Thanks-Joe Scottnot 09-19-2009, 01:27 PM If you're only going to be doing a few connectors, spend your money on the twist on type; something like these: http://www.summitsource.com/philips-rg6-ftype-twiston-connector-gold-plated-12-lot-pack-ph61028-digital-video-signal-component-coaxial-cable-tool-less-plug-rg6-connectors-part-ph61028-p-8797.html Loves2Watch 09-19-2009, 02:23 PM How about this - http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000G7SH48/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new psilka 09-19-2009, 05:33 PM If you're only going to be doing a few connectors, spend your money on the twist on type; something like these: http://www.summitsource.com/philips-rg6-ftype-twiston-connector-gold-plated-12-lot-pack-ph61028-digital-video-signal-component-coaxial-cable-tool-less-plug-rg6-connectors-part-ph61028-p-8797.html Seems like good idea. I would like to get others opinions on this type of connector Loves2Watch 09-19-2009, 05:40 PM Seems like good idea. I would like to get others opinions on this type of connector I have found them to come off the ends of the cable or work their way loose. Just my experience... pldepot 09-22-2009, 10:22 PM You may consider the Ripley Universal Compression Tool (http://www.pldepot.com/p-82-ripley-ultraseal-compression-tool.aspx). It is a moderately priced tool that will last a lifetime and works with numerous styles of RG6 Compression Connectors, such as Digicon (http://www.pldepot.com/p-96-digicon-ds6-rg6-f-connectors-bag-of-100.aspx) and Gilbert. Hope this helps... psilka 09-23-2009, 08:23 PM You may consider the Ripley Universal Compression Tool (http://www.pldepot.com/p-82-ripley-ultraseal-compression-tool.aspx).
