They look like RCA But they are in fact imports used on Antenna
Connections to Signal Amplifiers.


It's the TV antennae cable plug being used in Hong Kong, which was ruled
by UK before 1997. It's not RCA, the pin is shorter.

I wanna know the TECHNICAL name of that plug design.


Isn't it just a push-on non threaded F Connector?



No. It is a European TV antenna connector. They weren't used for
anything in the US, except on equipment brought in by foreigners. Some
referred to it as a PAL connector in the US,
