Replaced a Comcast cable that came with new X1 Modem that supports WiFi6...
Had a comcast tech out and he ran a new home run to connect the new X1 modem in our dinning room rather than my office - he check connection for DB drop before he left and found at the end of the cable that would connect to the new modem, a 3db drop, well within spec....(FYI - WiFi 6 supported Asus adapter in desktop, 870+ mgs a second 30' away!!) The cable though required modem to sit 3-4 inches from wall so I was checking on Cable reviews, Found these were extremely highly rated, made in Germany and priced very fair. Got it then needed another tech a couple days after installing this cable to fix Comcast Home alarm system - She tested the cable and found only a 1 db drop with the new cable! That and the shear quality of the construction...I am extremely happy and am replacing ALL my cables to everything even from external HD antenna with these!

Why are cables with right-angle connectors so difficult to find?
I ordered these cables because I could find only one supplier of right-angle "F" type connectors. The cost to construct my own cables with these connectors was greater than the cost of purchasing the cables from KabelDirekt.
I did find a number of suppliers who could provide adapters (as opposed to connectors), but the adapters would have introduced additional connection points (and potential for signal loss) that I wanted to avoid.
These cables did exactly what I had hoped to do.

Saved me from buying a new router
I almost pulled the trigger on several different WiFi routers this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. CHECK THE DOWNLOAD SPEEDS IN MY PICTURE. Our network is bogged down buy 40+ smart devices (plugs, light bulbs, TVs, phones, cameras, garage openers, doorbells and more). Pages have been taking forever to load and Cox suggested we had 150+ mbps speeds but we weren’t getting anything close to that. I just happened to notice the cable feeding the modem was torqued behind the furniture it was sitting on. I wanted an L coax adapter but they aren’t easy to find locally and have very mixed reviews. This cable came with two already on it so I said why not. Once the cable is screwed in it still rotates any direction. That’s a nice touch in my opinion.
Long story short, this $10 investment could save you hundreds. And even if it doesn’t solve your speed issues, it’s worth it on the functionality alone.

Used to connect cable modem
Hooked up to cable modem and incoming coax cable box. Works fine. I don't know if it's part of the design but one of the connectors swivels. For me, that's great because it helps control how the cable is placed behind the modem. I hand tightened the connectors and did not have a problem with the connectors breaking as some other buyers have had.

Perfect for my wall-mounted TV
I recently purchased an LG OLED TV and found that its coax cable socket faced back instead of sideways (unlike my old Samsung). As I wanted to wall-mount this set,I started looking for a right angle adapter for my existing cable, and learned that sometimes there can be some slight signal loss with these. Fortunately I found this KabelDirekt cable with an integrated right-angle connector. It is the perfect solution. One feature I like is that once the connector is screwed tight, it can still swivel, which prevents the connection from inadvertently loosening or overtightening should the cable be jostled.

Very happy
KabelDirekt 6 feet 75 Ohm HDTV SAT, TV Cable: Accidentally stumbled on this product,, didn't know it existed, was exactly what I needed. Very well made. I did note during installation that the knurled nut easily backed off due to cable movement, if your cable is not subject to movement once installed there is no problem. If the cable is subject to movement a tiny dab of Loctite or even nail polish will be sufficient to ensure a tight connection.

No issues, keeps everything tidy
I absolutely hate the cheap coax cables that ISPs use when they install equipment. They are always extremely rigid and difficult to screw/unscrew from both equipment and the wall. This cable is the exact opposite. It's very easy to attach or detach from equipment, and screwing it is easy and quick. Also love the right angled head, as it allows me to keep the cable neatly flush against the wall. No issues with throughput, does a great job. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing cable
The cable company for some reason gave me a 20' cable when the could have gave me a 6' cable. I bought this to eliminate all that extra cable I didn't need or ask for. This right angle connectors are the icing on the cake. This is a really nice cable quality and well designed I may be buying another soon. At least I know what brand to buy this next time. Thank you.

Should have bought right angle coax cables YEARS ago
The cable is very nice looking for when you do see it. I am fascinated at how I have lived 33 years of my life without ever using a right angle coax cable. Every jack in the house should have one of these! My Christmas wish list now contains about 13 cables... of varying lengths! And I only need three for my house! The rest are because I love this thing so much!

So far it works really well
I ony use this for my internet connection and wanted the right angle to keep my cable closer to the wall, it makes it easier to keep the cable close to the wall. A friend who works for the cable company that happens to provide my internet recommended against it, said they ran into all kinds of problems with right angle cables, but so far it is working well.
Question & Answer
Question :
The dimensions are stated as 180 x 15.9 x 1.9 in. 180" = 15", which is the length of the cable. What is the 15.9" and 1.9" measurements referring to?
Answer :
Assuming the 180 is the length (15' -- the one I ordered was 3'), the smallest dimension may be for the plug itself: the longer part of the "L" is about 1.25" and the shorter part (the part with the F-type connector) is just under an inch. As for the 15.9, I have no clue (the same dimension on my 3' cable says 12.9). I will say that my 3' one works great and, with the angled plugs, creates less clutter behind the TV.
Question :
Are these 6g?
Answer :
RG-6/U for TV
Question :
Does it support 1 Gbps cable modem?
Answer :
Sorry I do not know, we used them for the wall hung TV so cables not sticking out straight from wall etc. We hide the wires in the wall. Work great for TV but not sure about modems etc.
Question :
Is this sufficient for Xfinity gigabit internet?
Answer :
Grandson has new Xbox series X and we have the Xfinity cable and gigabyte internet and he has no issues with lag. Your mileage may vary but I think it’s as good as any other cable
Question :
Is there white color option available for this cable?
Answer :
no
Question :
Will this support 3GHz data transmission?
Answer :
Yes
Question :
Rg59 or rg6? listing does not mention at all.
Answer :
The cable is RG-6/U
Note, this cable is Coax, not 4 twisted pair. It's typical for TV.
Question :
would it be better to get the coaxial cable with one end 90 degree angled & the other end straight or is it better to get both ends 90 degree angled?
Answer :
It depends on how close your TV is to the wall and where your cable comes out of the wall. I have a cabinet that my TV sits on and I wall mounted my TV up above. Both needed to be it right up against the wall so I bought the cable with 90 degree angle on both ends.
Question :
I need this as an extension cable for rv tv Does this include a male connecto to extend to tv
Answer :
It does NOT include a female coupler. It's a MALE to MALE cable. You may need this:

Question :
Satellite and cable is mentioned but does this work with simple OTA rooftop tv antenna's?
Answer :
It's not weather-proofed, meant for indoor use but would work for antenna installation.
