2. When you cut the coaxial cable, it is best to use "cable cutters" to obtain a clean symmetrical
cut. Diagonal pliers or straight jaw cutters will deform the coaxial cable and may cause problems
crimping on the BNC connector ferrule. The rounded cutting jaws of cable cutter pliers prevent
the coaxial cable from being deformed, and provide a round uniform base for the BNC
connector ferrule to firmly attach to. Coaxial cable deformation also adversely affects the
operation of the coaxial cable stripper, since the cable is grossly out of round.
3. Strip .563" from the outer sleeve of the coaxial cable.
4. Strip .250" from the coaxial shielding and flare the shielding slightly.
5. Strip .125" from the coaxial dielectric.
6. Insert the male contact pin so that it butts up against the dielectric, crimp it in place using an
Ideal Industries 30‐483 coax crimping tool.
7. Insert the connector body assembly over the dielectric and shielding and snap it into place.
Make sure the center pin is completely seated in the connector body. Make sure none of the
coaxial braided shield wires are allowed to make contact with the center conductor.
