SuperPro Series Installation Manual
Your coax connector is now compressed. The space between the green band and the threaded
portions of the connector should be touching. If not, you have a bad connection and will need to
cut the connector off and start over.
Testing Coax Cable
Coax cable is very reliable. If the connectors are installed correctly, you will seldom have a
problem.
Test the copper conductor by placing a clip or probe at each end of the conductor. If the copper
conductor is broken, there will be no reading on the dial.
Test the ground by placing clips or probes on the shielded portion of the cable. If there is no
movement on the dial, there is a broken connection.
You can also plug the cable into video connections. If the signal is transported, you know it
works.
Note:
It is a good idea to test the cable while still on the spool to ensure that you have a good
spool, with no breaks in it. It is much easier to test a thousand feet of cable while it is spooled
than to run it
and then discover that it was a bad spool after it is in the wall.
You will also need to test the individual cable segments after you have run them, to be sure no
breakage occurred while the cable was being pulled.
Terminating 62.5 Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber optic connections can be made reliably with some training and experience. We recommend
that you complete the FutureSmart training course or an equivalent fiber optics training course
before attempting to perform fiber terminations.
