[QUOTE="Chappers, post: 520712, member: 290430"] Considering this is underground RG11, the outside is very solid, and my attempts at pushing one of the connectors on that we already have (with the inner sleeve and center pin) are completely futile, it doesn't even go 1mm into the area between sheath and foam. In this situation, is that what the compression tools are for? Although this same connector is used on the site, I've never seen any of them crimped at the base, although the same ones (from appearance) on aerial parts websites claim they're crimp-on connectors. The ones on our system are impossible to pull off by hand or tool even without the crimping having been done which leads me to think they're just designed to be forced onto the cable and the sheer force needed means they won't just come off. It's the tractor that moves caravans running over them that manages to pull some connectors off, the others are just lossy and need replacing. [/QUOTE]
