I'm having a hard time finding something online, and I think half my problem is I don't know the correct term for what I am looking for.
I've seen RG-6 coax cables (often supplied by the cable company) with plastic pieces on the F connector ends, which make it very easy to tighten the connection by hand. I am not sure if these are integrated with the F connector itself, or a separate piece that slides over the connector.
I'd like to buy some of these, ideally as crimp on connectors, to make a number of short patch cables. Or buy some ready made cables if the price is not too bad (but I suspect I can do it for less myself, and I already have a crimp tool for F connectors). Is anyone familiar with these, and perhaps knows the term for them, so I can search around for solutions?
