[TowerTalk] Fw: CATV Hardline: connectors?

[Hector Garcia XE2K]

Mike:
that 1/2 inch 75 ohms cable  is very easy to put
connectors

cut the cable , remove 1 inch of jacket,  use a dremel
or any other tool that can remove the foam insulator
around 3/4 inch deep  don't cute or damage the center
, is aluminun copper cladd  use an UHF barrel  that
fit in the center conductor , in this steep , you can
desansembly this one and solder the center of the
barrel to the center conductor in the coax or  just
put in under presure , later use a clamp to leave firm
the barrel in the soft aluminum of the coax.

there in the google you can find several ways to do it
, also a copper plumbing option and other similar that
works, the one i try to explain is very easy and you
don't need a university degree to do it

good luck
