Questions & Answers
Will these support wire RG6 CAT5 quad shield wire.
They will work for all types of rg6 coaxial cable, including quad shield. Make sure the external shielding metal is completely isolated from the copper core once it’s crimped in the connector, and that the copper core conductor extends about 1/16-1/8 past the threads of the swivel.
The question makes no sense. These are for Coaxial cable (coax) like RG6. Coax is the cable with a wire down the center and a shield around that (2 conductors). Cat5 is a completely different kind of wire. It consists of 4 twisted pairs of wire (total 8 conductors) It uses RJ45 connectors. Also, never use Cat5. It's been obsolete for 15 years. Use Cat6. These are the best connectors we found for coax.
The Klein Tools Universal F Compression Connectors for RG6/6Q feature a universal sleeve that fits all major brands of RG6 and RG6Q cable. Please contact Klein Tools customer service at 800-553-4676 for assistance with cable prep.
does universal F connectors fit all sizes cables
No, it will specify on the package what it will work with. Unfortunately not all coax RG59 and RG6 are the same diameter. The outer cover and the dielectric plus shielding or braid will vary.
The Klein Tools model # VDV812-612 Universal F Compression Connectors for RG6/6Q feature a universal sleeve that fits all major brands of RG6 and RG6Q cable.
Can these be used outside above ground?
They are not rated as weatherproof connectors. That said, enclosing them in weather boots (typically supplied with antennas) will ensure they last for many years. Slip the boot over the wire before fastening the connector!
No there isn't any seal
These connectors are not designed for outdoor use
Yes, they can, however they should be protected from the weather. If you are putting up a permanent connection, you don't want to have to regularly check the connection for moisture, when you start having reception issues; so do it right the first time. There are electrical tape-like waterproofing products that can be used, or you could silicone the connection completely. Also,make sure that your connection is TIGHT!
