4. Prepare the coaxial cable for attachment:
a. Prepare the cable end as recommended by the connector manufacturer.
b. Measure the center conductor length as shown in Figure 3.10.
c. Ensure that the center conductor length is at least 1 1/8 inches (2.71 cm). If the center
conductor is longer than 1 1/4 inches (3.30cm), trim it with wire cutters to between 1
1/8 and 1 1/4 inches (2.71cm and 3.30 cm) to avoid unintentional signal grounding.

will damage the centerseizure mechanism.
