But for the same reason, using an f joiner and then one of these: ebay link won't really be possible due to space behind the wall plate.

    Any help appreciated.

    A Swept Elbow Joint.

    That looks perfect for what I described, only thing is that the threads will have to be long enough to screw on to, after it's been passed through a hole in the wall plate itself! After putting the fixing nut onto that joiner, there'd be very little thread left for the connector to screw on to. I think anyway?!

    What exactly is impeding the wall plate that's forcing you down this route? I assume you can get at the wall plate so use a brush plate and barrel the two cables together inside the plate. It's hidden and there's no tension on the termination point. Or roll up about 6 inches of cable at the plate to take the tension of the f connector at the plate.

    Alternatively if you feel you haven't enough thread just leave the inner core that touch longer to ensure maximum connection in the barrel join.
