Topband: RG6 connectors

Hi Jim:

Using the right connector for the cable you have is critical. 
Some connectors will appear OK to work initially - then within a few months
time the center conductor will pull back - or the shield connection will
fail.

With the correct cable/connector combination and with the right tools - F
connectors can be installed in less than 60 seconds - and last a long time.

Gary, 

I had this problem once when I used the wrong connections.. the ones I had
were for RG-59 instead of RG-6 

Check carefully they look alike if unsure get new ones
