    Every cable man is pulling their hair out. And also saying thanks for the job security
  • @Yoyo-me
    There are available connectors "male" + "female( barrel) ", special made for TV connections.. looks 1000 times better and reliable

    This will work for a little bit then the ingress and egress sets in and pixelation and scrambling takes place the diolectric is there to insulate the signal or go to the hardware store and buy the correct tools and do it correctly

    Fun idea that may work for a while. If you want to go "full on jury rig", you should only solder the center conductors together. No extra wire wrapping. Then use the discarded center foam and slit it down the middle and wrap it around the center conductors. Wrap as best you can with a single layer of tape. Then, wrap the length of center insulation with foil and then solder the two shields together insuring maximum contact to the foil. Finally wrap it end to end with tape to seal and apply pressure to the foil-shield connection. Or, use two F connectors and a barrel...

    From an RF perspective this is a really very poor repair. If you put this on a network analyzer or time domain reflectometer it will show lousy performance and may nearly block some frequency bands. It really does matter about the diameter of the center conductor and the thickness and composition of the dielectric. It's what determines impedance, resonance, attenuation, etc. The only proper splice for a broken coax is to install male type "f" connectors on each end and screw them into a double female "barrel" connector.
  • Total overkill=poor signal quality. So much easier to get F connectors and use a barrel to attach them together. Other than replacing the entire line that would be the best way to repair it. I installed cable and internet for Time/Warner and that's how we did it.
  • @IgmuHammerer
    Please don't do this. The white part is the "clad" and is made to create a stable impedance at the VHF & UHF frequencies. This electrical tape will cause RF leakage, a weaker signal, and noise from outside the cable for a reduce S:N ratio.

    This makes as much sense as, fixing a pothole in a road by digging a ditch across the entire street so you can't swerve around the hole. Do the job correctly the first time.

    As a former cable internet repair technician..... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL this has to be a joke right? This is a joke video???
  • @timcat1004
    The 75 ohm impedance is determined by the size of the center conductor in proportion to the distance to the sheath. This is so wrong on every level.
  • आप के वीडियो बहुत💥 अच्छी है, मुझे बहुत अच्छी लगती है, 💫हमे आप की वीडियो से बहुत ज्ञान मिलता है,बहुत कुछ सीखने को मिलता है ओर एसी वीडियो 😎बनाते रहो Good Bless You ❣
  • @rtwatkins79
    Great way to do a bunch of extra work to make a brittle break point. Either re-pull the RG6 or terminate the end properly with a crimp on connector and use a barrel connector. Don't do this garbage... You will likely just short the conductor to the drain

    posta outros vidios eu gosto muito de ti eu so voço fan numero 1 sistute desda muito tempo
  • @Atis602
    If you need to repair a damaged RG6 cable be aware this is complete nonsense. Get some compression cable fittings and a tool and do a repair that will be functional and last. If you don't want to buy a compression tool buy screw on fittings that would still be far better than this mess of a "repair".
