Install Coaxial F Wall Plates to Protect In-Wall Wiring

Nearly every home or business has a number of F connector and RG6 wires that are concealed behind drywall, and while cutting a hole for access to the wires is an option, a wall plate is designed to protect the wire while providing access to it when needed. A variety of coaxial covers and adapters are available, which can make selecting one a complicated process.

A wall plate will work with nearly any type of coaxial cable wire, including RG6, but it is essential to choose one that has an adequate number of outlets. Some designs are also equipped with a connector that is compatible with a telephone line, allowing both cables to be accessed from one location. Just make sure the ohm rating of the coaxial cable does not exceed that of the in-wall connector.

Installing a connector for use with an F-type coaxial cable or phone line is an easy process using the following steps:

• Remove any existing covers or connectors and expose the F connector wires.
• Measure the coaxial cable and ensure there is ample length for it to reach the connector on the back of the cover.
• Inspect the connector's condition and replace it if any damage is visible.
• Connect the coaxial cable to the cover using an adapter if necessary.
• Attach the plate to the wall making sure not to crimp the wire.

F-type cable covers come in a vast selection of colors, but it is essential to select one that will coordinate with the other wall plates in a home.

• White: A white plate is a solid choice as it provides a clean and sleek appearance.
• Brown: Individuals looking for a more basic F connector plate should try using one that is brown, as it will blend in with wooden trim more so than a white model.
• Gray: An updated home that is fitted with coax needs a cover that is gray, as it will match with any other decor elements.
• Cream: If you want to conceal the fact that you have F-type coax connections, it may be a good idea to use one that is a darker shade of white.

A coax is designed to transmit large amounts of data and may be used to provide a wide range of services, including television and internet. If the coaxial connection is not protected, it may lead to data loss. In addition to scrambling a television picture, it may also lessen the RG6 cable strength and create an unstable connection to the internet.

No specialized tools or adapters are required when installing a coax cover.

• Screwdriver: A screwdriver is used to remove any existing covers or connectors and to reattach the replacement.
• Adjustable wrench: The F-type coax will connect to the cover via a small nut, and an adjustable wrench will make tightening the connector and securing the coaxial F-type wire easy.
• Drywall knife: If the connector at the end of the coaxial cable is not visible, a drywall knife will make it easy to create a hole and gain access to the coaxial.
