[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 988902, member: 176704"] Don't know if anyone else has seen these before, but I haven't: [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150847413021"]5 x F MALE to F MALE STRAIGHT COUPLER ADAPTER JOINER Coax TV connector[/URL] I was looking for something to couple the Male connectors on some Smart Priority Switches to line amps, and came across them - very well made and work well (bought 10x in the end), except that the body is shiny S/S. That means it is difficult to prevent it swivelling when you tighten a coupling nut, and that can cause an already tightened nut at the other end to loosen. Would have been better if the body had had a serrated finish so you can grip it securely with pliers. Just a thought - might also help on the rear panel of a sat Rx (etc.) if all the connectors are close together and that makes it difficult to tighten the F-connector nuts on the incoming cables . Using these you could fit them first and then space some of the actual cables a little further away from the panel so as to be more accessible. Very useful if you need something like this, or even to just keep a few in the tool box "just in case". [/QUOTE]
