Instructions / Assembly

1) Use coax stripper to strip

cable so ¼” of conductor

and ¼” of braiding are

exposed. (45-605 shown)

3) Center cable over back end of

connector and push connector on

to cable until fully seated.

Dielectric flush with bottom of nut.

2) Fold back braiding, make sure

no braids are touching the

center conductor. Straighten

conductor if needed. Do not

remove foil that is attached to

the white dielectric (RG6/6Q)

5) Place assembly in appropriate

crimp tool cavity (30-503 shown)

and crimp.

6) Verify connector is fully crimped

and the body is not cracked or

pinched from incorrect tool cavity

being used.

IDEAL F Crimp Termination Instructions

RG6 coax is used in this example. General preparation instructions are the same for all IDEAL F crimp

connectors. When working with RG6 Quad cable, the outer foil can be removed, and the inner braiding

should be folded down. This makes it easier to push the connector on to the cable. For IDEAL F crimp

connectors, RG6 and RG59 use the middle cavity of the 30-503 tool (.320” hex). The RG6 Quad F uses the

largest cavity (.350” hex)

4) When crimping the connector,

only crimp the areas below the

shoulder ring.
