Question Which coax cable do i need for my router?

[Craimforce]

I wanted to extend my router's coax cable to another room.
I have bought an coax cable and some f connectors ( IEC female -> F-connector female and F-connector male ) it does not fit to my router.
Does anyone have any idea which one i should buy for my router?

Can you show photos of those cables/connectors you bought?

So that is the actual cable you purchased.

Why did you buy IEC ends. Does the wall jack where the cable comes in use IEC or F connectors. Mostly the difference is the F connectors screw on.

The modem needs a male f connector.

Most coax cables are male on both end no matter if you use IEC or F. IEC stuff is really old back from when it was used for over the air TV.

Just guessing but you likely are going to need a adapter that has IEC male to F male. That will convert the female end of the cable you have to F male and it will connect to the modem. As long as the other end plugs into the wall you should be good.

No. Those are wrong.
You need this type of cable.

What's on your wall outlet? An IEC Female with a pin or socket?

I would buy an RG6 patch cable with F type ends with the length you need. Then use the parts you have to convert to fit wall outlet.
