Adapter ShiverPeaks 85322 — IEC male (plug) to F female (socket) connector

The Adapter ShiverPeaks 85322 converts an IEC male (plug) connector to an F-type female (socket) connector. This passive adapter enables connection of devices that output via an IEC male connector to cables or wall outlets terminated with an F-type connector. It is intended for signal routing in TV, set-top box and antenna installations where compatibility between IEC and F connectors is required. The adapter has a compact design and provides a simple mechanical and electrical transition without active components.

Advantages

The adapter offers a straightforward mechanical conversion between IEC and F connectors, avoiding the need to replace existing cables or wall plates. Its passive design preserves the existing signal path without introducing amplification or active electronics. The small form factor simplifies installation in tight spaces behind receivers or on wall plates. Compatibility with common coaxial cable systems used for terrestrial and cable TV makes it a practical part for retrofit and maintenance work.

Suitable for

• Connecting a TV or set-top box with an IEC male output to an F-type cable or wall socket
• Adapting antenna feeds to equipment with IEC connectors
• Temporary or permanent transitions during installation or troubleshooting of coaxial systems

Key specifications

• Connector A: IEC male (plug)
• Connector B: F-type female (socket)
• Usage: passive adapter for coaxial signal routing
• Compatible cable type: standard 75 Ω coaxial for TV and antenna systems
• Typical contact diameter for F-connection: approx. 9.5 mm coax plug compatibility
• Form factor: compact inline adapter suitable for behind-equipment mounting

How to use

Attach the IEC male end of the adapter to the IEC female output on the device by aligning the plug and pushing it into place until secure. Connect the F-type coaxial cable by threading the cable's F-type male connector onto the adapter's F-type female socket until hand-tight. Ensure connections are snug to maintain reliable signal transfer but avoid over-tightening. No power or configuration is required; the adapter functions immediately once physically connected.

Recommendations

Use the adapter with standard 75 Ω coaxial cables and check that both mating connectors are clean and undamaged before installation. For longer cable runs or critical installations, verify signal quality after connection and consider using proper screened coaxial cabling and connectors. Avoid exposing the adapter to prolonged moisture or mechanical stress to maintain reliable performance.
