1 Purpose and Functions
The set of two ACTii AC4127 antenna adapters are high-quality passive components designed for signal conversion in radio, television, and satellite installations. The product allows for the conversion of a standard IEC antenna socket (female) to an F-type socket (female). This is an ideal solution for situations where it is necessary to connect coaxial cables terminated with different types of plugs without needing to modify the wiring. The adapter is used in residential TV installations, cable television systems, and professional collective network systems.
Main features:
- ✔ Solid metal construction ensuring durability and mechanical resistance
- ✔ Precision sockets guaranteeing a stable connection and minimal signal attenuation
- ✔ Universal compatibility with standard IEC and F plugs
- ✔ Aesthetic silver color matching most installation equipment
- ✔ The set includes 2 pieces of the product, allowing for support of multiple access points
- ✔ Full compliance with European CE standards and the RoHS directive
Application:
The adapter is used primarily to connect antenna cables to sockets in televisions, DVB-T2 tuners, satellite decoders, and signal amplifiers, where there is a mismatch in connector standards (IEC vs F).

3 Safety Instructions
To ensure safe and reliable operation of the product, please follow these rules:
- The product is intended exclusively for the transmission of low-voltage signals in antenna installations. It must not be used in mains power circuits.
- The adapter must be protected from direct contact with water, moisture, and extreme temperatures, which can lead to metal corrosion and degradation of signal quality.
- Before installation, ensure that the cable plugs are not damaged or contaminated.
- Do not use excessive force when inserting the IEC plug or screwing in the F-type plug to avoid damaging the internal sockets of the adapter or the target device.
- Store the product out of reach of children due to small component dimensions (risk of choking).
4 Installation and Maintenance
Installation:
- Prepare the coaxial cable terminated with an F-type plug (screw-on or crimp) or an IEC antenna plug.
- When connecting to an F-type cable: Screw the cable's male plug onto the threaded F-type socket in the adapter until you feel slight resistance.
- When connecting to an IEC socket: Slide the adapter side with the IEC socket onto the male antenna plug or into the device's socket (depending on configuration).
- Ensure the connection is rigid and does not exhibit play, which could cause "snow" on the screen or signal loss.
Maintenance:
The product requires no specialized maintenance. If signal quality deteriorates after prolonged use, check the contacts for tarnishing or dust. Contact surfaces can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol while the TV/AV equipment power is off.
5 Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No signal | Unstable connection or loose F-type plug. | Check and tighten all mechanical connections. |
| Image interference | Contaminated contacts or damaged cable core. | Clean adapter contacts; check if the cable core is broken. |
| Adapter does not fit | Attempting connection with a different standard connector (e.g., SMA). | Ensure you are using the IEC and F standards. |
