Hi,

since it's not possible to work outside today (thanks Hanna!) I gathered
up all the cable stuff I'd gathered in preparation to install a cable
outlet in the living room. Before I got started I wanted to make sure
that I'd be able to terminate the cable. Well, I can't - I'm missing
some sort of trick I guess. I'm using Philips RG-6 quad shield, Philips
weatherproof connectors (I bought those because I suspect that I will be
running cable outside eventually) and the stripper that came with a
cheap regular cable tool set. I can strip the cables OK but I can't
seem to push the connectors onto the cable at all. I have tried both
the Philips connectors and the generic connectors that came with the
cheap tool set. It's like the little round tubular bit in the connector
just won't slide under the braid in the cable. Any suggestions? IS
there another tool that grips the cable and can force the connector on?

thanks
