Klein Tools VDV813-607 Universal BNC Compression Coax Connector, for RG6/6Q Coaxial Cables, Male, 10-Pack

Don't be me. Do as I say, not as I do.I read everyone online. "You're making a 3G SDI cable? Make sure you buy decent BNC connectors. Klein's are great!". I looked at the prices, and I thought I knew better.I read other people online. "If you're not buying universal BNC connectors, make sure you precisely match the brand of cable and connector, they don't always crimp correctly otherwise." I looked at the prices, and I thought I knew better.After wasting time, money, and effort ... I coughed up (what would have, by this point, now been cheaper...) the money for these universal RG6/6Q BNC connectors - and the Klein Tools compression crimper tool (VDV211-048 - it was on offer at the time).I did _not_ buy the cutter tool, rather I used the measurements stated in the little cardboard instruction manual included in this pack of coax connectors using a Stanley knife and a ruler. Worked absolutely perfectly first time.These connectors are superb. They won't come off once fully compressed into place. I've done run of 3G SDI over RS Pro's cheaper 75ohm RG6 cable for what must be 50+ feet, and it's flawless.Don't be me. Buy the right kit the first time, and save yourself a load of hassle. If you're not buying the Klein cutting tool, a Stanley will do you fine. Pay attention to the measurements diagrammed in the packet of these connectors - and be patient. If you're making < 10 cables, I'd say you'll be fine with a Stanley and the Klein compression tool alone. If you're making 100 cables - get the cutter too.
