Good job! Nicely adapted and practical. Thanks for sharing FKH. BTW, the washer can also be cut at the end of the installation either with heavy-duty wire cutters or, a standard hacksaw with a fine tooth count (no special tools [^_^]) or, of course, with a Dremel tool if available.
Tip. Slip the washer over the cable connector end BEFORE you start trimming for the connector. It will be a pain to have to run the washer along say 20 metres or more of cable.
I guess that's the method to use the "good ends", that don't need crimping, without the $30 dollar tool, I'm watching this to see what happen to my shield . I see when you cut the plastic away, there it is . I never see mine only that foil. The foil don't make a good connection when running the power out to the satellite dish or when using a uhf/vhf power booster with the power coming from the power source near the tv out to the pole and back. I'll have to strip mine by hand next time with out the fancy tool. I must be cutting of the mesh type wire shield with that cutter thing you twirl couple times in each direction. I see you find the good shielding but them cut it away. that's the good strong ground , I've even had to dig some of that out and twist it up and solder to the outside of the metal connector. I did that on both ends , and yes then I got my signal back. But that's a lot of work. I would just as soon learn to get the wire mesh to just fold back and then when installing the end thing , it would certainly touch it.
I bet you could cut that washer off with a pair of legit medic's shears. I broke a pair once and decided to stress test the remains. Those things can cut through quarters like normal scissors would cut through cold butter. Takes a moment of umph and then it's pure give. Maybe the steel of the washer would be a bit too much though. Idk, I'm not a metallurgist.
It actually maintains continuity within the cable fitting. The fittings were designed to house the peeled back braid wrap and 1 shield layer. If you rid the cable of those two things, you've just created a trouble call.
Washer idea doesn’t work if cable is long and through wall to cameras unless you leave the washer there. What I did was lay the connecting part on top of a piece of wood and rest a plier, around the round section of it which creates a perfect circle, and hammer it down a bit and turning it so it’s hammered on every side.
I feel like for most people, the chance of having some scrap lumbar lying around and then the right size drill bit is less likely than being within ten minutes of any hardware store that sells a compressor tool for like ten bucks
No..... Just.... No..... Why on earth would you cut off your shield? Fold it, the braid and the aluminum, back around the sheath. Then use the freaking proper tool to get an effective crimp and do the job there right way. When you have EMI/RFI on your devices you have no one to blame but yourself if you use this horrible method.
Sure, you CAN cut off the shield, but it's not the correct way to make the connection. These compression fittings count on the shield being over the outer jacket to properly compress.
Thanks for your help. I followed your instructions explicitly. I got my coax cables connected. YOU are the best!!!
Very helpful video, thank you! I cut the washer off with a pair of tin snips.
Thanks a lot, worked like a charm

very awesome bro. I will try it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting this.

Nice idea now I need the drill lol
Thank you!
Thanks for using music that doesn't interfere w instructions.
Why do you need the washer?
Hey, thank you for the video. short and sweet also very helpful.

How do I uncompress a connector for coaxial cable reinstallation?
Cut it off and get a new one
Please mention cost of connector ?
genius, thanx man

Instead of wood I use the clamping part of a pipe flaring tool
Nice method, but you're not supposed to cut off the wire mesh, this gives the connector and cable strength.
I agree, your not supposed to cut the braiding, but the braiding is a type of grounding for the cable.
It actually maintains continuity within the cable fitting. The fittings were designed to house the peeled back braid wrap and 1 shield layer. If you rid the cable of those two things, you've just created a trouble call.
i think there are automatic tools that cut it off too
can you just superglue it on there?
Just use 2 pairs of pliers.
You don't cut off the braiding.....you need that for proper grounding....it's there for a reason....🤦

Interesting. But just knowing the washer was there would drive me bananas - OCD ;)
Just cut it using dremel
Or wire cutters

You damaged the dielectric and didn't fold the braiding back

great attaching end to a short cable, doesnt help much when you have 60 ft of buried cable
Also that's not rg6 cable
what's with the morbid music? Other wise great video

you could probably able to do it without the washer.
You can just cut it off the wire

@@miserableguinea6892 Mine wont even go one with the shielding bent liek that
tool is $10, come on
ua-cam.com/video/IVsA3zSNOCM/v-deo.html here's how it's done!
Title of video is misleading: it only applies to F-type connectors. Video title should make that clear.
I think I would just buy tool right tools look at all the crap you have to go through in this video 😂😂😂😂🤔😂😂😂😂
Or buy the 15 dollar tool and not get charged for the trouble call
