In the past I've always terminated both cables with F-Type male plugs

way, noting that this join will be under the floor and not readily
accessible?


No that's a good way. But wrap it round with self-amalg tape just to keep
it nice and dry.

I note that CPC sell a single device
(https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-signal/p...ler/dp/AR70664)
that contains a screw clamp to make the join. Any issue with using one
of these? It appears there's no shielding - does that matter?


Yes. That's a horrible invention.

Indeed - but to be perfectly frank and honest, it probably works
absolutely perfectly in all of the situations where it's likely to be
used!


people can be too fussy .....
