How to Crimp an N-Type Connector

From CTWUG Wiki

thanks to bashTux(from PTAWUG) for taking the pictures (this HOWTO was Stolen from PTAWUG)

1. fit the silver ring over the LMR cable - measure 3cm and start cutting
2. cut through the outer plastic, it is quite soft
3. cut straight up
4. and remove the section
5. revealing silver webbing
6. pull the webbing back
7. using a side cutter or a pair of scissors, cut the webbing until about 1cm remains
8. revealing silver insulation
9. cut off about 2cm of the the insulation, leaving 1cm
10. exposing the copper core
11. cut the core, measure first - the tip of the core must be level with the end of the connector
12. cut
13. fit the ntype connector pin
14. crimp it once using the small fitting on the crimping tool [be careful when crimping the pin, it is made from a thin metal and damages easily]

(alternatively, use a soldering iron and some solder to solder the pin to the copper core of the cable)

1. fit the ntype connector over it so it comes to the black outside
2. pull the webbing back
3. and pull the silver ring over it
4. crimp the silver ring twice using the large fitting
5. there you have a ntype connector ready to transfer wug data
