Making the Right Connection
with Hex Connectors
Making a coaxial cable connection is critical. If you have the
basic technique right you can modify it to your own personal
taste. Whether you use a knife, stripping tool or diagonal cutter,
the important thing is to make a good clean cut. A hex crimping
tool is required for hex connectors, for maximum RF transmis-

As mentioned before, the choice of tools is yours. Be sure you
do a precise job. Failure to do so can cost you time and money
in trying to locate a system problem.
