IDEAL 33-793 Compression Hip Kit

INSITE® COMPRESSION CONNECTORS

Installing one-piece compression BNC and right angle connectors just got easier. No more uncertainty when inserting the cable into the connector. No more collapsed center pins. No more wasted connectors and rework time on the job.With the patented InSITE® Technology feature, standard on our BNC and right angle (90°) compression connectors, field termination of these blind entry connectors is simple, fast and now provides a high-performance connection for all applications from CCTV to HD Video. The InSITE® window is a 360° clear window which allows the installer to verify that the prepped cable has been inserted far enough into the connector to make contact with the fixed pin. The cable, which requires a 1/4“ x 1/4“ industry standard preparation, is inserted into the connector until the folded braiding is visible within the InSITE® window. No measuring, no jacket marking, no guesswork.

In addition to the InSITE® feature, other improvements include:

• Increased compatible ranges of cable jacket diameters
• Lower cable insertion force
• A redesigned funneled pin entry – centers angled pins
• Accepts 23-18 AWG solid center conductor pins
• Smoother and easier mating with sockets through increased BNC head travel range
• Better return loss performance: >35dB up to 1GHz, >25dB up to 2GHz, >20dB up to 3GHz

INSITE® COMPRESSION CONNECTORS

InSITE® Technology gives installers a large, clear 360° visual indication that the coax cable has been correctly and completely inserted into the connector. Unlike connectors that use a sliding center pin contact as an indicator, the gold-plated center pin in the InSITE® is fixed. The center pin will not fall out of the connector during transport or become loose after repeated connection cycles. The pin can handle a wide 23-18 AWG solid conductor range so fewer connectors are needed for specialty and application specific cables.

• All InSITE® connectors feature our patented RTQ™ compression sleeve giving each of these connectors a weatherproof seal at the cable entry point, keeping out moisture and other contaminants that compromise the mechanical and electrical performance of the connection.
• All InSITE® connectors have a 360° compression design which keeps the round dielectric geometry intact and keeps the 75Ω impedance matching to a maximum, resulting in better return loss and lower insertion loss.
• After compression, all InSITE® Connectors have a robust, all-brass exterior.
• BNC head design allows the InSITE® to mate smoother and easier with the many variations of female BNC connectors found on CCTV cameras, A/V equipment and instrumentation.

RTQ™ XR™ and RTQ™ F & RCA Compression Connectors
The RTQ™ XR™ Xtended Range F connector has been designed to work on RG-6 coax cables including Plenum versions. One connector now handles RG-6/RG-6 Quad/RG-6 Plenum and RG-6 Quad Plenum. This universal cable range enables the installer to carry a single connector when working with multiple cable types. The RTQ™ series of connectors feature all brass exteriors and a patented compression sleeve. The F connectors incorporate an inner O-ring for a robust weather-proof connection suitable for just about any application – indoors or outdoors for installations from 5MHz to 3GHz, including CATV, satellite, HDTV and other A/V based applications. All RTQ™ XR™ and RTQ™ connectors require a standard 1/4” x 1/4” cable preparation and are permanently attached to the cable when using the IDEAL OmniSeal™ Pro XL or LinearX®3 compression tool.

Pro Compression Starter Kit

Starter kit includes OmniSeal™ Pro XL Compression Tool, Coax PrepPRO®, Data T®-Cutter, and an assortment of InSITE® and RTQ™ compression connectors and adapters for HD Video and Security applications.

OMNICONN™ F-COMPRESSION CONNECTORS

OmniConn™ RG-6 (blue) and RG-6 Quad (black) compression connectors are an economical, cable specific alternate to the RTQ™ series of products. Featuring a weatherproof back seal and front-end O-ring to inhibit moisture migration, these are rated for indoor or outdoor use. The two-piece brass and plastic body comes pre-assembled for quick field termination and installation. Utilizing the same style patented adapter sleeve as the RTQ™ series, OmniConn™ connectors exceed >40 lbs. of pull force, making your connection permanent. For use in applications from 5MHz to 3GHz.

NJX™ F-COMPRESSION CONNECTORS

The NJX™ compression connector offers a high-performing, reliable, and economical solution designed for applications that do not require weatherproof connectivity. NJX™ is also great for installers looking to upgrade from traditional hex crimp or twist-on coax F termination methods. Available in F-Type interfaces for RG-6 and RG-6 Quad cables, the NJX™ connectors are an indoor cable-specific alternative to the OmniConn™ series of products. NJX™ connectors require the same 1/4” x 1/4” cable preparation and compression termination as all other IDEAL® compression connectors. Color-coded, injection-molded bodies make these connectors light, compact, and cost- effective for installers. Unlike traditional compression connectors that get shorter when compressed, the NJX™ series connectors have a post-forward design, which during compression, is “injected” into the body of the connector. Although these connectors are shorter, they still utilize the same compression settings and stroke length as all IDEAL® F-compression connectors. Once compressed, the cable is secured creating a permanent 360° compression ring on the cable. NJX™ connectors are designed for applications from 5MHz to 3GHz including CATV and satellite. For outdoor/weatherproof or universal cable compression products, the RTQ™ series of compression products is recommended.

TLC™ TOOL-LESS COMPRESSION CONNECTORS

The TLC™ (Tool-Less Compression) RG-6 and RG-6 Quad F compression connectors are our simplest, fastest and lowest total cost solution for installing compression connectors. Designed to save the installer Time, Labor, and Cost when installing indoor RG-6 F-Type connections no compression tool is required to terminate these connectors. The TLC™ connector is an indoor, cable-specific alternate to the NJX™ series of products. The TLC™ connector uses the standard 1/4” x 1/4” cable preparation, that does not require a compression tool to complete the termination process. TLC™ series connectors feature a sliding post design to capture and secure the cable inside of the connector. After the cable is inserted, tightening the connector to the device completes assembly process, creating a 360° compression point and a permanent connection. IDEAL F/BNC insertion tool (35-046) can be used (but is not required) when installing the TLC™ cable assembly to ensure connectors are properly torqued and fully seated to the female barrel. These connectors are designed for applications from 5MHz to 3GHz including CATV and satellite.

COMPRESSION CONNECTORS

OMNISEAL™ PRO XL COMPRESSION TOOL

All IDEAL® compression connectors are compatible with our flagship OmniSeal™ Pro XL (30-793) compression tool. Unlike most compression tools which require adjustments and adapters for each type of connector, this compact 6-¾“ length tool compresses nearly all IDEAL® compression connectors with no adjustments to the tool. F/BNC/RCA/RG-11 F connectors can all be terminated one after another with no setting changes. Only the 90° connectors require the post to be lowered. Patented dual spring clips and fixed top ledge enable this tool to compress more connectors than any other tool on the market. The adjustable spin knob allows for compressive forces to be placed on the rim of the connector instead of the bottom of the nut when required. This is helpful for non-IDEAL® plastic centered connectors such as 50Ω BNCs or RCAs with limited structural support. It can also be used as a larger flat surface to compress against for other types of non-traditional compression connectors. The adjustable post and spin knob, combined with three compression surface levels, give the installer virtually unlimited options for compressing current and future connector designs.

Three levels of compression surfaces. No adapter or post adjustment is needed for IDEAL® F/BNC/RCA/11F

F/BNC INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL TOOL

Use this handy tool to tighten or loosen F or BNC connectors to a mating device. Great for hard-to-reach locations and tight spaces. The patented design allows one tool to work on both F and BNC connectors. The tool has a 3“ shaft and an 8“ overall length. The contoured handle with textured non-slip grip provides comfort and a professional appearance. The tool also includes a threaded post for F connectors. The post provides leverage when inserting F connectors onto the prepped cable.

CABLE PREPARATION STRIPPING TOOLS

All IDEAL® compression connectors require a standard 1/4” X 1/4” cable preparation. This preparation (see instructions below) leaves 1/4” of the center conductor exposed and an additional 1/4” of the shielding exposed. Prep tools are available in single, two or three-blade models. Two-blade models are the most commonly used type of stripping tool for coax compression as they remove both 1/4” sections at one time during the prep. Single-blade models require two separate stripping actions for cable preparation. IDEAL has several models of cable preparation tools that are compatible with compression connectors, each having various feature choices such as user-adjustable blade depths, replaceable blades, number of active blades, product size, and hand motion required to prep the cable. Use the compatibility chart below to identify a tool that meets your preferences and installation requirements.
