RG6 Coaxial cable compression Q?
I have a lot of compression connectors (type F), compression tool cutting and redo all my house. I just bought some RG6 cables in bulk on eBay, but I was nervous and tried a tester in a chain that had at home. It did not work, but it was RG6 cable. It RG59. Im wondering if this is normal, or am I doing something wrong, I followed all the instructions I saw online and in the packages they purchased. Im pretty sure the problem is the coaxial cable size I have. Can someone just reaffirmed this with me. Please and thank you.
You are correct, RG59 is slightly lower compared with RG6 cable diameter. This really does not affect hex crimps, crimp as you just tighten them. When it comes to settings of compression, the diameter of the cable is very import. I am willing to be this is the problem. Below is great place for some compression connectors for RG59.
