This tool kits is expensive, but it gets job done in 5 minutes. I broke my internet coaxial cable when I was working in my backyard, I got everything fixed by following the video, thanks!
Thanks! Short, sweet and to the point. Accidentally cut a cable and was able to fix it within 5 min (and an hour round trip to the big box store) thanks to this video. Great content!
I just want to say thank you for this video. I just bought a house recently and have been encountering Internet issues so I was able to cut off parts that were frayed and get it back together with your help. Much appreciated 🙏
It would be nice to describe those individual tools and connectors a bit more…where to buy, how much it costs, etc. I’m guessing none of us out here have all these parts and tools in our garage…
1- You have to fold the metal braid back 2- The amount of stinger sticking out is irrelevant. You want the white dielectric part to be flush with the little hole it comes through. The frequencies for cable, internet, or satellite travel in that dielectric. If it’s not done right, you’ll have issues. You’re welcome
You are a dumby mcdumb face. The center conductor length is important, as is the stripping technique. You need a solid connection from the body of the connector to the shielding of the cable to prevent ingress/egress, and the correct amount of center conductor exposed for the equipment it's being connected to. Luckily F connectors have standards and that standard is 1/4" shielding exposed, 1/4" dielectric exposed, 1/4" center conductor exposed. The dielectric does not carry any signal (or frequencies as you called it). The signal travels on the outermost portion of the center conductor thanks to the skin effect. The dielectric IS important because it maintains the distance between the center conductor and the shielding, which is what determines the impedance of the cable. In the case of cable companies, that impedance is 75 ohms. You are right though, the braid should be folded prior to installing the f connector.
Just get a kit, they should come with the coax stripper, coax crimper and the type f connectors. From what I've been seeing, there isn't much point to buying them separately unless you've already got some of the gear.
It's a coax cable stripper and you should be able to find it at most larger hardware stores. Or just pick one up off of ebay, that's what I'm doing. You're going to need the crimper and the rest of it anyways.
Every time you splice any cables, you will lose some signal. If you have enough cable, just replace the connector or best yet, replace the entire cable. Adding new connectors in splice area is good as well
I wanted to find how to fix the tiny coaxial cable for my car antennae. Not this. And I wanted to use simple tools and simple crap any typical guy would have in his toolbox.
This dude sounds like Saul Goodman
Damn spot on
Frfr lol
Its a hybrid of saul and badger
I can't unhear it now 😂
Annoying in the beginning especially when you're having a bad day, then hear that ""

Where did you buy the tools ?
Lol I’m in the same boat.
I found a whole kit on amazon for $30
Thanks! Short, sweet and to the point. Accidentally cut a cable and was able to fix it within 5 min (and an hour round trip to the big box store) thanks to this video. Great content!
BTW, we didn't need the crimping tool because we bought the screw on pieces. Still got the job done, and saved $$.

We accidentally cut the tv cable while demoing balcony. Was able to fix and and got the cable to work again in an hour thanks to your video. 👍🙏
Hell yeah thanks Saul if you got a diy better call Saul! Way 2 go mate
😂😂😂
This is really helpful! Verizon technician cut my coaxial cable without my knowledge, and it is causing a problem now that I might want to switch.
thank you so much, just fixed my coaxial cable without calling someone out to do it
So I can replace the cable without calling the service provider?
Thanks a lot as a woman I needed this tutorial- my tv has beautiful cable
will this work on outdoor RG6 satellite cable? or will weather effect it?
Thanks, I has to do this with only a box cutter/scissors to strip and cut the wire and it wasn't too bad

I’m guessing none of us out here have all these parts and tools in our garage…
What was that tool you used for that?
The only thing is people won't commonly have the crimping tool.
Good show.
Some videos show them folding back the silver wire strands. Does this have to be done, or can you just leave it like you did?
where's the link to Amazon for the tool?????????
Thank you very much. You make it very simple.
My mother cut the internet cable by accident, I went to ace bought the parts and fixed it!!!!! Ty my wifi is back!!!
Your description mentions being able to repair this using more standard tools. Can you show how that is done?
Quick, straightforward… niiiicccceee
Thanks bro. I knew this was going to be simple but it it still helps to have your tutorial.
Where do you get that tool and the connectors?
Honestly great video that helped me fix my coaxial cable
Can u ad a link to we’re to buy the tools you used
Well if you don't have the striping tool your fucked. And what ends? Not very helpful.

Can you list the items used in this video? Like the tools

Thank you so much!
Thanks great video, your voice sounds like a mix of Doug demero and Saul Goodman
Does adding a coax coupler like this reduce cable internet speeds?
No, maybe if you have like 10 of them in the line then perhaps. But if it's just 1 or 2 you won't notice any impact.
Mr do it all👍🏾
Where do you find that yellow tool?
It's a coax cable stripper and you should be able to find it at most larger hardware stores. Or just pick one up off of ebay, that's what I'm doing. You're going to need the crimper and the rest of it anyways.
Thank you
That was very helpful
Thank you, I couldn't figure out what to buy by just browsing lowe's/home depot

Signal loss for cable modem too?
what if its not just cur and its kind of chewed up by a lawnmower
Thank You!
Can this be done inside the wall connector
Yes it can, you just need to make sure that there is enough wire to pull out of the wall.
Thank you
I had no idea how simple that would be
Why do baby talk us like we are infants??
I actually needed it 🤣
Why does this guy sound a lot like Brennen Mulligan? 😂
What if my coaxial is not broken?
Then rip it and follow this video, duh!
Where can U buy the tools to use to fix cut cable
Thank you l thought l would have to buy all new co-ax.
Saved my ass THANKS
Lol😂, i cut it too. Try to get my kids to get off Roblox and TH-cam. 😅 Now trying to fix it.
Lol serves you right. I guess they have figured out how to reset the Router.
Thanks i fixed my brand new earphones
I wanna meet you over some coffee. I live in Mississauga.
My technician didn't even primp it. No wonder my shit is shit.
Please begin all of your videos just like this one 😬
Landlord cut it after i told him its illegal lol. I know how to do it the gheto way just curious how the pros do it lol.
Yeah, but who has those type of tools hanging around?!
Seriously!
I wanted to find how to fix the tiny coaxial cable for my car antennae. Not this. And I wanted to use simple tools and simple crap any typical guy would have in his toolbox.
I got the same issue I’m trying to fix. Did you have any luck finding out how to do it?
30 bucks at home Depot. Comes as a kit. Super easy
Pls do playback singing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Used to be I couldn’t sleep at night!! How stupid is that!?
Doh. Double check before you cut. Otherwise, this video is excellent tutorial for how to fix mistakes
I’m not buying a crimping tool
Lol. Well buy a new Cable
@@BobbsVegine-eg3xz lmao I fixed it the same day with new cable. Even painted it my own color 😂
Saul,
Seriously annoying voice on this guy.
That doesn't help me I need to know how to connect without the ends and your voice is very annoying.
Flex tape
Rude much?
