Product Description
The PLATINUM TOOLS 18001 is an F-type compression connector designed for use with RG6 quad-shield coaxial cable. It features a nickel-plated finish that resists corrosion and maintains solid signal integrity at the connection point. This connector is sold in a 100-piece pack, making it a practical choice for installers working on multi-drop cable television, satellite, or broadband distribution jobs. Compression-style termination delivers a more secure, weathertight seal compared to crimp or twist-on alternatives, reducing signal ingress and egress at the port. Low-voltage technicians and cable installers reach for this connector on residential and light commercial runs.
This connector is suited for residential and light commercial coaxial cable installations where RG6 quad-shield cable is the specified medium. Typical applications include cable television drops, satellite dish feed lines, and broadband coaxial distribution systems. The 100-piece pack quantity supports service vans and installation crews that terminate multiple outlets per job. A compatible compression tool is required for proper installation and is not included.
Key Features
- F-type interface for standard coaxial port compatibility
- Compression termination style for secure, weathertight connections
- Nickel-plated finish for corrosion resistance
- Designed specifically for RG6 quad-shield coaxial cable
- Sold in a 100-piece pack for high-volume installation work
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-install connector for RG6 quad-shield coaxial cable terminations in low-voltage signal distribution systems.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a dedicated F-type compression tool sized for RG6 cable. The cable end should be prepared with a coax cable stripper to expose the correct lengths of center conductor, dielectric, and shield before seating the connector. Low-voltage installers should verify the cable shield is properly folded back and seated against the connector body prior to compression. Follow local low-voltage wiring codes and manufacturer tool specifications for full compression seating.
