attach a coaxial cable jack

Posted by Jan Philips on November 7, 2009, 7:54 pm

I need to attach one coaxial cable jack. I've never done it before
but I know the idea. I don't have a crimping tool. Can it be crimped
well enough with pliers instead of a proper crimping tool?

If you go to radio shack, they should have screw on coax connectors. You can
probably get it to work with a pliers, but it may come apart

Thanks. When I was in the store I didn't see screw-on ones, but I'll
ask.

I think I found the screw on ones at Radio Shack. I've worked in the
electronics industry most of my life an I'm picky about things like
connectors. The screw on ones I got really work great!

screw on ones are very bad for satellite use, where they must carry
power.
