Installing the connectors on this cable is virtually impossible. We spent over 6 hours (we're trying to meet a deadline here so we HAD to try everything), using the correct trimming tool, reading and re-reading the instructions, and watching and re-watching the video, and can't get the back nut on sufficiently to install the metal C-clip. TESSCO recommended using the D01 series connector; same issue. Oddly enough, the video show the use of neither connector but rather the 43F-CF12-C03 connector. The fault seems to lie in the cable; the jacket is larger in diameter than standard 1/2" hardline so it won't fit properly into the back nut. I'm guessing the video is deliberately deceiving as to how "easy" it is to install connectors onto this cable. Just a real headache. My advice is to not bid on any job that specs this cable.
RFS is top of the line 👍🏼 dope song too.

Use Trilogy Airflex and Trilogy conenctors, its a lot easier and faster.
I’m having the same problem right now.
I need instructions not rave music WTF?
