Power adapter ShiverPeaks IEC to F socket 85324-EC for connecting IEC equipment to F-type coaxial outlet

ShiverPeaks adapter 85324-EC converts an IEC connector to an F-type (female) socket, enabling connection of IEC-terminated power or signal cables to F-type coaxial outlets. The adapter is a passive mechanical interface without active electronics, designed to provide physical compatibility between devices that use an IEC connector and wall or equipment outlets that use an F-type coaxial socket. It is compact and intended for straightforward retrofit and temporary wiring situations where a direct mating of dissimilar connector types is required.

Advantages

The adapter offers a compact, tool-free solution for connecting IEC-terminated cables to F-type sockets, preserving cable routing and avoiding rewiring. Its passive design ensures no impact on signal electronics or power conversion, and the simple mechanical construction minimizes points of failure. The device is lightweight and easy to store or carry as a spare part for AV setups, set-top boxes, and legacy equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting AV equipment with IEC connectors to F-type coaxial wall outlets
• Temporary or emergency adaptation when interfacing legacy devices and modern cabling
• Set-top boxes and cable TV equipment that require physical connector adaptation
• Test setups and field service where quick mechanical compatibility is needed

Key specifications

• Input connector type: IEC (female/male orientation matches IEC-terminated cable)
• Output connector type: F-type female coaxial socket
• Function: passive mechanical adapter without signal amplification or conversion
• Construction: compact, lightweight housing suitable for desktop and in-wall outlet use
• Compatibility: designed for standard IEC and F-type coaxial cable form factors

How to use

Connect the IEC-terminated cable to the adapter’s IEC end and then insert the adapter’s F-type socket into the corresponding F coaxial plug or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are aligned and seated firmly to maintain a stable mechanical and electrical contact. As the adapter is passive, no power-up or configuration steps are required; once physically connected, the cable and device can be used as intended. Use caution to avoid excessive bending or axial strain on the cable when the adapter is installed.

Recommendations

Use the adapter for mechanical compatibility only; it does not convert signal types or voltages. For persistent installations, verify mechanical fit and strain relief to avoid connector fatigue. Do not expose the adapter to moisture or corrosive environments, and store it in a dry place when not in use.
