I have seen this phenomenon many times with RG8 using type N connectors
The only solution I know for that case is to switch to UHF connectors
don't allow the dielectric to move relative to the center conductor.
Does anyone else understand this behavior?

I have a circle 8 array and the center dielectric seems to grow after I
put connectors on. Enough that the connector works itself off the
switching unit. There is at least 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch coming out past
where it should on the connector. I am using quality compression
connectors. Do I need to stretch this coax out? I don't recall the
brand but I think it was decent quality cable. Has anyone else seen this?
