Keep the cable end downwards in order to prevent particles from entering
during preparation.

Cut the straightened cable in a right angle to the cable axis with a
fine toothed hacksaw. Cut and remove the jacket, in the dimension
as shown. Do not damage the outer conductor.
Cut only the outer conductor with a fine toothed hacksaw; continue
to cut the dielectric with a knife. Do not cut or damage the inner
conductor surface.
Remove the trimmed outer conductor. Carefully cut the dielectric
lengthwise and remove it. Take care not to damage the copper
cladding, also make sure not to bend the inner conductor out of the
straight line.
Make a chamfer on the inner conductor with a fine file.
Remove all edges very carefully; rework the outer conductor if
necessary in order to achieve a passable thread on the outer
conductor. It is recommended to check easy turn ability with the
back-nut of the connector as shown (use in reversed direction).
Remove back-nut after checking.
It is imperative to achieve a pure metallic contact surface on
the protruding length of the inner conductor. This may be
realized by scraping away completely all foam and adhesive (thin
layer may appear transparent) from the inner conductor manually
(fingernail) or with a dedicated tool (e.g. CC200EUR). Take care not
to damage the copper cladding, also make sure not to bend the
inner conductor out of the straight line.
7. Check the complete preparation (dimensions). Careful
preparation is the key to good VSWR and especially to proper
PIM performance!
8. Clean the prepared cable end; remove any particles very carefully
with a brush. It is not recommended to use steel or similar hard
brushes, because these can deeply press particles inside the
dielectric. Adhesive tape can be used additionally to remove the
finest particles.
9. Screw the back-nut onto the outer conductor and over the jacket
until the outer conductor is in level with the check mark (2mm) on
the connector body. Use only low pressure to avoid damaging the
treaded gasket inside. The front part of the connector is equipped
with a built-in socket wrench; this can be used to screw the
adjustable back-nut into position.
10. Push the connector front part onto the prepared cable end; do never
turn the front part! Pay attention that the connector parts are well
aligned while tightening them by turning the back-nut only (first by
hand).
11. Keep the connector body steady and tighten the back-nut of the
connector by use of open end wrenches. Tighten properly to
mechanical stop (no visible gap between body and back-nut).

until mechanical stop is reached. Keep the drill in straight line while
the whole process. Do not wear gloves if working with a drill!

Attention: Trimming Tool to be handled and used with great care, blades are
extremely sharp! It is recommended to use protective gloves. Do not use great
force. Please refer to the instruction of the tool in addition! Keep the cable end

Cut the straightened cable in a right angle to cable axis with a fine
toothed hacksaw.
Insert the cable into the Trimming Tool and push against the inner stop
as shown. The cable fits properly to the complete insert (collet) of the
tool. Close blade housing of the tool.
Slowly rotate the Trimming Tool clockwise - as indicated by the arrow on
the tool - with slight pressure on the blade housing until jacket, outer
conductor and dielectric are cut. Open blade housing and remove the
tool.
Remove the cable jacket and outer conductor. Carefully cut the dielectric
lengthwise and remove it. Take care not to damage the copper cladding,
also make sure not to bend the inner conductor out of the straight line.
Carefully cut the second part of jacket lengthwise by knife and remove it.
Insert the inner conductor into the hole of the chamfer tool, then slowly
press and rotate the Trimming Tool clockwise several times to chamfer
the inner conductor.
Remove all edges very carefully; rework the outer conductor if necessary
in order to achieve a passable thread on the outer conductor. It is
recommended to check easy turn ability with the back-nut of the
