Review on Gold Plated F Type Right Angle Female to Male Adapter by Monoprice 106775 by Tanya Gutierrez

These connectors will slow down your broadband speed by approximately 30%

In short, this article will slow down your broadband speed by approximately 30%. For more details read on: My main reason for purchasing this item was to make the most of the limited space I have in my apartment and I figured this little device would allow me to move the dresser closer to the wall place. In this regard, this device succeeded. I have a question for you though: this work reduces your speed performance by almost a third?! Definitely not. Before installing, I checked my internet speed before using this connection and I've easily reached 120-125 Mbps using Comcast internet. After using the connector, I only got 80-85 Mbit/s. This is a very significant reduction! So I tried a different brand of plug, thinking maybe the manufacturer was the problem. For reference, I have purchased and used both this item and the MediaBridge product found here: Mediabridge F-Type Corner Adapter - Gold Plated - 90° Female to Male - 5 pcs. - (Part number CONN-F81G-RA-5). Both subjects performed equally poorly. And before anyone asks, yes I've tried it a few times. This has nothing to do with build quality or craftsmanship. This signal degradation appears to be inherent in this type of connector. My advice to you: DO NOT buy this connector or anything similar. Under no circumstances should you reduce your Internet speed by about 30% just to save an inch of space. Just buy drywall/coax clips for $3 a pack and save space. It won't affect your broadband speed and is easier to do anyway. you have been warned
