RG6 Crimp Connectors - What to Buy?

[AMD Lover]

Is there any reason I can't use these weatherproof connectors inside as well? Also is there any better quality connectors? I'm running new shielded coax and wondering what the best option was. Lastly, will this crimping tool work for the coax connector?

No reason you can't use them indoors, and that's a good tool. are there better ones? sure, but in my many years of making connectors, it really doesn't matter for indoor connections. What matters the most is how you construct them. do it well, and you won't have any problems.

I will have one crimp outside, the rest will be made inside.

if nothing else use coax seal on the outdoor connection.

remember, seal starting from the bottom and work your way UP.

 

They also make shrink tubing that has hot glue on the inside. That stuff works GREAT!!!
