Ideal Industries 89-044 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the IDEAL 89-044 OmniConn F connector work with my existing compression tool, or do I need an IDEAL tool?
The OmniConn F connector compresses to the industry standard 21mm length, so it works with most non-IDEAL compression tools. IDEAL names the 30-793 OmniSeal PRO XL and the 33-632 Linear X3 as its recommended compression tools. One real exclusion: the plastic sleeve on the OmniConn F is wider than usual, so it is not compatible with the 35-046 and 35-042 F insertion/removal tools.
2) What coax cable does the IDEAL 89-044 connector actually fit?
It is cable specific: RG-6 coax only. The fit is defined by two diameter ranges, a dielectric diameter of .175 inch to .183 inch and an outer jacket diameter of .260 inch to .280 inch. Center conductor size is not a limitation, it accepts all. If your cable measures outside those jacket or dielectric ranges, this is the wrong connector, even if the spool is labeled RG-6.
3) Can these F compression connectors be used outdoors on exterior drops and ground blocks?
Yes. The OmniConn F is a WeatherProof design with an internal O-ring and a patented back seal that blocks moisture migration, rated for indoor and outdoor use. Construction is nickel plated brass with a plastic body. That makes it suitable for exterior drops, pedestals and dish runs as well as inside walls.
4) Can a Leviton ML2-C connector be used in place of an IDEAL 89-044 coax connector?
No. The IDEAL 89-044 OmniConn F compression connector is a coaxial cable fitting that terminates RG-6 coax with a 7/16 inch nut and 3/8-32 thread for cable and satellite TV signal runs, rated 0 MHz to 3 GHz. The Leviton ML2-C is a midget connector for electrical wiring, sold 100 per pack. The two serve different circuits entirely - one carries a 75 ohm RF signal, the other carries line power - so they are not interchangeable in either application.
5) I need a weatherproof connector for an outdoor run - is the IDEAL 89-044 the right one, or a Bryant WPC?
It depends on what the run carries. The IDEAL 89-044 OmniConn F connector is the outdoor-rated choice for RG-6 coax: it uses an internal O-ring and a patented back seal to block moisture migration, so it is suited to indoor and outdoor cable and satellite TV terminations. The Bryant WPC Series is a weatherproof wiring connector fitting for electrical wiring, not a coax termination. Match the connector to the cable - RG-6 coax to the 89-044, power conductors to the WPC fitting.
6) Will the IDEAL 89-044 pass MoCA and high-band satellite signals, or is it only good for basic cable TV?
The connector is specified from 0 MHz to 3 GHz with return loss better than 30 dB across that whole range, which covers cable TV, broadband data and satellite IF bands. It is built for 75 ohm coax and intended for cable and satellite TV installations.
7) Will this F connector thread onto a standard splitter or wall plate port?
Yes. It uses the standard F-type interface, a 7/16 inch nut diameter with 3/8-32 thread, which is what splitters, ground blocks, amplifiers and F wall plates are tapped for. A 7/16 inch wrench is the right size for tightening.
8) Is this the same kind of connector as a Leviton or Pass & Seymour weatherproof connector?
No, and this is a common mix-up when searching by the word connector. The IDEAL 89-044 is a coax signal connector for RG-6 cable and carries no power. Products like the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W Series watertight connector or the Bryant WPC Series weatherproof wiring connector fitting are line-voltage power devices. If you need to terminate a TV or data coax drop, the F compression connector is the right part; if you are making up a 20A cord connection, it is not.
9) For a healthcare facility, does the IDEAL 89-044 carry a hospital grade rating like the Leviton 8319-C?
The IDEAL 89-044 OmniConn F connector is an RG-6 coaxial compression fitting for signal cable, and grading of that type applies to power receptacles and connectors rather than coax fittings. If the requirement on the drawing is a hospital grade power device, the Leviton 8319-C is a hospital grade NEMA 5-20R connector supplied 100 per pack, and the Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector. Patient-room coax drops are still terminated with a coax connector such as the 89-044, which is rated to 3 GHz with greater than 30dB return loss.
10) What should I order instead of the IDEAL 89-044 for a 20 amp watertight power connection?
The IDEAL 89-044 OmniConn F connector terminates RG-6 coax with a .260 to .280 inch outer jacket range and will not serve a power circuit. For a watertight 20 amp power connection, the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W Series is a 20A watertight connector rated NEMA 4X/6P in yellow. For an industrial-grade straight blade cord connection, the Leviton 15W33 is a 3-wire 2-pole 125V 20A industrial grade connector.
11) How many connectors come in the IDEAL 89-044 and is it one bag or two?
The 89-044 is supplied at a pack size of 100. The connector itself is IDEAL's 6FOC model, so if you are matching to a spec sheet or reordering by connector designation rather than by pack number, 6FOC is the one to ask for.
