Over here we call it IEC antenna connector. F connectors are primarily used for satellite TV/radio.
When I was replacing the old TV antenna & coax in my house some years ago, I found that all the antenna splitters, etc which were available used "F" connectors.(I have so much signal level, that I could afford to use passive splitters)
RG6 was also the standard, although it is lossier than the old style "semi- air dielectric stuff we used to use.
The latter had a horrible wispy shield which would not be very effective in noisy locations, whereas RG6 has a very effective shield.
Compression "F" connectors are also made for RG59, but that cable has quite high attenuation at UHF.
Back in the day, my old work "piped" RF from off air around the building (mainly so the "suits" could see what the competition were up to).
We also had a couple of modulators so making the outputs of various studio available.
Some of the channel outputs used (then) "unused" UHF channels.
I had reason to replace a longish run of the old "antenna cable", but had run out, so tried using RG59.
On UHF, it was like fitting an attenuator, taking even the strong local modulator signal down into the noise!
