Cable Preparation & Termination
1. Connectors are color coded for cable type. See chart below
or manufacturers recommendation.
2. Strip cable to dimensions shown on chart. Remove cable
jacket and dielectric.
3. Fold exposed braid back over cable jacket leaving smooth
foil attached to dielectric.
4. For Quad Shield Cable: Fold outer braid back over jacket,
remove outer foil and fold inner braid back over jacket.
5. Trim center conductor to proper length, see (A) dimension.
6. Insert cable into rear of connector. Insertion depth is shown
on chart. For
F connectors
, dielectric should be flush with
support mandrel face.
• The key to a good crimp is proper cable & connector prep.
• When crimping other mfg’s connectors, minor adjustments
to the crimp height may needed. Simply adjust adapter up
or down.
• Keep adapters secured in tool to prevent loss.
Tips & Tricks
The
SealSmart
Crimping Tool is designed for terminating
compression style connectors on coaxial cables. It is
compatible with most other connector manufactures.
1. Tool Set Up:
Adapters for crimping ‘F’, RCA & BNC style
connectors are included with the tool and store in handle
when not in use. See figure 1. Note, right angle style
SealSmart
connectors do not require adapters.
2.
Adapter mounting:
Mount adapter in threaded hole in
tool jaw (see Figure 2 & 3). Locking nut should be tight to
bottom of tool jaw to prevent damage to adapter.
3. Crimping process:
A. Place connector assembly into tool. See Figure 3.
B. Squeeze tool slightly to hold assembly in place.
Make sure connector is positioned correctly on
adapter. See figure 3.
C. Continue to squeeze tool until compression ring is
fully seated into the base of the connector body.
Inspect gasket seal ring for uniformity (Figure 3).
D. After crimping, if gasket seal ring appears uneven,
rotate assembly 180 degrees & re-crimp.
