Making the Right Connection
with Hex Connectors
Making a coaxial cable connection is critical. If you have the
basic technique right you can modify it to your own personal
taste. Whether you use a knife, stripping tool or diagonal cutter,
the important thing is to make a good clean cut. A hex crimping
tool is required for hex connectors, for maximum RF transmis-
sion.
As mentioned before, the choice of tools is yours. Be sure you
do a precise job. Failure to do so can cost you time and money
in trying to locate a system problem.
Cut the cable flush. Strip the outer
jacket off 1/2”, then trim the dielectric
by cutting partially thru. DO NOT
NICK THE CENTER CONDUCTOR!
Twist and pull off leaving a 1/2” minu-
mum of exposed center conductor.
Remove additional 1/4” of the outer
jacket.Pull the braid away from the
dielectric and fold over the jacket.
If there’s any residue on the center
conductor scrape off with non-metallic
object.
Slide connector onto coax. Trim off
excess braid.
Look into end of connector to make
sure no braid or aluminum foil touches
or has the possibility of touching the
center conductor. Shorting can result
if either comes in contact with center
conductor. Close crimping tool making
correct crimp.
IN HOT WEATHER: Trim off center
conductor leaving 3/16” beyond the
connector. The center conductor
expands at higher temperatures. If
a little extra is not provided, it may
contract enough in the winter to cre-
ate an open connection and result in
loss of picture.
IN COLD WEATHER OR INDOORS:
Trim off center conductor leaving it
extended 1/16” of an inch beyond the
connector. (Use diagonal pliers for
cutting center conductor).
