Default Found at last - decent TV coax plugs!!

After trying several different types of Belling coax plug from the big
high street stores, I found that all were lossy and/or flimsily built
(I've posted on here in the past about this).

Anyway I can now recommend:

Signal quality: 10 out of 10
Build quality: 7 out of 10

IEC Crimp Male. You need a crimping tool though. Worth the money though.

Signal quality 10 out of 10 (untested) LOL

If you want some quality look at

But as they're sold as "unbranded" you might get a different type
tomorrow if you sent a repeat order.

How are you measuring the loss? It is extremely difficult to measure the
loss on connectors in a meaningful way.

I think that these connectors are directional, and only intended for
transmit. [Note the orientation of the cable grip thingy wotsit.]
