Still poor quality and they may as well be push on.

yeah i know, but it was kind of a rush job when i cut the wire and found that the virgin installed connectors were crimped. I luckily found those spare from our satellite TV installation. they are screw on ones.

where can i buy the crimped ones, and ill probably need a tool to put them on as well (*counting the pennies in my wallet*) iv just looked on ebay and the ones i saw seemed to be for standard TV not for CATV installations

thanks guys

i bought the pack of 10 connectors, then found the gold plated ones, so grabbed them as well (lol) and then got myself the crimp tool to put them on.

After i bought the expensive crimp tool, I realised that the gold plated connectors are compression connectors and probably dont need a crimp tool, doh!
