E41: Coax Cable PL259 Crimp Connector

[@yardsale781]

Another good, informative video. I had tried splicing cable TV wire and didn't do a very good job. So I never tried pl 259 for that reason. I think I will try it next time, thanks.

Do you think there is any benefit to using heat shrink tubing over the ferrule after crimping?

[@PartisanCommsGroup]

I think it may help keep out moisture and debris, as well as make for a more rugged cable.
