Help with installing connector on Quad RG6

[93732]

I am terminating 9 x Quad Shield RG6 cables in my house. I am using PPC EX6PLUS XL connectors. I terminated 8 cables without much issue. One of the cables is giving me a lot of trouble for some reason. When I try and insert the connector, it bunches up the last layer of foil, leaving only the dielectric and copper going through the connector. Do you guys have any advice to prevent the foil from bunching up on this last cable?

What I have been doing is stripping the cable, fold back first layer of braid, fold and cut the first layer of foil, and fold back the second layer of braid to expose the second layer of foil.

rbaraks,

Did you mean to say something? All I see is that you quoted my text.

Sorry, I never have any trouble with this Quad Shield , it is rather annoying though!
1: Strip it,
2: peel back foil and braid, second layer and braid,
3: place fitting over the top and crimp it.
4: !??
5: Profit

Get a heat gun. I had to do 200 connectors a few months ago. A heat gun made things so much easier

Call anyone who has done it before.

Experience rocks.
