Installation Instructions
IDEAL Twist-On F Connector Termination Instructions
- Use a coax stripper to strip the cable so ¼” of conductor and ¼” of braiding are exposed. (45-605 shown)
- Fold back braiding, and make sure no braids are touching the center conductor. Straighten the conductor if needed. Do not remove foil that is attached to the white dielectric (RG6/6Q)
- Center the cable over the back end of the connector and push the connector on to cable until resistance is felt. Then begin twisting connector body clockwise while pushing towards the cable.
- Twist until the cable is fully seated. When the white dielectric is flush with the bottom of the nut connector is fully seated.
- Connect to a device.
