F Plugs
F Plugs are the most common plugs in the UK and USA. These plugs are usually in the connection of the tv aerials and satellites. You can use these plugs on the both sender and receiver end.

An F screw connector is the easiest and most common to end all types of F plugs and can be prepared with a Stanley blade and scissors or a specialized wire termination tool. The F connector simply screws into the top of the coaxial cable braid and into the PVC jacket. It is important to choose the correct F plug for the cable you are using, as choosing the wrong one could cause a loose connection and easy loosening of the F plug. When properly terminated, the F plug should stay in place with a relatively firm pull .
Threaded or screwed F connections are suitable for home TV antennas / satellite systems, but should not be used in common TV systems where crimp connectors or compression plugs must be used instead. When using the F screw caps outdoors, it is recommended to waterproof the connections with amalgam tape or silicone grease, perfect for satellite LNB connections. A big advantage of using F-type screw caps is that they are relatively inexpensive and can be reused.
