Hi Jim: Using the right connector for the cable you have is critical. Some connectors will appear OK to work initially - then within a few months time the center conductor will pull back - or the shield connection will fail.
With the correct cable/connector combination and with the right tools - F connectors can be installed in less than 60 seconds - and last a long time. 73!
