Normal tv coax connections for thin coax

[rfinch23]

Hi, I have some thin coax that came with a one for all outdoor tv antenna. I need to find normal male connectors that will give a good firm fit, the standard are to loose. Any suggestions please.

I'd recommend getting some decent quality cable to be honest - the screening on the cheap stuff is very poor. When you're talking microvolt level signals it makes a big difference.

Welcome to the forum by the way.

Thanks for the advice.I am going to invest in some good quality RG6 coax as a starting point. Tried the antennas booster in line but it made things worse as kept loosing the sound for a couple of seconds. Fingers the better coax will help.

the cheaper cable is junk in most cases tbh

What model of "one for all" tv antenna is it?
If the 'booster' is a module that came with it, it might actually be a power injector for some electronics in the antenna head, typically a small amplifier/filter. In which case the aerial won't work as intended without it. Losing sound could be an artefact of too much signal!!

But of course if it's just a regular signal booster, ignore me!

No it came with a booster which was fine until I wanted to add more rooms so it has been replaced with a SSL 70 Element Tri Boom Very High Gain TV Aerial. Then there will be the Wolsey WFAV 622 LTE 6 Way Variable Gain Masthead Amplifier with Power Supply Kit and Rg6 coaxing.

Sorry I hadn't connected this query with your other post.
