With the new digital cable (for TV and Internet) they run 100%
sheild, which you cannot crimp a standard "F" connector to. You need
the Radial Quad Sheild Co-Ax connectors, which isntall with a
compression tool (Look up Zenith ZDS5061 for the tool) Also known as
"waterproof connectors"
Quad Shield cable does need different connectors. There should be no
need to use QS except for very long runs or in unusually noisy environments.
If you ever want to use it for digital TV or interner, you will want
QS. Up here the cable company rips out anything else and replaces it
with QS cable.
