IIRC the same connectors fit CNT240 that fit 8X and RG6, at least the 
crimp connectors do.
I've found the shield to be quite fragile on the CNT240 as well as the 
center conductor if there is going to be much movement as in feeding, 
center fed sloping dipoles.  When cutting the jacket, just score it and 
then separate it at the score line by bending the cable slightly.
