DISCUSSION :

Based on the experiment PW11 of installing BNC connectors to RG58

cabling we can discuss that to install this BNC connector we must follow a few steps.

First of all, before doing this experiment we should know what BNC connectors.

These connectors are used for cables carrying radio frequency signals. One type of

cable that can be used with these connectors is RG58. This cable is called coaxial

cables, because they carry both an insulator and transmission wire in the same cable.

BNC connectors are not hard to install, but they must be installed correctly or they can

cause problems down the road.

The equipment that we use in the experiment are side cutters, needle nose

pliers, cable stripper, BNC crimper and cable tester. Firstly, to start the experiment we

must preparing the end of the cable with the cable stripper tool. Next, we must crimp

the pin. Before that, take the wire we want to crimp and strip off enough insulation so

that the exposed wire rests in the wire channel. After that, we install the BNC

connector. We need to slide the crimp barrel over the cable before installing the

connector itself. The connector has to fit snuggly between the outer and inner

insulation bands.

After finish with the installing, proceed with the crimping barrel. The barrel

is crimped using the other, larger opening in the BNC crimp tool die. This will tighten

and deform the crimp barrel down over the connector and cable for secure connection.

Crimping the barrel should force the bulge in the cable up over what remains of the

exposed knurled portion of the connector to the connector’s base.

Lastly, while doing this experiment make sure the tool that we use in good

condition and use the proper tool. This to prevent danger for us and do not try to

improvise with pliers if do the crimping. We also must make sure when stripping the

cable we do it in correct way, make sure cuts is clean and avoid nicks as much as

possible. We also must make sure to use the proper size connector for the type of

cable we using.
