Terminating the Cable with BNC connectors
1 . Mini HR and Mini 59 cable only — Slide
the center conductor pin onto the center
conductor.
2 . Mini HR and Mini 59 cable only — Place
the plastic dielectric sleeve over the center
conductor pin.
3 . Mini HR and Mini 59 cable only — Slide
the compression sleeve over the dielectric
sleeve as far as possible.
4 . RG 59 HR plenum cable only — Slide the
barrel over the braid and outer insulation.
CAUTION For RG 59 HR plenum cable,
ensure that the foil slides
cleanly into the ferrule and
does not bunch up. If the foil
does bunch up, you must cut
and restrip the cable and start
over.
5 . Push the compression connector onto the
cable, gently twisting the cable in the
compression connector, until the center pin is flush with the BNC
front ring.
6 . Place the cable and connector in the opened compression tool (no
adapter is necessary).
7 . Compress the cable and connector together, as shown on page 2.
Terminating the Cable with F-type connectors
1 . Push the compression connector onto the cable until
the dielectric is flush with the inner sleeve top of the
connector. Use the compression tool to provide
leverage as shown. The center conductor should
protrude slightly from the front ring
. Discard the
plastic slug.
2 . Select and place the correct adapter into the
compression tool. Use the gold adapter for gold
connectors and the silver adapter for nickel
connectors.
CAUTION Using the wrong adapter can damage the
tool and/or the connector.
3 . Place the cable and connector in the opened
compression tool.
4 . Compress the cable and connector together, as shown
on page 2.
