Overview of Features:
Step 1:Cut the end of the RG-6 cable cleanly with sharp cutters at a 90° angle.
Step 2: Insert the RG-6 coax into the wire stripper so the end of the coax wire is flush with the side of the wire strip tool.
Step 3:Turn the wire strip tool five or six full and continuous revolutions around the coax wire.
Step 4:The two cutoff sections should be approximately 6.35mm long.
The small ‘drain’ wires around the outside of the aluminum jacket should not be nicked or cut by the wire strip tool.
Step 5:Fold the small ‘drain’ wires back over the PVC jacket. Inspect the wires carefully to insure all wires are folded back neatly.
Also look closely at the aluminum jacket to insure it is laying flat against the white dielectric foam.
Step 6:Gently fit the PV-6 RidgeLoc™ connector onto the coax cable. Insure the connector slides over the top of the aluminum foil layer. Press the fitting onto the coax with side-to-side motion.
Twist (or rotate) the fitting so it can slide down into the coax wire.
Step 7:The fitting will slide down into the coax wire smoothly if you have aligned everything properly.
Continue pushing and twisting until the white dielectric foam is flush with the inside face of the connector.
Step 8:Compete the attachment of the RidgeLoc™ connector by compressing the fitting in a good quality compression tool.
