a coaxial cable. The center pins are surrounded by an insulating dielectric which is usually Teflon, although other materials can be chosen to provide the desired performance. The final component is the cable shield, or housing of the connector. This is designed to terminate to the shield of ...
This is where things start to differ with the right Joy-Con. Remove the antennae, remembering how it was initially placed in its socket. Once lifted out of place, take the sharp point of your spudger and detach the antennae’s coaxial cable from the motherboard. Step 7: Both Joy-Con...
If you have a coaxial cable line hooked up to expensive equipment, consider a cable surge protector. Surges on these lines can do just as much damage as surges over power lines. Surge Protection Levels All surge protectors are not created equal. In fact, there is a tremendous range in ...
An F connector is a fitting that connects a coaxial cable to an electronic device or a wall jack. It contains threads that allow you to screw the cable onto a TV, cable wall outlet, or other electronic devices. You may not have these special tools. However, you might own a basic cable...

Cable Internet customers may need to power an amplifier If you have a cable ISP, there’s a small chance your home network uses an amplifier that also needs power for your internet to work. Amplifiers use a coaxial cable to transfer power from an outlet back to the amplifier, so look for...
Today’s processor sockets use ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) installation. This means you only have to fit the processor into place and secure it with a latch, without applying extra pressure that could bend pins out of place. This innovation came into use with Intel’s Socket 1 in 1989, whi...
For instance, you can use an SMA extension cable with a magnetic base for your radio transmitter. These cables are suitable for both 900MHz (Crossfire & ExpressLRS) and 2.4GHz systems (ExpressLRS, Ghost, Frsky). Keep in mind, though, that a long coaxial cable can also lead to signal los...
