Using the DXE-UT-8213 & UT-80P
A. Cut the end of the coaxial cable with the
CNL-911
Coax Cable
Cutter to get a good flush cut.
B. Place the prepared coaxial cable end into the body of the
DXE-UT-8213
labeled "
1st CUT
". Firmly grip the coaxial cable and the
DXE-UT-8213
, turn
the
DXE-UT-8213
in a clock wise direction while applying steady and
slightly firm pressure. Grip the coaxial cable between your thumb and first
finger, close to the tool.
C. As you turn the tool clockwise, the
DXE-UT-8213
will
begin cutting. Keep turning the tool in a clockwise
direction until it will not cut anymore, the tool will eject
the cut parts and stop cutting at the proper length.
D. Turn the
DXE-UT-8213
around for the second cut. Insert the coaxial
cable into the tool again.
E. Grip the cable between your thumb and first finger close to
the tool and turn the tool in a clock wise direction. The
DXE-UT-8213
will begin cutting as you turn it. Keep
turning the tool in a clockwise direction until it will not cut
anymore, the tool will eject the cut outer insulation and stop
cutting at the proper length.
F. You may want to trim back some of the braid on the coaxial cable slightly using the
DXE-170M
precision shear side cutters
prior to installing the
DXE-PL259
PL-259 connector.
G Place the PL-259 Collar on the coaxial cable and slide it out of the way.
Gently install the PL-259 on the prepared coaxial cable ensuring the center
conductor strands go into the center conductor of the PL-259.
H. Screw the patent pending
DXE-UT-80P
Connector Assembly Tool onto
the PL-259. Grip the coaxial cable firmly and turn the
DXE-UT-80P
Assembly Tool clockwise until the coaxial cable center conductor is visible
at the end of the PL-295 as shown below.
I. Remove the
DXE-UT-80P
Connector Assembly Tool and you're ready to solder the PL-259. This combination of DXE tools
allows perfect and easy connector installation every time!
Trimming for 2-Piece N Connector
If you are using the
DXE-N1001-S
DX Engineering 2-piece N Connectors, you will
need to trim the center conductor to a length of approximately 0.441”. This will allow
the center conductor to seat properly in the gold center pin of the 2-piece N Connector
