The advantage of using a coax stripper is that it will strip back both the jacket and dielectric at the same time. Fold back the braided shield and insert the pin onto the center conductor. Then slide the guide onto the pin. Insert the connector housing. Apply pressure and twist to make sure the center conductor is able to reach the end of the connector housing. Insert the connector into the compression tool and firmly squeeze in order to make termination. This will compress the connector, securing it to the cable jacket.
