Install Instructions

Coaxial Installation Steps

Step 3 – Terminate

Compression F-Style

Press the connector onto the cable until the white dielectric

is even with the center hole of the connector.

Place the prepared connector completely into the tool’s compression

chamber. When the connector is in place, squeeze the tool handles

together until the connector is fully compressed.

Step 4 – Testing

Test the cable with a continuity tester to make sure the connector

is properly terminated with no opens or shorts. One common failure

occurs when a small strand of uncut braiding comes in contact with

the center conductor after termination, causing a short in the cable.

Crimp F-Style

Insert stripped cable into connector until the white dielectric

is even with the center hole. Crimp per the tool’s instructions.

Compression BNC

Insert stripped cable into BNC connector

until the white dielectric reaches a point

where you can feel the center conductor

connect with the inner center pin socket.

Compress per your tool’s guidelines.

(NOTE: To help approximate how much

cable to push into the connector for the center

conductor to make contact, you can do the

following: Hold stripped cable against the con-

nector as shown in photo to the right. End of

center conductor should line up with top of the

knurled ring of connector. Mark cable where

it meets end of conductor. This mark shows

how far to insert cable fully seat conductor.)
