I'd have to actually compare both connectors, but I think you will find
that it takes a bit of extra hand work as the crimp and clamp connectors
require slightly different lengths of insulation and shield be stripped
back. Although I have strippers for crimp and clamp, N and UHF
connectors to fit most cables, I often resort to box cutters. CNT-240
is particularly fussy about stripping tools be properly adjusted and as
I mentioned before, it has a very fragile shield. Still with care, you
can make good, solid connections.
Their view of 8X and mine differ a bit as I've never seen 8X that didn't
have the soft jacket. CNT-240 has a jacket that is quite stiff.
