This is the F Type Compression connector being used by the satellite and cable television industry. The F Type compression connector should NOT be confused with earlier "screw on" or push on connectors that don't stay put. RG-6 Compression F-Connectors are secured into place by use of a special tool. They are designed for use with satellite and cable applications.
1 Strip back 3/4" down to the center wire. Be sure not to crush down insulator foam layer.
2 Carefully remove outer insulating sleeve another 1/4" back exposing braided shield. Do not damage braided shield wire.
3 bend back the braided shield strands against outer sleeve at a 90 degree angle from the cable.
4 leave the tin part of the sleeve which is under the braiding intact against the foam insulation.
5 Slide compression fitting on over cable until foam insulation is visible on the front inner diameter but not extending past
6 Attach compression tool to compress fitting onto cable. Do not use excessive force. Compress only until black band is fully reduced..
7 Cut and remove excess inner core extending beyond front, leaving only a small amount extending.
