Attaching a coaxial connector WITHOUT special tools! Quick method

[@ron-b7j5i]

Thanks for your help. I followed your instructions explicitly. I got my coax cables connected. YOU are the best!!!

[@SmokinLoken]

Very helpful video, thank you! I cut the washer off with a pair of tin snips.

[@yoursodumn]

Thanks a lot, worked like a charm

[@barbarybar]

Tip. Slip the washer over the cable connector end BEFORE you start trimming for the connector. It will be a pain to have to run the washer along say 20 metres or more of cable.

[@j.v.5137]

Good job! Nicely adapted and practical. Thanks for sharing FKH. BTW, the washer can also be cut at the end of the installation either with heavy-duty wire cutters or, a standard hacksaw with a fine tooth count (no special tools [^_^]) or, of course, with a Dremel tool if available.

Thanks for posting this.

[@carapungo]

very awesome bro. I will try it. Thanks for sharing.

[@porgeusa]

Thanks for using music that doesn't interfere w instructions.

[@Bacavoit]

Nice idea now I need the drill lol

[@janbill79]

I guess that's the method to use the "good ends", that don't need crimping, without the $30 dollar tool, I'm watching this to see what happen to my shield . I see when you cut the plastic away, there it is . I never see mine only that foil. The foil don't make a good connection when running the power out to the satellite dish or when using a uhf/vhf power booster with the power coming from the power source near the tv out to the pole and back. I'll have to strip mine by hand next time with out the fancy tool. I must be cutting of the mesh type wire shield with that cutter thing you twirl couple times in each direction. I see you find the good shielding but them cut it away. that's the good strong ground , I've even had to dig some of that out and twist it up and solder to the outside of the metal connector. I did that on both ends , and yes then I got my signal back. But that's a lot of work. I would just as soon learn to get the wire mesh to just fold back and then when installing the end thing , it would certainly touch it.

Hey, thank you for the video. short and sweet also very helpful.

[@raekc4839]

Why do you need the washer?

[@cahl615]

genius, thanx man

[@MrJrFish]

Thank you!

[@MikeysPsyche]

Nice method, but you're not supposed to cut off the wire mesh, this gives the connector and cable strength.

[@vinniesin23]

I agree, your not supposed to cut the braiding, but the braiding is a type of grounding for the cable.

[@firstdown5412]

It actually maintains continuity within the cable fitting. The fittings were designed to house the peeled back braid wrap and 1 shield layer. If you rid the cable of those two things, you've just created a trouble call.

[@2012isRonPaul]

i think there are automatic tools that cut it off too

[@AtlasReburdened]

I bet you could cut that washer off with a pair of legit medic's shears. I broke a pair once and decided to stress test the remains. Those things can cut through quarters like normal scissors would cut through cold butter. Takes a moment of umph and then it's pure give. Maybe the steel of the washer would be a bit too much though. Idk, I'm not a metallurgist.

[@ramvyasgupta1]

Please mention cost of connector ?

[@bradlomad4597]

How do I uncompress a connector for coaxial cable reinstallation?

[@tif321dc]

Cut it off and get a new one

[@cleatrampler]

Instead of wood I use the clamping part of a pipe flaring tool

[@erbicide]

can you just superglue it on there?

[@thefluroaussie1004]

You don't cut off the braiding.....you need that for proper grounding....it's there for a reason....🤦

[@dannyl6507]

Just use 2 pairs of pliers.

[@Robbo-qi2zl]

Interesting. But just knowing the washer was there would drive me bananas - OCD ;)

[@vinodmalhotra4594]

Just cut it using dremel

[@AJ-ri5ee]

Or wire cutters

[@JohnGodwin]

I feel like for most people, the chance of having some scrap lumbar lying around and then the right size drill bit is less likely than being within ten minutes of any hardware store that sells a compressor tool for like ten bucks

वुड के ऊपर स्केल मार्क क्या तो स्केल की जरूरत नही होगी

[@gregorydinning7978]

great attaching end to a short cable, doesnt help much when you have 60 ft of buried cable

[@malicedecay1]

You damaged the dielectric and didn't fold the braiding back

[@hotajax]

what's with the morbid music? Other wise great video

[@Poets04]

No..... Just.... No..... Why on earth would you cut off your shield? Fold it, the braid and the aluminum, back around the sheath. Then use the freaking proper tool to get an effective crimp and do the job there right way. When you have EMI/RFI on your devices you have no one to blame but yourself if you use this horrible method.

[@tango4628]

you could probably able to do it without the washer.

[@malicedecay1]

Also that's not rg6 cable

[@fatfuzzypotato6113]

You can just cut it off the wire

[@miserableguinea6892]

Sure, you CAN cut off the shield, but it's not the correct way to make the connection. These compression fittings count on the shield being over the outer jacket to properly compress.

[@mountainconstructions]

@@miserableguinea6892 Mine wont even go one with the shielding bent liek that

[@killrockit]

Washer idea doesn’t work if cable is long and through wall to cameras unless you leave the washer there. What I did was lay the connecting part on top of a piece of wood and rest a plier, around the round section of it which creates a perfect circle, and hammer it down a bit and turning it so it’s hammered on every side.

[@johnfors4032]

tool is $10, come on

[@deasename5839]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4fWcmawiLOCea8 here's how it's done!

[@leroyl9794]

I think I would just buy tool right tools look at all the crap you have to go through in this video 😂😂😂😂🤔😂😂😂😂

[@MikeSmith-wd4hn]

Title of video is misleading: it only applies to F-type connectors. Video title should make that clear.

[@cplofmarines83]

Or buy the 15 dollar tool and not get charged for the trouble call
