scallywagger77 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I see i'm a few week late on this but maybe this will be helpful to others in the future. If the f connector is correct for the cable it should slip right on but if not a 7/16th nut driver over the end of the connector will help, also make sure the aluminum braid is pulled back evenly. If your cable is quad shield there will be braid, foil, braid. Make sure the foil is removed from between the two layers of braid to make the connector slip on easier. If no compression tool is available try using two pair of channel locks to compress the connector, you might need a helper with this. A properly prepped cable will have 1/4" exposed copper center conductor and another 1/4" with only the outer cover removedIf any strands of braid touch the center conductor the end will be grounded and will not work.
