Thanks for the detailed instructions and clear video. I followed these instructions to install a RG6 faceplate for about $10. Verizon wanted $150 for the appointment.

Really appreciate the fact that you showed options on how to do it at home w/o specially designed tools. I have one cable in my house that needs repairing so this was very helpful.

Glad that I found this channel! One off installation and precautions are what I need. Not able to buy RG6 compression and crimper kit as we live very remote area, so this is the most useful instructional video thus far!

Comment faire tenir le raccordement et avec quoi

This video answered all of my questions! My main problem was that I wasn't pushing the fitting far enough onto the cable. Thank you.

So I actually do this for a living and I would highly recommend to buy the proper tools for this. The reason for this, is because of the complexity of information that goes through these cables now a days, a simple score of the center conductor, or even having a center conductor too long or too short, can cause issues. By the way, the foam part is called a dielectric. 😑

You should still pay for a technician. Most cable companies say they charge but it's up to the Tech if he wants to charge and well, most of us dont. Taking shortcuts with this stuff comes with serious consequences. Sometimes not for yourself but for your neighbors if other frequencies start to leak into an improperly connected fitting.

Thank you! I used a wide mouth plier to crimp a compression fitting with ease! Thank you this was very helpful.

Hi can you tell me if l need to change my splitter that connects from areal to 4 rooms but for some reason only 1 room is working can it be the 8 con toon splitter

Hey dude I just did that thanks to your no tool tutorial. Cheers!

I bought a kit with strippers, crimping tool and good connectors and I had to use it when mowers hit wires Dish did not bury deep enough or for my own use running wires to TVs. For what I spent on those junk screw in connectors that come off, I could of paid for the professional kit years ago, and saved myself the time and aggravation of the cheap connectors falling off. Put tools and connectors in a nice zip canvass bag and hang in garage or place after every use. Your picture will be better and savings alone on screw in connectors and trying to cut wire to exact length will more than offset the cost of the kit. Just don’t let anyone borrow it or when you need it, I found they have it hanging on their garage wall thinking I forget. Hate folks that borrow stuff and have to call to get it back or they bring stuff back dirty or broken. They ruined it for other folks that wanted to borrow stuff.

Thanks man, I had to cut the connector off one end of the cable so I can pull it through a hole in the wall and reattach it, this helped a lot

I know what I’m doing tonight 👍🏼👌🏻thanks for the great video

THANKS SO MUCH I finally found the video I was looking for

If you don't have a razor blade, you can also use some kind of knife(kitchen or pocket). I have done that for years going back to the analog only days decades ago when they had the rectangular brown, wrap around the TV screw cables(used to be popularized by the large outdoor antennas) and on the cylindrical black or white cables that you buy in stores with the pin tip.

@HBT Is there a simpliar way to ram the coax into the connector? I get alot of resistance when trying to make coax flush. Any suggestions besides developing carpal tunnel 😓?

Thank you so much, I had no idea how to do this but with your video, it was a walk in the Park 🙂

Thanks, this was very useful because I WAS going to buy a special tool that I'd only use once. I'm moving a cable from one room to another and the hole in the floor that the installer drilled is just big enough for the cable, but not for the completed termination. Once again, thank you.

FYI. The center conductor on rg-6 cable is copper-clad steel. Buy using a razor blade you are most likely severing the copper, thus losing most of your outer band. Kline Tools makes the best coax stripper I have ever used and it costs $11 at Home Depot.

You need to be really careful when running the razor around the center conductor because all the signal travels on the outside of it. If you scratch it or cut into it you could get intermittent issues and repeat trouble calls.

The foil shielding that is affixed to the white insulation should not be removed. Personally, for me, purchasing tools designed for the preparation and termination of raw coaxial cable has been worth the money outlay. Otherwise, pre-terminated cables can be purchased from hardware stores, Best Buy and online vendors.

Any risk of electricity? Like I can do this ? While electric is on ?

Should I cut the power before doing this?

Once you compress this F-connector in place.... is it possible to take it out and re-use it again? Or is this basically permanent connection?

Quick question. I'm prewiring my house and noticed that if I do not shorten the braid in my RG6 to approximately 4mm, it will extend past the barrel connectors once they are compressed on. Some sites seem to recommend cutting any braid that extends after compressing the connector on but I'm hesitant to take a razor blade to coax. Is it okay to simply cut the RG6 braid to roughly 4mm and compress on as usual or is this likely to cause me signal degradation? Thanks in advance for your reply.

@redskyatnight165

As the guy who's gonna have to come fix this: Leave a lot of extra cables at your outlets and wherever you're going to make the main connections. (for a couple reasons). 1. If you have extra braiding you can pull the connector off and try again without compressing. Just cut off what you just did and do it again till you get it right. A tiny bit of braiding isn't the end of the world but if it comes into contact with anything you risk a short. 2. When you want to put these connections to use, the technician will have enough extra wire to cut off your connectors and to them right. It's common practice for technicians to do "the last mile" i.e. Install the F connectors and connect them to wall plates. So you really don't have to worry about it in the first place. Also, most technicians are so annoyed with people telling them that they didn't mess with the wiring (after they obviously did) that if you ask them to do it correctly most will just take care of it so they know it's done right. Thanks and good luck.

The connector? There are three types of coaxial cables connectors on the market for RG59 & RG6. First is twist-on. Avoid these at all costs. They are not recommended. Second is crimp. Crimp connectors used to be commonly used. They are still good but have largely been supplanted. Third is compression connectors. Compressions are now industry standard. A special tool is required to properly apply it to coaxial cable, but they are great.

Brilliant analysis. God bless you.

Make sure none of the silver treads are touching center conductor. That will cause interference

Can you do this while it’s live ?

First cut the core free. The outer sleeve will protect and keep the braid in place while you are cutting. It gives a much cleaner cut. Then make your second cut to expose the braid and foil. Never cut all the way, scratch the vinyl partially so the knife does not touch the core (first cut) or the braid (second cut). Then pull the vinyl or foam, it will tear along the scratch you made. Much better is to use tools designed for the job. These tools guarantee a good cut without damage to the core/braid and they cut at exactly the right spot. Why not spend a few dollars for the right tools?. They are cheap compared to what you spend on your TV equipment.

The tool made for stripping the cable does far better job than a razor blade, if you’re going to make your own connections, get the correct tools. All of the compression fittings were good, but not the twist on fittings. They can easily fall off and just cause problems.
