  • Hi there, It is not quite the same procedure if you go to this link there is a very good video rhat demonstrates very clearly Good Luck ...

    davesull13 how to wire an F connector

  • thanks so much for this video my partner has been trying to hook the thing up for a few days with no luck but now i hes done it your way and i can finally watch my programs again! thanks sooo much

  • @TheHotness1988 My pleasure...Iam pleased that it helped..

  • if you want a more solid connection, put the back screw on, then the collet, then strip the cable and bring the collet forward and fold the wire back over the outside of the collet... then put the center pin on nice and snug to the collet. when you screw it up, not only does the collet compress the ends on to the rubber jacket of the coax, it also compresses the outer wire between the collet and centre pin assembly making for a much stronger cable joint and grounding.

  • @kiwirock30 I thankyou for your input and of course you are perfectly correct and it is the correct way as the collet is self tightening !

    I made this video specifically for my teenage son who did not have any tools and was working with a used coax plug and rather battered collet....but his mum was pleased as she could now watch the tele.

    What is amazing is the amount of hits this video has had but it does seem to have helped a lot of folk working with similar circumstances...Kind regards

  • Try this link !
