Example tuTorial

This is a practice exercise for correctly attaching a Type F connector to an RG-6 quad-shielded cable. It is from course GVF 510, Core Skills for VSAT Technicians, but is also used in other field technician courses as a refresher.

Improperly terminated cables can be a huge cause of poor performance, intermittent connections, and interference.  Attaching a connector requires craftmanship and attention to details.  In this exercise, the student must make a series of correct decisions as they work their way through the procedure they have been taught in earlier tutorials.  Correct and incorrect choices are shown with photographs of real hardware and tools.
