Electronics Facts : How to Wire Cable TV

To wire cable TV, purchase an RG-6 quad shield cable, cut the end of the cable neatly, strip the end of the cable, insert the wire into the plug, and use a compression tool to make a positive ground connection. Improve the quality of a cable television signal by re-wiring it with instructions from the owner of an electronics store in this free video on cable TV.

clutnuster is right. read his info. also in the professional realm the fittings used in this video are second best for outside use. if you have the money, spring for compression fittings from PCT International, they are completely weatherproof whereas this blue digicon in the video will allow corrosion, although at a very slow rate.

3rd, putting new F-Connectors on a piece of cable will not get you a better picture quality unless your existing ones are bad, installed incorrectly, or letting ingress (RF signals) into the cable. It's a good idea to use those nice compression fittings (especialy outside) because they last longer, they are waterproof as you mentioned, and can prevent future problems, but they do not improve picture quality.

2nd, your information about signal loss is completely incorrect. Where you got 125' of cable has no signal loss is beyond me. All cable has loss. For example, the RG-6 cable you are using for every 100' it loses 1.5db of signal on the low band at around 55MHz but on the high band at around 750MHz it attenuates a lot more losing around 5.62db for ever 100'. If your signal is already low, adding another 125' of cable could easily mean trhe difference between a clear or staticy picture.
