RG 6 Coax connectors

[FD611V]

Just about finish installing the Dish 1000.2 antenna, and replacing the RG 6 coax to all the receivers.

Looking for some RG 6 connectors that snap-lock type. Several months ago, the Cox Communications Internet cable man replaced some 200' of their RG 6 cable from a utility pole to the house. He had these connectors that he just pushed the RG 6 coax into, and that was it. From looking at one today on the coax at the home, they have a rubber type at the end where the coax enters. The man told me they are the newest type they now use, and are watertight too.

Looking at some web sites that sell these coax connectors, are the PPC EX 6 Push and Lock the same? I don't have a crimper, and prefer to use the type the Cox cable man used.

Any idea where I may buy these?

PPC EX 6 are compresion connectors you need a compresion tool (they cost about 25 to $34) to put them on they are good used for pro installation.

Yup, compression type and they are the best. I use Snap-N-Seal connectors by Thomas and Betts with a Paladin compression tool. Never, ever have a problem.
