58 iDirect Evolution X1 Outdoor Satellite Router Installation and Safety Manual
Note: Figure 6 on page 20 shows all of the recommended tools for terminating coax
cables.
To terminate the cables with F-Type connectors:
1 Cut off each end of the coax cable squarely, using the proper cable cutter as shown in
Figure 19.
Figure 19. Coax Cable Cutting Technique
2 Remove the jacket material and foam insulation according to the length defined under
Length A in Table 16. For RG-6, use a two-step Coax Stripper such as the LC-CST 1257
from Paladin Tools.
3 Remove any foil in the braid as shown in Figure 20 on page 59.
Wear protective eye wear while cutting cables and terminating
connectors. Ensure that the center conductor is straight and cylindrical
without any burrs. Failure to do so can damage the satellite router, BUC,
and/or LNB input connector.
