Vivanco 43063 RF Coax Plug - Coax Socket 3m Lead vs 47017 Scart Connection Lead 2M — Comparison

43063 is the Vivanco 43063 RF Coax Plug - Coax Socket 3m Lead, priced at £3.97, while 47017 is the Vivanco 47017 Scart Connection Lead 2M, priced at £4.97. Both are low-cost Vivanco TV accessories, but they sit in different connection categories: the 43063 is for RF coaxial aerial-style links, while the 47017 is for SCART connections on older AV equipment.

The 43063 offers moulded plugs, an RF coaxial plug, 3m length and shielded cable. It is intended for carrying aerial or RF coax signals between a socket, TV or compatible device. The 47017 offers versatile connectivity, a directional transfer switch and a 2m length. It does not provide the 3m reach or shielded RF cable specification of the 43063, but it supports SCART-based equipment where signal direction matters, such as connecting older DVD players, recorders, VCRs or legacy set-top boxes.

Choose the 43063 if you need a basic aerial lead and your priority is connecting a TV to an RF coaxial source. Its 3m length gives more room to route the cable behind furniture, and the £3.97 price keeps the cost low. The 47017 is the better choice if your equipment uses SCART rather than coax, particularly where a directional transfer switch helps avoid connection confusion. It costs £1 more and is 1m shorter, so it is not a like-for-like upgrade; it is the right buy only when the socket type matches your older AV setup.

Bottom line: choose 43063 if you need a 3m RF coaxial aerial-style lead / opt for 47017 if you need a 2m SCART cable with a directional transfer switch for legacy TV equipment.
