PHAT SATELLITE 50 Pieces RG6 Belden PPC EX6XLWSPLUS Weather Boot Aqua Tight EX Series Weather Proof Anti-Corrosion Nickel-Plated Brass Construction Coaxial Cable Compression Connectors

These coax ends are the real deal. These are the same ones the cable guy used for cable repairs a year ago. When using the stripper tool make sure you blade adjustments are good before using these ends and installation will go good. These ends have the weather seals i just yanked the seal out with pliers when i didnt need exterior seals for interior connections.

These are great. We were first time coax cable makers that used these to run a new line from our junction box at the street to our panel. Don’t tell Cox, k thx. This review may be useful if you’ve never done this before. We found these only to be marginally more difficult to use than the ones that came with the Klein kit we used, once we understood how they were designed. We used: * 4x shielded Mediabridge RG6 cable (Part# CC6QB-500) and * Klein’s stripper/tester/crimper kit VDV002-818 The Klein connectors from the kit were easy to practice with, and very simple to install. As you would expect, they came with the kit. As others have commented these connectors here are superior if weather proofing is a concern, but they require a little more finesse than the Klein ones did. Only slightly. First we stripped the end as per usual, leaving both the bare center wire, and a small section exposing the shielding. The Klein stripper is really satisfying to use. For the Mediabridge cable we had, these connectors then required the following: 1. Peel back the wire mesh shielding and fold it away from the end 2. Peel back one layer of the solid foil shielding and fold it back away from the end 3. Fold the next wire mesh layer back away from the end 4. Now (with the some shielding remaining in place) feed the core into the inner connector tube. 5. With some force, push the core into the connector until the plastic of the tip is flush with the connector base. Force required for the last step was moderate. Consider twisting slightly as you feed it, involving two people, or mounting the connector so you can get your body weight behind it. For us, hand feeding was sufficient. Your mileage may vary. Wasted only one of these to figure out the above, and subsequent installations were bulletproof once we understood how they wanted to install onto our particular cable (maybe all cable? Dunno). The first one we did was wasted because we peeled all of the shielding back, including the outer sheath, all the way down to where the cable feeds into the connector. So, we were feeding the plastic core only into the connector, which leaves too little for the connector to grab onto and compress to when you install it. Slips right off. Using the method above led to a good solid fit, and seems to be in alignment with the design. Hope this helps!

Seems well made and certainly looks effective at keeping out the elements. They crimp on fine like any others. I like how the rubber part squishes in a satisfyingly protective manner as you tighten the connection. Really not sure what else to say given that these appear to simply be exactly as described.

These are built solid and hold tight to the coax cable. The RG-6 Quad shielded cable required a little convincing from my heat guun (or a hair dryer would likely work) and flaring tool. These BELDEN PPC EX6XLWSPLUS Weather Boot Aqua Tight EX series Weather Proof Anti-Corrosion Nickel-Plated Brass Construction Coaxial Cable Compression Connectors wouldn't go on to the PHAT SATELLITE RG-6 Quad shielded coax cable without using my heat guun and RG-6 flaring tool. If applying heat to soften the RG-6 sheath, don't go hotter than 350 degrees Fahrenheit; else you may melt the plastic core that wraps around the copper core like I did. I used this weather proof connector outside to connect the PHAT SATELLITE RG-6 Quad shielded coax cable to my antenna. It made a very nice weather proof seal. I'm hoping that it lasts for next 100 years so that I don't have to crawl on to our roof again for a very long time.

Look no further, these are genuine PPC/Belden brand outdoor connectors. I picked up 20 for 10 bucks, pretty happy with them.

At first I was a bit confused because the inside didn’t look the same as other connectors I had on hand. I went to the products website looked up the item number and there was a video. Took 2 minutes to watch it and was perfect on the first try. My husband and I own an RV Park where we provide each site with its own internet modem so I have a bunch of cables I need to prepare. Would purchase again! Thank you Phat Satellite!

I am very pleased with my purchase of these high-quality connectors. They had a fair price and I received them quickly.

Used a monoprice compression crimper tool and over-did it on the first try. Once I saw that, I watched the process closer and stopped when the black sleeve stopped sliding in freely. Perfect results. Quad shield was more difficult to insert properly but was able to get that working as well using elbow grease.

The produce is exactly as described by seller. This F style connector is a little longer then the Regular Non XL connector. As such the compression tools I have can fully compress these connectors. Also this product suits my requirements

Good quality connectors with excellent weatherproof protection.
