Overview

The Vimar VM01643 is a 75 ohm IEC Ø 9.5 mm coaxial TV socket outlet with axial cable entry in an ivory finish.

It gives you a clean, serviceable female TV coax connection point on an RG59 run, which is common when routing an antenna feed to a television or splitter on board. The axial entry keeps the cable coming straight out of the connector, which helps when you are dressing coax inside a locker, behind joinery, or inside a small electrical box.

Insulated mounting adds a layer of separation from nearby metalwork, but it is still good practice to mount it where it stays dry and where the coax can be supported so vibration does not work the cable loose over time.

Key features

• IEC Ø 9.5 mm female coaxial TV socket outlet
• 75 ohm impedance for standard TV signal distribution
• Axial cable entry for a straight, in-line cable exit
• RG59 cable type compatibility
• Insulated mounting
• Ivory finish for a clean, traditional look in interiors

Compatibility and fit

This outlet is meant for TV coax systems that use IEC Ø 9.5 mm connections and 75 ohm cabling. It is a good match when the rest of the run is RG59 and you need a female socket endpoint for a TV lead, an extension lead, or a distribution component that expects an IEC plug connection.

Installation and setup

Plan for the axial cable exit and leave enough clearance so the coax is not forced into a sharp bend right at the connector. When preparing RG59, take care to keep the braid and foil tidy and to avoid nicking the center conductor. On boats, add strain relief to the cable nearby and keep the connection away from bilges, condensation drip paths, and washdown zones unless it is housed inside an appropriate enclosure.

Use on board

This part fits well on boats that run a shore or masthead antenna feed to TVs in the saloon and cabins and want a simple, serviceable coax socket inside the interior. It is also handy for refits where you are cleaning up older coax terminations and want a consistent IEC-style endpoint.
