I just moved into my first house (yaaay) and all the cable jacks I can find are cut off—just the coax cable with a bare end. I went down to Lowe’s and bought some twist-on RG6 connectors and have discovered that the insulation on this cable is thicker than the entire connector. All the illustrations and instructions I’ve looked up show the connector going over the outside of the insulation.
I managed to wad up the braided layer enough to get some kind of connection because I was able to start up the cable modem and WiFi, but the connection was super slow and dropped constantly.
Is there something I’m missing? Is there a different kind of connector I should use? Something specific I should look for on the connector packages? Money is really tight right now so I don’t want to pay for a service call for the one connector I need. This is in Charlotte, NC.
