The IDEAL RTQ™ XR™ series of F connectors offer a single connector solution to cover a range of coax types, including plenum rated versions. A patented compression sleeve design allows Regular (dual), Tri, and Quad shield cables all to be terminated within a single connector. All RTQ connectors have an all brass exterior and an inner O-ring to provide a robust, weather proof connection suitable for just about any application - indoors or outdoors.RG 59/6/6Q sized connectors are available for use in applications and installations from 5MHz to 3GHz, including CATV, satellite, HDTV and other A/V based applications. An internal sealing compression sleeve prevents moisture from entering the backside of the connector and aids in cable retention.All RTQ™ connectors require an industry standard 1/4. x 1/4. cable preparation and are permanently attached to the cable when using an IDEAL OmniSeal™ Pro or LinearX® compression tool. Features: Accepts RG-6/ RG-6 Quad/ RG-6 Plenum/ RG-6 Plenum Quad coax cables; Accepts RG-6/RG-6 Quad/RG-6 Plenum/RG-6 Plenum Quad coax cables; 1) Prepare RG-6 coax with a 1/4. x 1/4. strip, fold back the braiding. For RG-6 Quad, remove the outer foil layer and fold back both layers of braiding.; 2) Slide the connector on to the cable until the white dielectric is flush with the bottom of the nut.; 3) Place connector in IDEAL compression tool with standard F compression length setting and terminate.; 4) During termination, the body will compress(get shorter) and permanently secure the coax inside of the connector.; 5) Attach connector to device.; Designed for use in cable and satellite TV installations; WeatherProof™ - internal O-ring and patented back seal prevent moisture migration for indoor/outdoor use; Industry standard 21mm compressed length . works with non-IDEAL compression tools; All brass, with nickel plated bodies; Designed for optimal performance on 75? coaxial cables; >40 pounds cable retention on all models; 7/16. nut diameter with 3/8-32 thread
