1. Place the coaxial cable end into the DXE-CPT-659 Cable Striper and rotate the tool around the cable until the
cutting action is complete as shown.
Fold the braided shield back onto the outer jacket.
2. Insert the prepared DXE-F6 - 75ΩF-6 Style Direct Bury Coaxial Cable fully into the Snap-N-Seal®F-
Connector as shown. Ensure the center conductor is slightly sticking out the end is as shown.
3. Place the Snap-N-Seal®connector with coaxial cable into the DXE-SNS-CTI Compression tool as shown.
4. Fully squeeze the DXE-SNS-CTI Compression Tool handles together to completely compress the Snap-N-
Seal®connector as shown.
5. Remove completed coaxial cable assembly from DXE-SNS-CTI Compression Tool.

We recommend the use of Snap-N-Seal connectors to ensure a high quality and weather resistant feedline
connection. The proper compression tool must be used to install these connectors.
DXE-SNS6-25 -Watertight Coax Connector, Snap-N-Seal®for CATV F-6 Cable, 25 pieces
Snap-N-Seal®is an environmentally sealed CATV F coax connector system for harsh environments. The connectors have a
unique, 360 degree radial compression system that offers the signal leakage protection required for high performance receive
systems.
Quad sealed system prevents moisture from migrating into the connection
360 degree radial compression provides superior RF integrity (-95dB typical, 60%
bonded foil cable)
Easy cable preparation
Connector to cable retention of 40 lbs minimum
Superb impedance match to 1 GHz
Manufactured of high quality 360 brass, cadmium plated with yellow chromate coating
for maximum corrosion resistance
UV-resistant plastic and O-rings provide a reliable environmentally sealed connector
