Equally good for Rx is the flooded, direct-bury RG-6 QS. I'm a refugee from
the CATV industry and have developed an appreciation for Snap-'N-Seal "F"
connectors. DXE supplies high quality SNS hardware -- and Home Depot
supplies the Ideal Industries brand compression tools and SNS connectors at
reasonable prices. SNS hardware can also be found under the Thomas & Betts
and Augat brand names.
A reliable SNS fitting requires a coaxial cable prep tool designed for the
SNS connector and equally important, a contour-blade cable cutter to prevent
the RG-6 cable from being crushed as it's cut.from the spool.
