crimping F-connectors
Hello,
I have in the past just used screw-on F-connectors but I would like to try crimping. I have a reel of what I thought was CT100 cable but wikipedia suggests that CT100 was a brand and says that it is no longer made because the manufacturer closed down. I have been looking at cheap crimp tools and they claim to work with rg59, rg6, etc. What is the rg-equivalent or nearest equivalent of ct100? Is it just a matter of finding the one with the same or nearest outside diameter? Thanks, Stephen. |

You will need the specialist cripming tool of which you can get one type (Rolson branded) from Maplin. However it will not do the heavier duty type that Screwfix sell under part number 55114. Be prepared - crimping tools are expensive. Consider instead using compression fittings which are just as good (maybe better) and the tool is cheaper. Look here to see how to do it. http://www.wrightsaerials.tv/referen...ug-ct100.shtml -- Woody harrogate3 at ntlworld dot com |
