This is bullshit.. This is how not to do it

Don't care for this at all. It safe, plus there's a good chance your blade could score the center conductor.

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.
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 only need a tool if you dont know how to measure it to the standard and cut it yourself.
You can spend money on a tool or you can just use a measuring tape, blade and your eyes to do it.
@@pmAdministrator If you're in a bind, maybe. Spend the $10-$15 and get the tool. One small score on that center conductor and you can cause a whole host of issues.
i also do this for a living and you would be getting a retrain or a write up for this lol. just saying.
This is a sign of someone thinking their job is rocket science. If he called the dielectric by name, no one would know what he's talking about.
@@Tpurc then don't score the center conductor? Learning how to use a razor blade properly is the same as anything else.
Thank you for in depth up close video.I bought cheap connectors in kit like you use and struggled to compress them to stay on. This video helped show exactly what to do.
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.
Good to know! Thanks!

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.
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.
hi there but what the name of the tool?
The True Thug's 4Life
Not telling you with a name like that...
Bor the Wolf no no no trey
That's not the point of this video. But haters gonna hate.
You should make a video of your suggestion
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
I was given two of these by someone but looking back the connector was already crimped from the shop and I couldn't understand how to put the cable in and got pissed off and bought a few screw in type connectors. Now I understand, Thank you.
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 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.
Thank you so much! I nearly had to pay a technician to come and help me with this, but your tutorial was so easy. I really appreciate it!
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.
Omg mate I luv ya! Lol.i stripped the wire several times but didn't work and then I gave up until I watched your video and it worked first time! Thanks so much!
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.
+Rick Simmons those repeat trouble calls are the worst haha.
Rick Simmons good lookin out homeslice
Rick Simmons use a dull pocket knife to cut outer insulation, then get your razor to cut braid. Dielectric shield will cut easily with your pocket knife.
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. I replaced every one that I saw when I worked at Comcast on installs and trouble calls.
Late to the party. Just broke one of these connectors and had to shorten the cable down and thus apply a new connector. Thanks for the help!
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.
Thank you for showing this practical of cable terminal job,
I appreciate your helping video,
You are taking Efforts for showing these things,
Once again Thank you & Best Wishes for your future journey.
Please bring more videos for Our People.🙏🙏
Thanks. Moved my cable myself. These instructions are great. Bought the tools at home depot to make it easier.
great DIY video! perfect for someone who doesn't want to buy the expensive tools and it shows how to do this. thank you!!! You are so awesome!!!!!
Omg life saver, my nans wire almost gave up the ghost when I moved furniture to put her Christmas tree up, and as I was putting things away it pung out of the wall and the copper end snpped, I tried to fix it for half an hour and failed and watched the video and fixed the TV, yayyy one less thing to get moaned at
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.
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.
RS3Sub I'm sure lots of engineers troll TH-cam comments (while learning how to prep coax) to call strangers "idiots". Do us a favor and call before you knock out your neighbors service. Kthxbye
Excellent video! Question I noticed you left foil on white plastic shielding? Some remove foil?
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.
Been about 4 years since I seen this video. Which helped me back then. Forgot how to do it today. Put this video on and voila. It's 2 quarter inches and not 2 half inches. Good to go!
Hello I like you channel very mutch you are Amazing, welcome to my channel thanks 💐🌹🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@latefao82 your welcome. Thank you! Take care ✌😉🎈
Rather than folding the wires down can you just cut them off?
Are they actually necessary for the connection?
Oliver Stevenson much better to just cut them off otherwise you may experience a faulty signal
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.
Thanks. I was just about to go and buy the rotary cutter then saw your method. Saved me £15 : )
Hey dude I just did that thanks to your no tool tutorial. Cheers!
I would recommend the threaded connections you can pick up at Walmart. Worked easy for me using only a pocket knife.
Wait till you get filtered for noise because your connections are leaking …call a tech
Semm many finding fault as for me this was extremely helpful and inexpensive. Thanks, better yet he went straight in showing you how to do it no nonsense
Do I make sure my power is off so I don’t tase my self
Another guy with newer and better tools did it the exact same way and it worked for me so I’m assuming this way would work as well as the overall installation was the same
OOOH!!! and here i am squeezing the conectors with universal pliers...😂
What is the name of the metal thing you put on when I search is says there are 2 type a female and male ones
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.
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.
I found this very helpful because it was what I was looking for because I got the tool and push on connectors but neither had instructions on how the cable should be cut and prepared to use with these.
see this is,what im talking about. ive watched about 4 or 5 of these damn thing and had to listen to these people ramble on and on about nothing. this guy shows you and dose it without all the bullshit. thanks bud i do appreciate it.
Except this is what causes leaks in your signal and it's where you pixelation starts or slow internet which will then back feed into the plant causing issues for your neighbors.
Eli Yo then how to do it properly man, atleast mention the damn process please if you know!!!!
@@SankiKingOfficial.... remove 2nd shield i.e., stiker type aluminium foil also; to keep distance from center conductor.
Thank you! I used a wide mouth plier to crimp a compression fitting with ease! Thank you this was very helpful.
Could anyone tell me how to remove the connection
Cut it and prep a new one
If a tiny metal cord piece is hanging out will it make me lag on video games? I been lagging.
Is the exposed metal a piece of the aluminum shielding?
Ideally no metal should be exposed. Also, the shielding should not come into contact with the center conductor. Precut & terminated coaxial cable is available from hardware stores, Best Buy and online vendors.
I, myself, purchased tools specific for prepping coaxial cable and applying compression connectors on raw cabling.
@@bewarethedecks the cable had a tear in the rubber and a couple metal things inside got cut . I replaced it and it's not making my games lag anymore.
@@PovElijah Thank you for the update. 🙂
Which connector is better?
how do you get the blue connector off without cutting the cable?
u cant
I have a klein dedicated stripping tool for RG-6 coaxial and still end up breaking the delicate wire mesh shield wires. It's frustrating!
Can we reuse the adapters after they've come off? Or do we have to get new ones?
Those with compression is not usable again.Threaded can be used again
could I repair a damage outdoor RG6 satellite cable with coupling or will weathering effect it over time? because the reason I am asking is a service guy came by less than a year ago cut out the bad cable and installed 2 couplings. Now after this band-aid repair one of the cable connector corroded to the point loss signal again a 2nd time! What could have this repair guy done different?
Thank you! Harbor Freight had the tool for $15 and I was able to bust out a repair in less than 10 minutes.
My coaxial cable have 2 netted arrays. There is a center hard wires, the foam, a first set of small wires, a foil isolation, a second set of small wires and another foil isolation. What kind of coaxial is that one? I couldn't fit a connector there.
most likely rg6 quad shield
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?
For 20 bucks at Amazon you can buy the crimper, strippers, and 10 f type connectors in a kit. Those screw on type connectors are junk, all they do is ruin the cable. When crimping a new connector, it isn't necessary to peel back the braided wire overlapping the outer insulater, it's why you had a tough time putting that connector on. If done right those connectors slide right on fairly easy, just leave the braided wire as is.
Why are these better than the ones from wallmart and how do you take them off? Thanks
+Matej Martin you cant take them off you have to cut them off
My coax cable isn’t labeled with which type of endpoint I need. I know it’s older what should I do? I tried using rg6-quad connector it was too big I think.
Im confused if you re supposed to remove the foil over the white plastic isolator part?
Kindly give address for online purchase in India of the compression tool shown in the video.
Kindly go to google jackass.
This is an awesome video, however, I still think tools are made for you to do the job effectively and efficiently, the tools don't cost that much. and if you are dealing with coax cable jobs, best if you might as well get the tool. Using the blade, if not being careful, you can cut your fingers by mistake, or even get cut from the shield, or even cut it out of the proper length. If it just a quick job and you are a pro, then you can avoid the tools, but if it a major job of running cables such as extending your tv signal cable , just like what I am about to do, get the tools, it is definitely worth it...
You made a lot of mistakes in this video. To install a F-connector the right way, you need the special tools. You can't just cut the center conductor if its too long, you shouldn't cut away the braid. The braid acts as a ground, and you have a nice suck out in the connector. I can go on and on, but my point is. You shouldn't show people the wrong way of doing this. Have fun with missing channels and image tiling.
Bill Fuget i like this video/
+Bill Fuget Why don't you do a video for us .
+Bill Fuget wtf are you talking about. you CAN cut the center conductor when its too long. you're trippin
The video is correct, you just missed it. He curled the braid back as should be and the
center conductor can or must be cut if it's too long. I've done this for a living a long time ago and only refreshed my memory. No, no you don't need special tools either, the tools are meant for production & quicker work and for idiots who don't know otherwise.
Worked for me perfect. Made a 15 foot and 8 foot. Used a box cutter. Made two in 5-6 mins. Great video for me.
Can anyone help me with my question. I bought an xfinity self install kit. They say to find a coax outlet to screw the coax cable into provided by Comcast. But the room I want to use already has a cable coming out of the outlet that could screw into the Comcast modem. Could I just use the cable already coming out of the wall? Or do I have to use the screw on outlet? If that makes sense... male/female.
is there a way to un-compress the connector again if I wanna trim the cable and reuse the connector.
Hello I like you channel very mutch you are Amazing welcome to my channel thanks 💐🌹🤗🙏💐🌹🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Please can i get a link to any video that tells us when to use an RG6 and RG 11 cable?
Rg6 for up to 150 feet rg11 for 150 to 250 TX15 for 250 to 500
Please do not use twist on fittings. You will cause ingress/egress and create noise back feeding into the plant interfering with not only yours but your neighbors on the same node. Which could result in a preventative maintenance tech at your door or worse your services being deactivated until fixed. All depending on how much your cable company values their quality of service. If you are doing this just for an antenna please disregard this. You can always stop at your local cable company and get a professional cable to needed length and their standards for free. Keep fittings screwed on tight please. Cable technician here.
Hi mate , i have four bedroom house and decided to put tv in each room. do i have to wire a socket to each tv or is there is a wireless solution to this kind of house system ? thank you

when working on the coax cable coming out of the wall, what kind of voltage and currents are there in it?
You shouldn't have any voltage. It should all go out through a ground wire.
What voltage do you have between the positive and ground?
what if the f connector will not easily fit on coax cable, even when white is inside metal tube & you apply enough force to seat connector?
Photographic elements in my opinion you should snip and restart, once you pull back braids give the foil a tight squeeze and twist so the metal tube doesn’t pull it down with it. Most likely what is happing it should slide right on like a glove using firm pressure your hand should never hurt after lol
is there a tool for the "shoving" part at 4:10?
At 5:09 I would use the term compression tool. It's not informative to say crimping tool here because crimping is another way to attach an F-connector, and a crimping tool is an entirely different tool.
Any risk of electricity? Like I can do this ? While electric is on ?
Can you purchase one that is ready made from Amazon?
Worked great for me, thanks!! I pulled down the one from the pole to my house with a semi.
Thank you being succinct in your tutorial. Most videos are so long-winded!
Hi. On your tool which adapter did you use? 21mm, 20.3mm or 19.3mm. Could you explain the diferences between them ?
i used the plain one without any tools. You just screw it on by handand it holds quite strong.
Screw-ons are not an option, man.
Albert Gilder Screw-ons work fine if you prep the cable right.
Source: Drastically more experience in the field than you.
Albert Gilder if you guys are pros then why are you watching a how to video?
Skrt Skrt to see why people keep fucking up a relatively simple task.
Screw-ons are for screw-offs.
i dont know why they still make screw on f connectors. they are shit even if your just using them for aerial antennas. i was a tech for comcast and hated when you go to do a fresh install on a newly built house and the electricians used screw on connectors. or put cheap ass 800mhz splitters on the cables behind drywall. like damn if you aint doing it right dont do it at all
Make sure none of the silver treads are touching center conductor. That will cause interference
also please show how to remove the connector from the cable for re use of the connector in case of the cable failure
hahahaha ha you're too funny there's no reuse or removal of the connector unless you cut it off 3cm 1.5 inches lower. reuse, what other connector are you going to put on Rg6? what reuse? as a noose? or are you gonna strip the wire from someone's prooerty and sell it? except the twist on there's no removal that's the idea. to have a solid connection. thanks for the laugh, take the connector off and reuse hahahaha

@@rpandocchi
yes, they are the same cables.
That is what we call a “sucked out” fitting, dielectric (“white foam”) should be flush with the metal could cause pixelation and bad signal I hate going to houses with fittings like this. Also clip the center conductor flush it’s just better that way
Can you do this while it’s live ?
Thanks for taking the time to do this.

@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 😓?
Kudos on the razor blade! " you don't just wanna ... GO FOR IT!! " lol got me good
So don't buy the $7-10 stripping tool that will do the job perfectly with no messing about, but get the expensive crimp tool. Or do you have a good way of putting on those crimp connectors? Your tool link is broken. There are kits including the stripper, crimper, and crimp connectors for around twenty bucks. Probably better than hacking up the end of the cable or using an unreliable screw on connector. This is not good advice.
I need that tool. My coax cable keeps slipping out that piece whatever the name is. Makes me losing internet connection.
