THE CIMPLE CO BNC Compression Connector for RG6 Coaxial Cable - Pack of 50 - Solid Construction with High Grade Metals - Male BNC Connectors for CCTV, SDI, HD-SDI, Siamese, Security Camera

So once I figured out how to use these they do work great. I would however call them a 2 piece compression connector but they work. Make sure when you compress them that you stop when you feel the click otherwise you will damage the connector and will have to chop it off but I figured out how to make it work.1. Pull the back boot off and slide it on the cable after stripping the cable2. Push the connector onto the center conductor and make sure it is fully seated.3. Push the back boot onto the connector.4. Insert the connector into your compression tool and compress until you feel a click. Once you feel the click back off or you will damage the connector. If you have a ratcheting compression tool you may need to adjust out your tool to prevent damaging these connectors.I use these to make HD-SDI cable and 3G-SDI cable and they work great for that application. Highly recommend these.

Let me start by stating, this is the Second time using compression connectors, ( I've been using Crimps for many years). After having few poor crimps, I decided to try comp.... I purchased a brand name tool and a few of their connectors from a big-box-store. I was very impressed ! But this store didn't carry enough of the BNC's that I needed. Turning to Amazon, I found these BNC's at the same price as the others.. Very Happy with the fast shipping, until I opened the package. Ok, sure I need to put the 2 halves together Before inserting the RG6 coaxial. That was Not Fun ! Fingers that grip coaxial, most were bent way out-of-use, some broke off. Was able to use 1 and the connections appears to be fine. I freely admit, I don't know what I was doing, but comparing the other brand i purchased, was so much simpler and easy. I will be purchasing more of the store brand and waiting on 1 1/2 week shipping. Yes- I also watched videos to learn what I was doing.

I find your product excellent in quality, and I intend to recommend it to others that might need the same thing. The only problem I found was that the package I received was missing one BNC compression fitting. I don't think it was intentional because the package was sealed, but they are expensive and it should come complete. The point I am making is that if this is a problem when packing is done, the price would hike up. I am not trying to get the one missing part, but making a point for the manufacturer to assure that the packages are complete. Thank you for making an excellent product.

Quality:1: Sleeve did not stay on connector at all with first compression. Adjusted tool depth & compressed again with no change.2: 2nd connector shattered immediately with the same settings as the first connector.3: Neither passed signal.I have built data, telco, & AV networks for decades so am no stranger to these devices & tools. I know exactly how to use and adjust compression tools and the varied different connectors. Switched to Klein brand & saw a great connection each time. Save your time & money - avoid this product.

Poor quality connector:1) most of them did not stay on the cable, and just pull right off the end with minimal force.2) if you squeeze too tightly when installing the plug shatters - very thin metal; not durable3) connection quality hit and miss. Around 50% did not pass signal and had to be remade.Switched out with IDEAL brand (as sold at lowes) and good connections every time. These are cheap but it's not a saving as so many break, fall off, or just don't work and you get through a lot more connectors to get the job done.

I had to learn the hard way to adjust the insertion tool to fully insert the connector. The colored o-ring is suppose to be completely covered if the connector is inserted all the way. I had to learn that by having a couple fail first. Instructions would have been nice.

THIRD CIMPLE product purchase.....yet to have remotely satisfactory results. While I realize there are many cheap cable options that have different diameter.....most are within spec YET these fittings FAIL......one after another. BTW...I use the best equipment available for installs. I have tried everything. FAIL....FAIL....FAIL !

Quality to price ratio is very good. However if your application is for outdoor usage then weather proofing is critical. No solder fittings have at most lasted 3-5 years for me unless steps are use to prevent corrosion internal and external for the connection.
