Good—Twist-On Connector

Twist-On connectors simply thread onto the outer

jacket of the cable after it has been stripped. They

require no additional tools to install. Just twist the

connector onto the cable until it is fully seated.

Best—Push On Connector

After properly stripping the cable and folding back the

braiding, this connector is “pushed” onto the cable until

the white dielectric is even or flush with the small opening.

The push-on connector is a permanent termination and

cannot pulled off. Ideal for indoor applications and retrofits.

Pro—Compression Connector

Professionals use compression connectors because they

are approved, and in most cases—required, by cable and

satellite providers. With the proper stripping and terminat-

ing tools, anyone can install compression connectors.

The major advantage in using compression connectors

is that they provide for permanent watertight connection.

Better—Crimp On Connector

Crimp connectors use a crimping tool to install the con-

nector onto the end of the cable. After stripping the cable,

the connector is pushed onto the cable. Simply load the

connector into the correct hole in the tool and squeeze

the tool until it releases (more detailed

instructions included in tool).
