male and panel mount "F" splice connectors.
Specifically designed for applications using CommScope® series F59HEC-2
Headend Cable or Times Fiber Communications, Inc. 02240V and 02241V
Headend Cables.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES
• Incorporates silver plated precision center contact providing high frequency
performance.
• Superb Return Loss performance of -30dB up to 1 GHz.
• Extended panel mount thread length of .458" allows for thick panel mounting.
• Installation requires one-step 1/4" - 1/4" cable preparation and standard
compression tools used for all 59 & 6 series Snap-N-Seal® product families,
saving installation time.

LRC®
Precision F81 Connectors
Thomas & Betts LRC precision F81 connectors are high
performance splice connectors designed for the demands
of today’s broadband networks. These connectors provide
increased return loss performance up to 4 GHz and have
a large, captive pin contact area for greater reliability.

DESIGN FEATURES
• Operate over a wide variety of frequencies (DC to 3 GHz)
• High return loss – meets requirements for DBS (Direct
Broadcast Satellite) and exceeds SCTE minimum specification
• Flat port ends on both sides per SCTE specifications for
flatness and aperture
• Multi-point seizing pin enables lower contact resistance and
higher current handling capability
• Beryllium copper seizing pin insures a greater holding force
and maintains a higher spring tension over repetitive insertions
• Accepts a wide range of cable center conductor sizes

• Eliminates need to run new cable when the short stub-in is just
out of reach for the conventional strip tool
• rotates in a natural screw-driver type motion and will not nick
the braid or score the center conductor
• Blade cartridges are easily interchangeable
• Standard 1/4” - 1/4” cable preparation
• Patent pending design
