Twist on BNC Connector
1. Trim Cable as shown. Taking care not to nick the center conductor or outer braid.
2. Twist the outer braid in a clockwise direction in such a manner that at least 1/32 of inner dielectirc is bared, and the braid is left flat. (stray or loose braid can cause shorts)
3. Gently insert the center conductor down into the back end of the connector, feeling it into the guide hole. When the center conductor is not in place approx 1/8" of center conductor will show.
4. Firmly push the cable home as far as possible. Then screw the connector on the cable in a clockwise direction until it stops.
