[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 519477, member: 175057"] Not keen on that guide, don't like the twisting of the outer braid for one, as it potentially leaves an air gap up through the connector body, thus requiring the slapping on of silicone grease, which contrary to what the guide says, has little or no influence on the performance or survival of the connection, if suitable weatherproofed when connected to the LNB. A good installation is wrapped in self amalgamating tape afterwards, which will maintain the connection in perfect condition for many years, I have removed the tape from many a 10 year old (sometimes older) installation, to reveal a brand new "F" connector and bright shiny copper braid . My picture guide for the fitting of a [URL="http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/694091-post14.html"]compression connector[/URL] is fine for use with a screw on "F" connector, I will add some photos to it in the near future .
