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.
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?
I can understand the mistake of fitting the cable grip upside down, given
that the cylindrical metal shroud of the plug often has a conical
indentation at the cable end into which the conical end of an upside-down
cable clamp fits nicely. I've even seen plugs with the clamp already
inserted upside down so a punter would naturally assume that when he has
removed it to fit onto the cable it should remain in that orientation.
I've never heard of soldering the central core to the centre pin of the
plug. I was told to use fine-nosed pliers to crimp a slight kink in the
core so it will make good contact with the inside of the centre pin.
oh dear.
