Don't re-invent the wheel. There are cable installers all over the
place--these are people who are given the tools and connectors by
Comcast and other big companies to make high reliability
installations. When you see a cable truck out on location stop and
ask the guy what he uses. If you explain why you are interested, you
will probably get all the information you need to order the F males
and tools yourself, but also find out what they use for cable. It's
usually Belden "drop cable" high quality outdoor RG6. My experience
has been these materials and tools are superior to what the ham radio
vendors sell.
