Stew Perry Topband Distance Challenge coming on December 29th.
Can anyone tell me how to prepare this RG-6 (F-6) for snap-n-seal
connectors? Do I fold the braid back over the jacket? If so, how far?
And is the same true for RG-11 (F-11)?
The temp is going to drop here in two days and I won't be able to do this
after that in time for the Stew Perry. Since
I bought some of these from this seller and this eBay listing number, and
they arrived today. Just thought I'd mention that there are no O-ring seals.
I didn't try them yet; I have to figure out the best way to prepare the
coax. Any suggestions?
I'm using Commscope flooded quad-shield RG-6 (F-6)
I would like to thank everyone who replied to my question both in PMs and

No problem at all here, using two or three types of compression F
connectors. PE jacket flooded direct burial RG6 type cable, one foil
and braid, NOT quad shield. They have been in service now for 4
years with no issues. Best part is my local squirrels don't seem to

I am having no luck with either double or quad shield compression or older

An old trick that works with hoses on barb connectors is to
heat up
Just completed cables for an active receive 4 square with Commscope PE jacketed
flooded RG6 (660-BEF), 1000' on ebay for $35. I used the weathertight
compression fittings and a Radio Shack stepped prep cutter. RS has the tools
cheap. Extra care is needed to remove the braid shards since
