Hi,
I just obtained some Commscope FXL-780 smooth wall 7/8 hardline. No
connectors came with it.
I ordered some Commscope 78EZNF-N Female Connectors which are
designed for this cable, but what I'm not sure about is how to prep
the cable for these connectors unless you use the Commscope prep
tools to do this. I can only find very expensive tools for this and I
only need to attach a connector on each end and then the tool is
useless to me.
The connector is seen here:

1
or use this link: http://tinyurl.com/zp35ev3
The foam has to be cored out, the jacket removed & I understand there
is a flaring to be made on the center conductor and also one on the
shield before joining the two halves of the connector. I'm not aware
of how you do this by hand without the speciality tools. I don't know
the dimensions or depths of the cuts/foam removal.
Any suggestions?
Thanks & 73,
Gary
