What connector is used to terminate Series 6 cabling?

Coaxial cabling used for cable TV and satellite is terminated with a screw-on F-type connector because it is designed for 75-ohm coax and is the standard for that type of cable. The F-type provides a good impedance match and a reliable connection by gripping the outer conductor while using the cable’s center conductor as the signal pin. This makes it ideal for Series 6 (RG-6) installations. Other connectors serve different contexts: BNC is common on older video/testing setups and some 50-ohm systems, SMA is a small RF connector for higher-frequency applications, and RJ-45 is used for Ethernet over twisted pair.
