For this cable, use stripper RG11 Maxi-Corex, 360. The stripper requires 3 blades.
1. To start with a squarely-cut cable end, open the stripper and place the cable so
that 1/4 – 5/16 inch of cable extends past the first blade. Then close and latch the
stripper and rotate around the cable 3 – 4 times.
2. Open the stripper and adjust stripping blades until the correct dimensions are
achieved as shown in the figure above.
a. Expose the center conductor 1/2 inch. Do not score the conductor.
b. Expose the dielectric another 1/8 inch without braid.
c. Expose the braid an additional 7/16 inch (a total of 1-1/16 inch from the end
of the center conductor.) Do not score the braid.
d. Remove and discard excess dielectric, foil and braid.
3. Place the connector over the prepared cable end.
NOTE
Make sure the braid does not fold back over the jacket.
4. Push the cable center conductor into the connector until the conductor is inserted
into the contact pin. A slight back-and-forth motion may be necessary to locate
the entryway of the pin, however, avoid excessive twisting of the cable as the
braiding is not to fold back over the jacket.

5. Crimp the collar of the connector in two places, the first beginning at the furthest
ring away from the cable entry end. Using an LRC tool CT611QS, crimp the first
four rings using a .470 size hex. Crimp the last three rings, being careful to align
the resulting hex-shaped areas together.

6. Wrench-tighten the connector.
