[David MacLeod]

can anyone recommend a decent right angle compression fitting for f fittings?
thanks.

I don't know how decent (at the frequencies used for Directv I wouldn't recommend any right-angle connector), but the Thomas & Betts 90SNS1P6U is probably as good as they get.

I'll check them, thanks. I have 2 runs where I need to turn 90 deg right out of the wall.

tough to find good ones.. the ratshack ones break if you touch them.. I have 2 that came with my RF modulators that worked well on my HR21/am21..

[David MacLeod]

I tried the RS ones and had same issues.

The cable through hole (or keystone jack opening) is molded into a recessed panel that gets the cable closer to the wall without a severe bend.

My personal favorite is this gizmo because it avoids the insertion loss of a coupler:

Great suggestions! I love these forums.
And don't forget, if you're doing any wired ethernet, have a look at EZ RJ45 connectors.

Harsh? What's that angled thingy with the label MonoPrice. I'm not clear what it does..do you have a link?

[David MacLeod]

I've been thinking about them, limited space for the recess might be an issue. I was going to get some dimensions.
so you've had good luck with them?

I don't use the EZ ones actually, have the punch tools and a bunch of paradyne items.

A simple passthru, the cable drops right out through the hole. Here is a pic;

Is that a Sonora Power inserter your using or an amplifier? Why?

Dr J also mentioned these in another thread, will take a close look at these and the plates Harsh mentioned.
thanks guys.

No problems at all, and this connector will work with RG6 and RG6 Quad Shield cable.

That is the Sonora HRPID1422 polarity locker / power inserter. Why?
Just playing safe. I was concerned about loss of signal with use of two swm's, length of cables that i am using and what you see is connected to the distribution panel with many jumper cables. I installed this setup about six months ago and did not have any problems yet.
