Even experts need coaxial training for compression heads - More Online Here - www.bridgecable.com/data-comm...
Paul even makes mistakes or needs a guiding hand! The 1st part of the video shows a introduction from master Ray with Bridgecable.com doing a compression head. Simple enough but later part of the video Paul struggles with doing this task. Paul thought this was a great video to include and promote online for training. Paul has for years cabled various data centers and projects but the basics sometimes are forgotten or need a brush up. Just because you see a video, hands on training is a must! Teach up on the new tools and then test in house before the pressures of being on the job distract you. At Bridge Global Services or known as BridgeCable.com we get various techs in from Comcast or other "old school" cable companies in the Philadelphia area. Our new construction typically focuses on MDF or IDF creations with CAT6 or even CAT5e for APs, Security Cameras or various network data cabling. Random times we are asked to do heads or extend a coaxial head.....and new hires might struggle. In-House we training for a few days on the basics.....even terminations. Your structured cabling systems are only as good as the heads or connections of your terminations.

Here are five tips for crimping a coaxial cable in network cabling:
1. Use the right tools: Invest in a high-quality coaxial cable crimping tool specifically designed for the type of coaxial cable you are working with. This will ensure a proper and secure connection.
2. Strip the cable correctly: Use a coaxial cable stripper to remove the outer insulation without damaging the inner conductor or shielding. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific cable you are working with.
3. Trim the shielding and dielectric: After stripping the cable, carefully trim the shielding and dielectric to the appropriate length. This will ensure a clean connection and prevent signal loss or interference.
4. Use the correct connectors: Choose connectors that are compatible with the type of coaxial cable you are using. Different cables may require different connectors, so make sure to select the appropriate ones for your specific application.
5. Apply even pressure when crimping: When crimping the connector onto the cable, apply even pressure to ensure a secure and reliable connection. Avoid over-crimping, as this can damage the cable or connector.
Remember, it is always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for the specific coaxial cable and connectors you are working with to ensure proper installation.
Coaxial cabling is still used in current office installations for several reasons:
1. Broadband and cable TV connectivity: Coaxial cables are commonly used to provide high-speed internet access and cable television services to offices. They offer reliable and efficient transmission of broadband signals, making them suitable for delivering high-bandwidth data and video content.
2. Long-distance transmission: Coaxial cables are capable of carrying signals over longer distances without significant signal degradation. This makes them ideal for connecting different areas within an office building or between multiple office locations.
3. Resistance to interference: Coaxial cables have excellent shielding properties, which protect the transmitted signals from external electromagnetic interference. This is particularly important in office environments where multiple electronic devices and sources of interference may be present.
4. Compatibility with existing infrastructure: Many office buildings already have coaxial cabling infrastructure in place. Upgrading or utilizing this existing infrastructure can be a cost-effective solution for implementing new network connections or expanding the network within the office.
5. Security and privacy: Coaxial cables offer a higher level of security compared to wireless connections. They are less susceptible to unauthorized access or interception, making them suitable for transmitting sensitive data within an office environment.
While newer technologies like fiber optics and wireless connectivity are gaining popularity, coaxial cabling continues to be a reliable and widely used option in office installations due to its proven performance, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness.
