Generic RG6-qs question (1 Viewer)

[John Tillman]

I'm currently doing research to build some DIY audio interconnects. In the process, I'd like to see if I can put a better plug on existing (Home Depot) RG6-qs video runs.

I'm using an Ideal (crimp) F-type connector with a RCA screw on adapter. A couple of these have failed and it would be nice to get a real RCA type plug to crimp on.

So my question is, if you are using the HD RG6-qs cable, what plugs work with it, and what type of crimp & Die tool is needed to put it on?

John, start from:

and then visit Jon Rish page at:

and finally, take a look at the following discussion:

(lot of good links).
In my case, F-screw-on + RatShack F->RCA works untill I will get off my fat underside and start making decent cables. It is on my todo list for 2002.

Thanks ZJT:

Guess I'll bring a RG6-qs sample with me to Markertek while purchasing the audio cabling supplies. Maybe they'll have someone there who can match a higher quality plug to it.
