Thanks Dennis. Even 2 years later, your video is of enormous use. I have EXACTLY the same tools/connectors. Your explanation is easy to follow. Excellent work 🙂
Thank you
Thank you. I ordered the exact same tool from Amazon BUT it came without instructions. Thanks to you all is good. 😊
The width of the prep tool is such that, by lining the end of the coaxial cable to the edge of the notch, the "stinger" (the cleaned center conductor) will be the proper length.
When selecting tools, I opted to go with higher end models that don't require adjustments (Cable Prep's "Super CPT Cable Stripping Tool" and a "Cable Pro" LCCT-S59-11). Admittedly overkill & expensive for most people, but they work extremely well. 🙂
Use of tri-shielded and quad-shielded cables will require a bit more preparation than dual shielded cables. Tri-shield RG6 is fine for most residential applications, while quad is good for installations where interference is a problem.
All in all, a fine video!
Thank you
Great video. I like the way you do your vids, no BS and you know what you're doing. For some I'd like to add a cpl of tricks / hints. Make sure there is no metal on the dialectic after you strip the coax. Make sure there is no dialectic residue on the copper center conductor, some cheaper coax will leave a little on it which can give you issues. The dialectic can and should stick out of the connector about 1/32 to 1/16", if it's flush you stand a chance of it backing down some. If your coax is stiff you can heat it a little before you crimp to help the connector slide on easier. you can let the coax extend further out of the stripper when stripping and then cut to length after crimping. One more... don't expect the center conductor to be solid copper. All high frequency coax is copper clad steel wire.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Dennis...I purchased the same exact kit for a DIY project and was clueless on how to use it. Your video walked me through the process perfectly...thanks for your help on this and for making this video. Cheers!
You’re welcome & Thank you!
Thanks for the upload. I bought the same kit a couple years ago for full coax connect throughout my house project. I also bought a coax tester for multi purposes
Love that compression...so satisfying when there's resistance...
Thanks for the instruction tutorial. Only thing that it was saying double talk on the parts and tools used.
You’re welcome
Thanks for the video; very informative. My kit from Amazon didn't include instructions so your vid was very useful.
The instructions were not much help.
Well paced and thorough.
Thank you
Good video, i'm redoing the routing of some of my coax with new tomorrow and i have had the same kit a couple of years now but i pulled up your video cause it's been a while since i'v used it. Thanks
Thank you
Awesome video!
Just ordered it from Amazon, and it's only $14.08!
Great no-Nonsense video !
Thank you
GOOD JOB !!! I JUST ORDERED ONE ON AMAZON ...
Thanks for the video. It helped me
You’re welcome
Much appreciated.
Have these compression style connectors mostly replaced the hexagonal kind you used to crimp?
Note: As said in the video.
These connectors are for DUAL shield cable. Will not work with QUAD shield cable due to thickness of cable.
Termination process is slightly different for QUAD shield cable also.
Thanks for the video! I subscribed
Thank you and you’re welcome
Good job….
thanks for the video.
Good video bro 🤝
Thank you
What do these then plug into? I need to join 2 coax cables.
Does it make any difference if you use rotate the v-block in the stripper and use the RG6 setting, also is it important to strip away the foil and fold the inner mesh down as well?
Yes it is important to fold them down and not allow them to make contact with the copper wire. The wire mesh is to prevent any electrical noise or static, shielding the copper wire. They are both used for interference and grounding.
For the RG6 Quad You should fold back 1st layer of braid then remove 1st layer of foil then fold back 2nd layer of braid then LEAVE 2nd layer of foil for shielding but make sure it doesn't touch center conductor.
On Double shield fold back the braid but leave the foil again making sure it doesn't touch center conductor.
Then Bam, Bobs your Uncle.
Thank you guy 🙏
You’re welcome
@@dennisliverani4293 Keep going brother 🙏
Thanks
You’re welcome
The outer mesh is a conductor.
did the crimp hold?
Yes. I haven’t had any problems with any of the connections I’ve made.
I would be careful using the Term CRIMP when this is actually a COMPRESSION tool and connector. Might be confusing for some, they might buy a crimp tool for compression connectors or vice versa.
How do you connect the two ends of the co-ax together?
Crimp both ends like he did and then use a butt slice connector.
Thanks
