THE BOTTOM LINE LaNE popular than either twisted-pair or fiber- connector mounting systems, and each has optic cable conl modern video systems. There are several types of all coaxial cable connectors. Although less popular than either 431 ble connectors, you may still encounter the need for installing coaxial Laster It Basically, two types of connectors exist crimp-on and screo-on (also known as the connector, and then crimp the its advantages and disadvantages. e crimp-on connectors require that you strip the cable, insert the cable into RNC connectors used for LAN applications use this installation method.

Most nectors, on the other hand, have threads inside the connector that allow the connector to he screwed onto the jacket of the coaxial cable. These threads cut into the jacket and keep the connector from coming loose. Which one of these methods is considered less reliable and why? Which is the recommended connector type? Install fiber-optic cable connectors. This chapter covered detailed installation procedures for fiber-optic cable connectors. Similar to twisted-pair connectors, it is important to under- stand some key aspects that will make this easier Master It 1. What color surface should you use to perform the connector mounting and why? 2. Fiber-optic cables typically have a specific yarn that will need to be cut back. Whatis this made of and what types of scissors are required? 3. What is the proper size of the bead of epoxy to expel into the connector? 4.
