I think the official minimum pull test is 55 lbs, but
I'm too lazy to Google for it now.

40 lbs outdoors, 30 lbs indoors.

6.2.2
Axial Pull Force: The male “F” pin type connector, when
attached to cables manufactured to SCTE approved standards,
shall withstand a minimum axial pull force of 40 lbs for
outdoor and 30 lbs for indoor applications when tested
per ANSI/SCTE 99 2009, Test Method For Axial Pull
Connector/Drop Cable.

I doubt that the crimp connectors could pass the test.
