that "skirt" left on the crimp ferrule is supposed to be there. double crimping crushes the coax since that part is not supported by the connector. It's probably fine but technically could change the impedance at that one spot.
i think it's really helpful for me and i will recommend this video to my friends.In addition, As the B-model SMB, although the connection speed is faster than A.and i think elecbee connectors from CHIna can be believable. thanks!
Watched this video and was very informative, because there a several coaxial crimpers available for RG 400, would like to know what set you would recommend? I would also like to be able to print the diagram off . Thank you for the information.
I have a stripping tool for RG-6, -59 and -11, but not -400. Sure is much easier and faster than the razor and pliers technique and much less prone to error. These stripping tools cost no more than a few ruined connectors from bad connections.
Indeed there are a number of strippers out there, and if you find a good one for RG-400 that's great (they do exist but for aerospace work are typically hundreds to thousands of dollars). However a multi-size stripper for RG-6/59/11 would not repeatedly work accurately -400. The purpose of this video was/is to demonstrate the crimping of the ends.
The crimper shown in our video is one that we stock for a very good price, and also has interchangeable jaws so that you can also use the same crimper for terminals as well. It is our SAT-001 crimper with the SAT-031 crimper die - www.steinair.com/storedetail.cfm?productid=295
ACTUALLY putting the 2nd crimp on the sleeve is a BAD idea. The end of the sleeve should remain uncrimped so if the cable is bent against it it is less likely to cut into the jacket. Leave it like a bell end.
John Bacon anything less than infinite resistance is a fail. 1 strand of your shield touching the center conductor(s) will kill your signal. That being said I once fixed a bad crimp (again probably only one small strand) by running 120 volts (AC) through it for a second. The one tiny strand acted like a fuse and POOF the short was gone. Trick we used to use in the alarm business to find weak points in window foils.
I had this video playing in front of me as i did my first coax on the aircraft. Will repeat every single following time
I re-watch this every time I do one of these.
Made some perfect crimped terminals on my project after watching this. Thank you. Thank you.

Great...Got a video for a right angle BNC to RG400 installation?
Looks like this guy has done this at least twice...lol
I used to be good at this...excellent video to reeducate me...thanks

Would love to be able to print the diagram off, but will not allow us.
Thank you!

Nice video.
What crimper do you recommend for the RG-400 cables?

SteinAir Thanks! Ordering today. :-)
Is this crimping tool work on RCA?

What setting do you use on the multi-tester to test for a short? And what reading are you looking for?

Not very good at this are you?
