What RG6 connectors do I need?
I have a roll of double insulated RG6 and a big supply of black connectors. I have a stripper similar to professional installers and the compression tool. My problem is that I can't get the connectors...

When I watch the pros fit these they don't do anything extra with the braid. I have tried folding it back but it doesn't seem to help much, if at all.
Hmm. Maybe I did it wrong, but I did several of these on quad shield last year and folded both braids and both foil layers back so only the white center was showing. They only lightly drag when sliding into the connector. The center of the connector is barely larger than the white center insulator.
If you don’t fold it back I suspect all of the force is just wadding up the foil and braids into a ball.
