Why do punters invariably put the cable grip on upside down?


Because there are no instructions with it when you buy one?

Perhaps I am one of those who fits them upside down, because I have
never seen anything resembling an installation diagram or fitting
instructions.

The BBC booklet TV Tansmiiting stations used to publish a re-drawn Belling
Lee picture.

There is a continuous end and a segmented end. I have always fitted the
segmented end farthest away from the connection end. Am I right or wrong?

The segmented end should grip on the braid when the connector is screwed
together, Segmented end away from the central pin.
