Thanks for the tip on the ferrules. I've run into that situation a few times, but have usually been able to make them work when needed.
Who is hdcom? Never heard of them... I'll try to find them on the web. Thanks Eric --- In [email protected], "Bob M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Be careful. The crimp ferrule for double-shielded coax (RG142/400) is thinner than what it would be for single-shielded coax (RG58) to allow more braid to fit under it, yet still use the same crimping tool. Many vendors don't know the difference, and you'll have a heck of a time pushing/forcing the ferrule down over two layers of braid. The proper connectors are a snug fit but can be pushed down with strong fingers. > > Same thing goes for full-size connectors. RG213 (single-shield) vs RG214 (double-shield) ferrules are quite different. The inside diameter is over 20 thousandths smaller on the 213 connectors and it will not fit over two layers.
