Snap-N-Seal® compression connectors offer the same

high shielding effectiveness, low insertion loss and

excellent return loss specications, but with a

knurled nut design that is both unique in appearance

and makes indoor installation easy for installers and

subscribers.

• Large 1/2” diameter knurled “subscriber friendly” nut design provides

additional leverage for connections to TVs, VCRs and Set-Top Converters.

• Installation requires one-step 1/4”-1/4” cable preparation and the standard

compression tools used for all 59 and 6 series Snap-N-Seal® product

families, which saves time and reduces the chance for errors.

• True 360° compression onto cable ensures optimum RF shielding

performance, -90 dB effective shielding (typical on a 60% braid cable),

without performance degradation experienced by all crimp style products

over time.

• Superb return loss performance of -30 dB up to 1GHz.

• Cable retention exceeds 40 lb. minimum as specied by the SCTE.

• Permanently stamped part numbers and color-coded sleeves for easy

identication before and after installation.

Adapted from our environmentally sealed, indoor/outdoor LRC®Snap-N-Seal®

line, the Indoor F Series Snap-N-Seal®compression connectors offer the

same high shielding effectiveness, low insertion loss and excellent return loss

specifications, but with a knurled nut to make indoor installation easy for

installers and subscribers. Connectors that are not environmentally sealed should

not be used outdoors.

DESIGN ADVANTAGES

• Large 1/2” diameter knurled “subscriber friendly” nut provides additional leverage

over standard 7/16” hex nut, ensuring RF tight connections to TVs, VCRs

and Set-Top Converters.

• Installer can use a standard 7/16” hex for wrench tight installations.

• Installation requires one-step 1/4”-1/4” cable preparation and the standard

compression tools used for all 59 and 6 series Snap-N-Seal®product families,

which saves time and reduces the chances for errors.

• True 360° compression onto cable ensures optimum RF shielding performance,

degradation experienced by all crimp style products over time.

• Superb return loss performance of -30 dB up to 1GHz.

• Cable retention exceeds 40 lb. minimum as specified by the SCTE.

• A clear chromate finish, permanently stamped part numbers and color-

coded sleeves make the connector easy to identify before and after installation.

• The indoor Snap-N-Seal®system includes jumper cable assemblies, which

are the best choice for digital boxes and cable modems.

Snap-N-Seal®Headend,

Cable to “F” Female

Precision Connector

The Snap-N-Seal®headend, cable to "F" female precision connector is

designed for use in space-limited applications such as Headend Video

Combiners. It is a single connector, thus eliminating the need for separate "F"

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.

• Optional panel mounting hardware includes Lock Washer 6155LW or Flat

Washer 6155 plus 1/2" Hex Panel Nut 6150.

Thomas & Betts Snap-N-Seal® QR320 connector

is designed for SDU/MDU applications and can

be installed on either ooded or non-ooded

QR 320 cables. This connector features a non-

metallic post, which reduces craft sensitivity of

the cable to connector interface.

• Featuring Snap-N-Seal® technology for consistent, reliable

connections

• Integral precision Auto Seize® technology enables good contact with

the center conductor

• True 360º compression onto cable ensures superior environmental

seal

• Cable preparation requires the use of cable coring tools (7/16” center

conductor exposure, 3/8” aluminum sheath exposure, 9/16” core)

• Easy and quick to install with standard compression tools used for

Snap-N-Seal 7 & 11 Series product families

• Quad sealed system prevents moisture migration

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
