A coaxial cable from the cable provider screws onto a threaded connector. Which connector is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The provider's coax twists onto threads. You want an F-type connector. A fiber latch, a network plug, and a drive-power plug do not screw onto that cable.
Full Explanation
An F-type connector is the threaded connector used on coaxial cable, including the cable from a cable provider. The cable in the stem screws on, so it is F-type. LC is a small fiber connector with a latch. It is not threaded coax. RJ45 is the eight-position plug for twisted pair. It does not screw onto coax. Molex is a power connector for drives and older fans. The provider does not use it for this cable. Exam caveat: finger-tight is the usual fit. A connector that is cross-threaded will not be the solid connection the modem expects. Operational check: screw the F-type connector onto the modem or the wall plate and confirm the modem's link comes up. Do not overtighten the connector. A cross-threaded plug will not seat.
