How to fix coaxial cable

**lifewire** · 18-05-2009

Hi,

You know what is the proper way to install coaxial cable ends ?. I want to trim that length down to something more reasonable. I have cable tv. i heard that the proper way to splice coax is to use connectors. can i use Wire stripper or knife Crimp connector tool ?

Thank you

Hi,

Coaxial cable strippers and crimpers can be found at any hardware store and come in a variety of styles and price ranges. buy Snap-N-Seal or the Stirling style connectors. The connectors are more firmly bound to the cable and thus less likely to pull off. you can find it from here.
