Do you think this is better or using a crimping style connector? This method seemingly assures that you will have a stronger connection but I'm not sure. What does your experience tell you?
The Crimp on connector provides a tighter connection to the cable because you are able to use the leverage of a tool to really force it on there. It is preferred by the techs here at ApexCCTV, but if you treat your cable and connections right you shouldn't have any issues with either connector.
About 1/4" is good. Like the video says, you initially strip enough of the outer insulation off to equal the length of the screw-on section of the connector. Then you cut off just a little less (about 1/4") of the inner insulation. Remember, you can always trim any core wire that comes too far through the connector.

Hi,
I have seen that you uploaded a video on YOUTube regarding how to mount a coaxial connector
Please have a look at our videos and you will reman really amazed by our patented coaxial connection system, called CaP System.
It is so easy that it is even quicker than pre-connectorized cables.
If you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards

nice video, any idea on a measurement of how much of the core insulation to leave? looks around 1/4 of what you had cut off origionally.
I dont want to leave the centre core too short so that it makes a good connection.
