Extend coaxial cables - you have to be aware of that
If you want to extend a coaxial cable, you can do this in several ways with different aids. We will explain all possible ways in more detail and explain what you have to pay attention to.
Coaxial cable: This is how the extension works
- It is not easy to connect two coaxial cables together. F connectors must already be at the ends for extension. If this is not yet the case, fit the F connector.
- The easiest way to do this is to use a simple coaxial extension. You can get them in the electronics market and online for just over one euro.
- With a coaxial splitter, the cable is not only extended, but the signal is split if necessary. So you can operate several devices with just one connection.
