RG6 Compression connector recommondation
Anyone have a recommondation on a good cost effective connector. I see there are many many brands out there but i don't know truely how good they are. I believe in my area the cable company uses PPC EX6 connectors are they any good? Are they compatable with quad shield also?

I'm not a pro at the connectors, but I've had good luck with these:

Rick (our other moderator) knows about this end of electronics probably better then I.

A non-professional compression tool for coax can be had for less than $20. I bought an Ideal at one of the big box stores for $19.95. It may not be able to stand up to usage several times a day for years but is perfectly adequate for homeowner use.
Or you can buy a Zenith kit complete with ten connectors for $8.99 plus shipping.
