The correct connector seems to be a SNS-1P6QS with violet sleeve.
What is the part number or color of the connector you have??
All you should have to do, besides normal stripping prep, is fold the outer
shield over. The connector should push right on by hand.
The compression pretty much takes a tool to do right, and the stripping is
easiest with a stripping tool, but the correct connector should push right
on by hand. You might try dipping the cable end in something like alcohol or
lacquer thinner to loosen up the flooding goo, if you actually have the
correct connector.

Subject: Topband: Help installing compression connectors
Anyone have any suggestions on how to install compression connectors on
flooded RG6 quad shield coax with PE jacket? I'm using Belden Snap-N-Seal
RG6QS compression connectors but they're nearly impossible to slip on far
enough. I've tried removing the outer braid and foil and still no luck.
Maybe I should be using different connectors? The coax I'm using for the
beverage is Commscope F6SSEF / 4561804.
Thanks,
Tony/K1AMF
