I must be missing something..
I'm trying to fit some Tyco F Series connectors to RG6 cable. The tyco part number is 5-1814826-3 which is correct for RG6/U. The data sheet says the crimping tool must crimp down to 8.6mm across the flats. My tool crimps to
8.2mm so it should be an over tight tight crimp but the result is hopeless - way too loose - the connector can be pulled off easily. The cutting diagram for the cable braid is clear enough but the dimensions imply the braid shouldn't be folded back over the sheath as with other F series I've used.The Tyco connector is designed for RG6/U - I assume that's the same diameter as RG6?
