By putting an F connector on the coaxial cable has braided cable cut?
I'm trying to coax F connector on the coaxial cable. I am using the following instructions: http://www.hometech.com/learn/coaxterm.html I have everything cut as directed. My question is: Can twisted wire cut flush with the outer layer of plastic or bend backward around the outer layer? "And stay foil wrapped around the 2nd white plastic interior or aluminum foil is cut flush?
Cut the twisted, but do not cut it all off. Bend / bend back. It will contact the outside of the connector and be grounded. Act as a return signal and a shield to help prevent outside interference. You can cut the entire sheet.
