I use standard copper pipe compression fittings if the cable is the aluminum 75 ohm cabel tv line. They work great.

Well, they do make female F connectors for anything up to .750, but normally it's terminated with pin connectors. The pin connectors though are useful as a starting point to transition to UHF.

Is this 75 Ohm CATV cable?

If so, there are NO standard adapters or connectors. The cable TV
industry does not use "connectors" on this type of coax. The cable
connects directly to the device through a hole in the side of the device.
