tools

 

 

 

12.11.2

 

Connector selection

 

 

 

Avanti recommend the use of Cablecon /Webro compression connectors only

 

 

 

Connectors currently in service are 5.1 for WF100 and 6.0 for WF125

 

 

 

No other type of connector may be used at this time

 

 

 

12.11.3 Fitting Webro WF100 compression connectors

 

 
 

The WF100 

cable uses the Cablecon / Webro 5.1 connector

 

 

 

1.  Using stripping tool, insert cable and rotate stripper

 

 

around the cable several times until cable is cut, then pull 

away. Discard pieces of cable safely. Pull back braiding 

around outer sheath of cable

 

 

 
 

 

2. Fit 

Cablecon/Webro 

compression 

connector 

onto 

insertion 

tool and ensure a secure fit, with 11mm spanner

 

 

 
 

 

TIP

 

 

Put a small amount of silicon grease into the rear of the connector around the neck of the center pillar, this will 

lubricate the cable as you push it into the connector and will also provide additional waterproofing.
