Splicing Coax

[potatorage]

I was playing with my coax... and it seems like I cut the line in :O
So how do I splice it together?
F Connectors and coupler? I don't really have those-- Where could I get them?
Maybe just twist them together?-- What I'm doing now-- don't think I have signal
Also-- How do I test for a signal? Trying to hook up the antenna to the cable

I'd just get another length. They're what... 10 cents a foot?

but then I'd have to splice that in :O

yes this is what you want to use to splice it back together. you can get them @ homedepot / radioshack
check the wire for it's size look for rg6 or rg59 then get that size connector . the coupler is universal size .
you can use the twist on connector's . but i suggest the compresion connector's you will need to buy a tool for them

I will ignore everything in this thread but:

I was playing with my coax

WHY?

 

[potatorage]

I was bored?

Do the three stages down the left side of the drawing to each end of the wire.

You will need a
scalpel
solder and iron
insulating tape
kitchen foil

Good luck
