Solution to Fix a TV Cable Wire Connector
16/06/2013 09:35
A TV cable wire, more commonly know as a coaxial cable, is a line that is able to transmit the high-frequency signals needed for receiving and displaying TV images. One important part of the cable is the RF connector, which is the metal head that brings the cable into connection with the coaxial jack that runs to your TV screen. If your signal is poor or nonexistent, you may need to fix the connector by replacing it.
1 Disconnect the damaged wire end from the jack it is screwed onto. You should also disconnect the other, undamaged connector end.
2 Use Custom Cable Assembly cutters to remove the entire damaged portion on the end of the cable. Grasp the handles firmly and pull away the damaged connector.

4 Roll back the inner tubing so it is one-fourth inch and covers the cut end of the outer tubing. The inner tubing is made up of many strands of wire, so they can be flexed backward to wrap over the black rubber tubing on the outside.
5 Slip an RF coaxial cable connector onto the cable so that the copper wire exits out the front of the connector. The lower sleeve of the connector will cover the folded back inner tubing.
6 Compress the sleeve of the connector around the cable with a coaxial crimping tool. This will make the sleeve grab the cable and prevent the connector from slipping off.
