    Default Where to buy RG6 F Connector Compression tool

    Can anybody advise me what is the best compression tool and where to buy. I have purchased some PPCEX6-XL RG6 compression fittings and need the tool.
    Google only brings up one and that's at Scitec.

    Hi Falco,

    Not trying to be smart but if you search this forum there was a discussion on this topic a few months ago.

    Good luck.

    ATTITUDE that looks like the Jaycar one. The PPC one is totally different to that.
    Thanks for the link

    I also noticed Photonage.com.au have . I think that does what you're after, doesn't it? I've not used compression connectors before.

    Now we know what it is and that you are smarter than us.
    Pray tell, why would we want to use instead of a crimping tool?
    Pros and cons?



    Looks overly complicated to me.

    I think the Arsetar HD upgrades / installs use compression fittings on the cables now. They will not use the crimp ended cables anymore. Even if the crimped cables are already there, they make new compression ended cables or fit new compression ends.
    Something about the crimped ends can come loose or can be unreliable, and the compression ended cables are no loss, low loss, or something.

    The RG6 et al compression fittings, per 100, 1000 etc are a little more costly, but per above post, are a nicer termination. Solid too.

    Easy to hand wind etc.

    We should mebbe get a tutorial together sometime for these, noting the colour band (green etc) and what that means. How to prepare rah rah and so on.
