Before you can connect the cables, you must install connectors on each end.
To terminate the cables with F-Type connectors:
1
Cut off each end of the coax cable squarely, using the proper cable cutter.
Wear protective eye wear while cutting cables and terminating
connectors. Ensure that the center conductor is straight and
cylindrical without any burrs. Failure to do so can damage the IDU,
BUC, and/or LNB input connector.
2
Remove the jacket material and foam insulation according to the length defined
under Length A in
LC-CST 1257 from Paladin Tools.
