Sky Q box male connector broken

[StephenB76]

One of the 2 male connectors that screw into the back of my Sky Q box is broken. The thin piece of copper has snapped and is causing my picture to be pixilated. Can I replace this connector, and if so what type of connector do I need to buy? TIA

@StephenB76  It's a F-connector either screw on or crimp on, screw on would be best.

@GD1 Thanks for the quick response👍 . Do these come in different sizes or are they just standard and will fit my Sky cable?

@StephenB76  All are standard size.

When the length of coaxial cable is below around 45 metres Sky will have used a thin CT63 / WF65 specification cable, for coaxial cable lengths between 45 metres and 75 metres then Sky will have used a thicker CT100 / WF100 specification.

So, you will probably require an F type screw on connector suitable for CT63 / WF65 coaxial cable.
