I'm going to show you how to install a connector to an RG 6 coax cable this connector is also called an F connector a word about F connectors there are several different kinds there's some that you can thread on by hand so that would not require any special tools there's some that you crimp on and then there are like this one some that you can compress on and that's the best kind that's what the pros use and that's what I'm going to show in this video so here are the tools that you're going to need a sharp utility knife or what I recommend is coax cable strippers a compression crimp tool and wire strippers to prep the end of the cable you will first cut off about a half inch of the black sheathing be careful not to cut too deep you do not want to slice through the braided shield underneath it is a braid of very fine wires I have now exposed the braided shield which are these fine wires
