Really appreciate the fact that you showed options on how to do it at home w/o specially designed tools. I have one cable in my house that needs repairing so this was very helpful.

@G5questman 2 месяца назад

Thank you for in depth up close video.I bought cheap connectors in kit like you use and struggled to compress them to stay on. This video helped show exactly what to do.

@Phurlo 4 года назад

You should still pay for a technician. Most cable companies say they charge but it's up to the Tech if he wants to charge and well, most of us dont. Taking shortcuts with this stuff comes with serious consequences. Sometimes not for yourself but for your neighbors if other frequencies start to leak into an improperly connected fitting.

@rathalostitanXII 5 лет назад

So I actually do this for a living and I would highly recommend to buy the proper tools for this. The reason for this, is because of the complexity of information that goes through these cables now a days, a simple score of the center conductor, or even having a center conductor too long or too short, can cause issues. By the way, the foam part is called a dielectric. 😑

@pmAdministrator 4 года назад

You only need a tool if you dont know how to measure it to the standard and cut it yourself. You can spend money on a tool or you can just use a measuring tape, blade and your eyes to do it.

I bought a kit with strippers, crimping tool and good connectors and I had to use it when mowers hit wires Dish did not bury deep enough or for my own use running wires to TVs. For what I spent on those junk screw in connectors that come off, I could of paid for the professional kit years ago, and saved myself the time and aggravation of the cheap connectors falling off. Put tools and connectors in a nice zip canvass bag and hang in garage or place after every use. Your picture will be better and savings alone on screw in connectors and trying to cut wire to exact length will more than offset the cost of the kit. Just don’t let anyone borrow it or when you need it, I found they have it hanging on their garage wall thinking I forget. Hate folks that borrow stuff and have to call to get it back or they bring stuff back dirty or broken. They ruined it for other folks that wanted to borrow stuff.

@schulz461 10 лет назад

FYI. The center conductor on rg-6 cable is copper-clad steel. Buy using a razor blade you are most likely severing the copper, thus losing most of your outer band. Kline Tools makes the best coax stripper I have ever used and it costs $11 at Home Depot.

You need to be really careful when running the razor around the center conductor because all the signal travels on the outside of it. If you scratch it or cut into it you could get intermittent issues and repeat trouble calls.

If you don't have a razor blade, you can also use some kind of knife(kitchen or pocket). I have done that for years going back to the analog only days decades ago when they had the rectangular brown, wrap around the TV screw cables(used to be popularized by the large outdoor antennas) and on the cylindrical black or white cables that you buy in stores with the pin tip.

@borthewolf3376 9 лет назад

First cut the core free. The outer sleeve will protect and keep the braid in place while you are cutting. It gives a much cleaner cut. Then make your second cut to expose the braid and foil. Never cut all the way, scratch the vinyl partially so the knife does not touch the core (first cut) or the braid (second cut). Then pull the vinyl or foam, it will tear along the scratch you made. Much better is to use tools designed for the job. These tools guarantee a good cut without damage to the core/braid and they cut at exactly the right spot. Why not spend a few dollars for the right tools?. They are cheap compared to what you spend on your TV equipment.

The tool made for stripping the cable does far better job than a razor blade, if you’re going to make your own connections, get the correct tools. All of the compression fittings were good, but not the twist on fittings. They can easily fall off and just cause problems. I replaced every one that I saw when I worked at Comcast on installs and trouble calls.

@Matthew-nm4bl 2 года назад

Please do not use twist on fittings. You will cause ingress/egress and create noise back feeding into the plant interfering with not only yours but your neighbors on the same node. Which could result in a preventative maintenance tech at your door or worse your services being deactivated until fixed. All depending on how much your cable company values their quality of service. If you are doing this just for an antenna please disregard this. You can always stop at your local cable company and get a professional cable to needed length and their standards for free. Keep fittings screwed on tight please. Cable technician here.

@olatunbosundare6073 9 лет назад

This is an awesome video, however, I still think tools are made for you to do the job effectively and efficiently, the tools don't cost that much. and if you are dealing with coax cable jobs, best if you might as well get the tool. Using the blade, if not being careful, you can cut your fingers by mistake, or even get cut from the shield, or even cut it out of the proper length. If it just a quick job and you are a pro, then you can avoid the tools, but if it a major job of running cables such as extending your tv signal cable , just like what I am about to do, get the tools, it is definitely worth it...

@garyr7027 6 лет назад

For 20 bucks at Amazon you can buy the crimper, strippers, and 10 f type connectors in a kit. Those screw on type connectors are junk, all they do is ruin the cable. When crimping a new connector, it isn't necessary to peel back the braided wire overlapping the outer insulater, it's why you had a tough time putting that connector on. If done right those connectors slide right on fairly easy, just leave the braided wire as is.

@bryanschannel6452 7 лет назад

Quick question. I'm prewiring my house and noticed that if I do not shorten the braid in my RG6 to approximately 4mm, it will extend past the barrel connectors once they are compressed on. Some sites seem to recommend cutting any braid that extends after compressing the connector on but I'm hesitant to take a razor blade to coax. Is it okay to simply cut the RG6 braid to roughly 4mm and compress on as usual or is this likely to cause me signal degradation? Thanks in advance for your reply.

@redskyatnight165 7 лет назад

As the guy who's gonna have to come fix this: Leave a lot of extra cables at your outlets and wherever you're going to make the main connections. (for a couple reasons). 1. If you have extra braiding you can pull the connector off and try again without compressing. Just cut off what you just did and do it again till you get it right. A tiny bit of braiding isn't the end of the world but if it comes into contact with anything you risk a short. 2. When you want to put these connections to use, the technician will have enough extra wire to cut off your connectors and to them right. It's common practice for technicians to do "the last mile" i.e. Install the F connectors and connect them to wall plates. So you really don't have to worry about it in the first place. Also, most technicians are so annoyed with people telling them that they didn't mess with the wiring (after they obviously did) that if you ask them to do it correctly most will just take care of it so they know it's done right. Thanks and good luck.

To do it without a compression tool, use 2 large sets of pliers on either side of the fitting and sqeeze them evenly. It sucks, but not much else you can do if your crimper breaks.
