Guide to Fitting an 'F' Connector

Diagram of f connector

Step1

First cut the cable to the required length

Step2

Strip away approximately 15 mm of outer insulation. Next, gather strands of copper braid together and wind back around the outer insulation. If cable is tape and braid, cut tape to be flush with outer insulation

Step3

Strip away about half of the inner insulation around the inner copper wire. Check that none of the copper braid is touching the inner copper wire

Step4

Feed the inner copper wire through the connector and screw clockwise to tighten

Step5

Finally cut off inner copper wire to about 3mm beyond the plug body.
