Worked like a charm! I was concerned after reading some of the comments regarding this connector not working on RG6/Quad, but after watching both the videos from Ideal's product specialist, I knew failure wasn't an option! Peeling back the second layer of foil was a bit of a challenge, but once done the connector slipped on with just the right amount of pressure; compression tooled and resulting connector is a winner!

Not sure how to explain this product, it was okay if you only had to put it on a specific side of the cable. I found that for some reason when you laid the cable out and cut it to length. there was one end this connector would slip on easily and completely, but at the other end of the cable it was difficult to impossible. That may have to do with the direction the cable was wrapped internally and I am still trying to get all my connections completed because after a couple of them the fingers get extremely sore. And for further information I do use new tools for the removal of the outer casings and prepping the cable along with a crimper.

Hi SoreFingers putting on an F connector just takes a little practice but something about anyone can learn to do. If you need help I have a lot of video up on making the connectors. Reach out to me at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com or Google my name.

Don't buy for quad!!!!
I bought these to use on RG6 Quad Shield, so my rating is biased. If you are using these for regular RG6 I would give a 5* rating.
Virtually impossible to get onto quad shield, and when you finally do, the Quad Shield crumples below the connector and/or the connector is loose. Tried this connector on a couple of pieces of regular RG6, it worked like a charm!

Shipsta Sorry to hear you had an issue using the connectors. With quad shield after you make the two-step strip exposing a quarter inch of center conductor and a quarter inch of braid. Fold back the outer braid first and remove the first layer of foil then fold back the second layer braid over the first layer then install the connector and it should go on much easier. Take care Ron at Ron.kipper@idealindustries.com

Hi cuper I am not sure what your issue is? The connector won't fit the cable or won't fit in the tool? Let me know Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com and maybe I can help.

useless for quad
The connectors are excellent for regular RG6 and trishield, but it's almost impossible to slide onto RG6 quad (RG6Q). It wouldn't be a problem if Ideal didn't claim it did.

Quality is Great - Easy to use
These compression connectors are fast and easy to attach. The price at Home Depot cannot be beat anywhere for the 50 pack
