What's the name of the plugs in USA?

It seems that USA televisions only use F Type connectors.


My JVC came with one of these for the antenna connection. I believe its
called an N connector. MCM sells adapters, N to F connector, so does Radio
Shack.



This is a 'N' connector:

They are used for higher power & frequencies than what he posted, and
are not compatible. They were used at 4 GHz on early C-band satellite
LNAs as well as a lot of commercial and military communications
equipment.

They are constant impedance, and come in 50 and 75 ohm versions. A
50 ohm plug will damage a 75 ohm jack, due to the different diameters of
the center conductor.
