4. Setup and Installation

The KabelDirekt SAT Cable is designed for straightforward installation. Follow these steps to connect your devices:

1. Identify Ports: Locate the F-type coaxial input port on your television, satellite receiver, cable modem, or wall outlet.
2. Connect First End: Gently screw one of the 90-degree angled F-connectors of the KabelDirekt SAT Cable into the corresponding port on your source device (e.g., wall outlet). Ensure it is finger-tight to secure the connection without over-tightening.
3. Adjust Angle (if needed): The angled connector can be rotated to achieve the desired cable routing, allowing for installation in tight spaces or flush against a wall. Loosen slightly, rotate, then re-tighten.
4. Connect Second End: Connect the other 90-degree angled F-connector to the input port of your receiving device (e.g., TV, satellite receiver).
5. Verify Connection: Ensure both ends are securely connected. A loose connection can result in signal degradation.
