This does work.. My dad broke the coax on the house antenna and he just spliced it together... I will say the antenna does go out when like a plane passes close to the house so def is shielding is compromised lol
The white foam you cut out is called the dielectric. You're messing with the impedance bro!! And remember, today's coax has frequencies flowing in both directions. Aside from the certain MER and BER issues with your system, you also run a major risk of ingress. Ingress can degrade your entire neighborhood and if it is bad enough it could knock modems offline. Dont be that guy.
@@colonelradec5956 I just told him. You're welcome. Also, I let him know that if he cuts the cable company's property, he will be charged a fee each time we are called to fix it.
I work for a commercial DirecTV company, we have a lot of issues with people doing DIY crap like this and messing with everyone else's signal to their modems. I just disconnect them until they pay for a new line lol
This is only a temp fix, should only work for a week to a couple of months at best and just for a no voltage cable TV type job. If it is used on a cable that is passing a bias voltage (powering some sort of amp) then it could cause expensive damage (sort term or long term).
My antenna fell and it snapped my ant cable. When it did, it snapped the specifically designed connector end at the base of the antenna(lightweight antenna that connects to your roof or pole). When it did, it made my ant cable connector really short. Now, I got to try to reconnect this broken end thin cable to a standard thick high quality coax cable to see if I can get it back and reconnect that coax back into my TV/amp setup...
You should know better if you are a technician. Everyone who watches this and tries it is going to cause issues for themselves, other people, and the cable provider. Unless its just for an off air antenna.
That's an absolute last resort and should only ever be done as a temporary fix. What you'll get out of that is video ghosting and audio sync issues. The signal travels on the outer edge of the copper and when the dialectric isn't flush with itself, that causes problems. And with the gap in the foil and braided sheathing, you're now allowing an open area for signal attenuation. The proper fix is cut it flush on both ends, used a cable stripper, put two F connectors on each end with the dialecteic flush with the flat part of inside of the F connector. Use a compression tool (NOT a crimper). Then use a barrel connector.
You inserted a jump cut and skipped the most difficult and important part between finishing the wire twisting and the tape wrapping. Your method will produce a large leak in RF at this joint because the dielectric is interrupted. You need to splice the dielectric, too. Your splice is no better than the ugly one you wagged your finger at. It only looks neater.
It's not an electrical wire.. You're receiving / sending RF frequencies which are traveling through the dielectric (white part in the middle). If you really want to fix it yourself install some connectors on each end then connect them with a barrel. That is how you splice coax, not this crap.
My uncle made a nice connection, saying "you don't worry,I know it's free for three months." After many years,it's whether free or not,your in a 100 years lease of political beggars commercial complex not residence as bank got in a 😵💫 state seeing papers for mortgage loan. Heard a story about a 1.50 L non rain proof satellite,while mobile tower installation was going on business premises. Also government related employee gave advice in autism " better have another transfer of address as good advice."
That should change the coax's imedance, woudln't it? Plus if I were to do this, and I wouldn't, barrel connectors are dirt cheap, I'd solder the center conductors, and heat shrink the whole thing. Even with that the mechanical strength is gone. All in all bad advice.

Thank you! It worked!!! 😊

Well then tell landlords to stop cutting them to get tenants out early lol.

I work for Spectrum aka Charter who do you work for?

Us linemen that you for the job security.
cool you have such a good talent

Please call your cable service provider and have a real technician just replace it. This will cause nothing but ongoing problems.
நல்ல ஐடியா 👌😄
Now that's what I call ingress.
I'm a cable tech, I was looking up Mortise and tennon joints with a xumo remote and it brought this up. This is so hard to watch😂
Which wire is this copper cable dish wire

I'd really like to hear the right way to do it. That would be more helpful for folks who come here hoping to hear how this is done.

Holy mer, Ber, and ingress 😂 please don’t do this, call your isp. Fellow tech here!
Nice video Brother 👍
Tq so much lot dear ❤❤
Welcome 😊
Since I didn't have electrical tape can this be a fire hazard? I just did this and my cable is working now
does it work?
Nah, the lack of shielding will cause issues
Let's say for short term kinda works
Noise joined the chat
CLI fines for the cable company from the FCC for this shit.
Ingress out the ass.
*SNR INTENSIFIES*
Really work?😢
Super
If we did the above our coaxial cable will work

OK BUT LENGTH limit FIT DISTANCE OWER TENS

இவ்வளவு quality RF wire லைன் ளா இல்லையே.... 😜

I need the tying part to be slower it's too fast to replicate 😂
