ANSI SCTE-123-2011 pdf download Specification for “F” Connector, Male, Feed-Through
1.0 SCOPE The purpose of this document is to specify requirements for male “F” feed-through connectors that are used in the 75 ohm RF broadband communications industry. This specification applies to SCTE drop cable specifications ANSI/SCTE 74 2003, ANSI/SCTE 71 2008, and ANSI/SCTE 100 2010. All requirements of this document are measured after installation per manufactures instructions of the cable into the connector.
2.0 DEFINITIONS AND ACRONYMS
2.1 Dielectric: The material that is used to insulate the center conductor from contacting the outer housing. 2.2 Thread Relief: A reduced diameter section of the threaded surface to allow the tool to run out. This feature is optional.
2.3 Center Conductor: The inner conductor of a coaxial cable that is fed through the male “F” feed-through connector.
2.4 Reference Plane: The reference plane on the male “F” feed-through connector is the mating surface that seats against the female “F” port. It is also the plane from where all horizontal dimensions are taken.
2.5 Parting Line (relevant to casting process only): A raised mark left on the surface of a part as a result of the gap between two halves of a die.
