TV is simple use F connectors

two RG6FPLUG and one Threaded "F" barrel.

Commonly available from many outlets.

Avoid BNC (TV) connectors ( COLC - female barrel connector (to join two
male TV plugs) they are more lossy.


You are thinking of Belling Lee connectors, not BNC connectors. The latter
are very rare on domestic stuff.

Also, I doubt there is much real difference in loss between F type
connectors and Belling Lee connectors.
