I have dual coaxial TV cables that were installed before the walls were finished in my house. There is already installed a connector on each end of each wire, for a total of 4 connectors. I think at least one of these connectors is faulty and needs to be replaced. How do I determine which connectors are good, and which need to be replaced? Perhaps the wire is open, but I can't test the wire without first testing the connectors, or can I?
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 Giovanni Pugliese MD Telecom & Security ITALY
Good informative video but a couple of things I'd like to point out for beginners is that you need to be very care pulling the jacket and everything off with the tool.. The blade can potentially score the center conductor cause certain frequencies (most commonly hd signals) to drop off.. You will have signal but there might be a few channels missing.. Also another huge pointer is the the braid (the metal hairs) need to be laid back before putting on your connector.. If any of the braid comes in
On your stripping tool...you need to take the rounded ball edge and insert it into the slot, which will make it so you don't have to squeeze the tool...it has it's own tension. Just FYI (i'm a cable tech)
Also remember, coaxial cable is an antenna and does not work the same way as power. Simple conductivity is not good enough and will cause problems. The center conductor is typically also steel with a thin copper coating. If this coating gets scratched or cut it can cause signal problems, as radio frequency travels on the outside copper portion of the antenna.
Make sure to peel the braiding back before putting the connector on, it makes it easier to put on and reduces the chance of it touching the center conductor and shorting it out. Make sure the dielectric (inner white part) is flush with the connector so the connection stays shielded properly. Screw on connectors are junk, don't use them. Hex crimp is okay but run the risk of partially pulling off and causing "suck out". Compression is the reliable way to go.
Thanks for showing.

You told us where I can purchased the stripper.But can you tell me where canI purchase the compression tool.

@davzam1 I was using one of my first cameras. It is a cheap pile of crap and doesn't focus.

@kevin21255 Your welcome. The compression ends like I use in the video work so much better than others available.
