want to make up short coax aerial leads for rf loopthrough?

swoofer

I have a saorview box, small, on top of an old 14" portable but want to make leads as short as possible for neatness. I have the cable and coax plugs but when I come to plug the rf loopthrough in my coax plug wont fit!! I have to use a little adaptor.

Can I buy the correct coax plug anywhere and what is it called? The loopthrough is needed for sky

ps I need these for a friend who is going to buy 4 boxes!!

Female Belling Lee in line. Decent ones need soldered.
The Normal one is Male.

It might be cheaper to buy "VCR - TV" leads in a "Euro shop" and cut off the male end and put a new plug. Except they are not properly screened.

Note you can't put sharp bends. Any coax type has a minimum bend radius.

This guide will show you how to do up the connectors. I'm sure he would have the connector you are looking for. Usually get them from B and Q as well.

the lead i am going to use is about 9 ins and I am going to shorten a skinny scart. It has to look neat.
