How to Use a BNC Compression Crimper: Step-by-Step Guide

1. Strip the coaxial cable so the shield, dielectric, and inner conductor are exposed per connector datasheet (usually 6 mm shield, 3 mm dielectric).
2. Slide the BNC compression connector onto the cable, ensuring the central conductor seats fully.
3. Insert into the crimper's die. Select the right die/dimension for your connector and cable type.
4. Squeeze handles until the ratchet or full cycle completes-the connector's sleeve compresses tightly onto the cable.
5. Visually check for a secure, flush fit. Repeat for each cable end as needed.

Tips and Troubleshooting

• Use a compatible coax stripping tool for consistent cable prep.
• If a crimp fails, re-trim the cable-crimping onto distorted or contaminated conductors may cause high resistance or shorts.
• For frequent jobs, consider a ratcheting or ergonomic grip model to reduce hand fatigue.
• Always test terminated cables with a simple continuity tester or CCTV image before completing installations.

Accessories and Compatible Products

• BNC compression connectors (RG59/RG6/RG11)
