11. Inspect and ensure that the copper center conductor only protrudes 1/8 inch (3.2 mm)
nominally beyond the rim of the F-connector. Trim if necessary.
CAUTION: The center conductor length must be a minimum of 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)
to a maximum of 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) protrusion beyond the rim of the F type
connector. It must be straight and cylindrical without any burrs at the end. Failure
to follow this technique could result in damage to the satellite router, BUC, LNB
connector and/or possible intermittent service.
