DIY Oyaide FTVS-510 Streaming Digital F-Connector Cable

Posted by Duster (M) on November 15, 2016 at 23:31:19

Oyaide FTVS-510 75 ohm, solid core silver, bulk RG6 coaxial cable terminated with a Planet Waves Universal RG6Q Quad F-connector must be as good as it gets for digital CATV and internet modem/router applications. The 18 AWG solid core, pure silver center conductor when used with the center pin-less design of the Planet Waves tool-less F-connector is perfect. A clearly better sounding option than the Oyaide FTVS-510 terminated with a premium German-made ViaBlue F-connector. Buy a Radio Shack Gold F-connector coupler and secure it to a solid brass Baldwin CATV wall plate and you're good to go.

Note: The Planet Waves RG6Q Quad F-connector will accept up to a 7.55mm OD cable, however the OD of the Oyaide FTVS-510 coaxial cable is 8mm. If the end of the outer cable jacket is completely removed, the exposed braided shield and inner dielectric will fit into the connector entry point without issue. But first, the entire jacket, shielding, inner dielectric, and blue PTFE insulator must be cut-back 17mm to expose the solid core silver center conductor which will function as the center pin. Then, strip-off 15mm of the cable jacket and insert the exposed center conductor and exposed braided shield and inner dielectric directly into the Planet Waves Universal RG6Q Quad F-connector cable entry point, and tighten the set-screw. If a robust strain relief is wanted/needed, adhesive-backed heavy duty heat shrink can be secured to the ends of the coaxial cable.
