Not in my experience! The coax is stripped in a 1/2,1/4,1/8 pattern like this: ==== ------------ ---------------- CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC ---------------- ------------ ==== The center conductor is crimped only to the "CCCC" bare center wire. There is an inner metal sleeve that slips between the shield and the center insulation. There is a metal crimp sleeve that slips over the outer insulation and the shield braid. The half of the crimp sleeve that is away from the connector restrains the outer insulation and acts as a strain relief The half of the crimp sleeve that is close to the connector crimps the bare shield against the inner metal sleeve forming the ground connection. -Chuck _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
