You may need one of these https://www.diy.com/departments/slx-f-type-satellite-cable-coupler/5028422001905_BQ.prd?gclid=EAIaIQ...

Or the end may have a termination cap fitted which will need unscrewed and removed.

You need the coupler as advised. This will allow the Quickstart cable to be fitted.
