I have RG6 quad shielded run through my house. I've tried two different types of connectors and crimping tools but still have marginal luck getting a strong, tight connection. How do the pros do it?

Thanks.

I started using this type.

The special tool pushes the plastic sleve into the connector making a very strong connection.

Connectors and the tool were available at Home Improvement stores

Thanks guys! I'm headed to the electronics supply store to see if they can fix me up with some of this stuff. I appreciate it.

Kent, been in the catv industry for 16 years. The connectors the industry uses, as a whole, are a compression type fitting. The ones we use at the office are Gilbert Ultra-Range. (GF-UR-6)
They work on dual Rg-6, tri-shield Rg-6 and quad shield Rg-6. You will need the right prep tool.
Cable-prep makes a variety of strippers to accomplish this. ( CPT-659 ) is the one we use. The "crimper" or compression tool is also from cable prep ( CAT ). Good Luck

they have a twist type connector that work really well. most places have them.they have knurls on the end so you can get a grip on them to twist. so much better connections.

I agree with Tim. i use a multi stage crimper similar to what he is using.

Good ( proper ) tools cost more.. but work better for some applications.

I use ratchet crimpers. They work very well. I had the same problem you are until switching over. I bought mine at an electronics store. I use paladin 1300 series crimpers. I also have the die set to crimp insulated butt terminals which works better than any other hand crimper. Link
