Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Crimp Connectors:

What is a crimp connector?

Crimp connectors are the most common and most cost effective way to terminate or add a connector to a cable. You can use crimp connectors for numerous low voltage applications in the areas of Security, Network Cabling, CCTV/Surveillance, CATV (Cable TV), Home Theater, Audio Video, and Fire Protection installations. Depending on the connection you are trying to create you will crimp the connector at the end of the cable to prepare the cable to be connected to a particular piece of equipment, hardware, or another cable. Crimping is joining two pieces of metal or other malleable material by deforming one or both of them to hold the other. The bend or deformity is called the crimp. So in essence really you are crushing the metal around the cable to create the connection to the cable you are terminating.

What tools do I need to put on a crimp connector?

In order to use a crimp connector you will need a crimp tool to crimp the connector on the cable, along with a wire stripper tool used to prepare the cable prior to crimping. There are many types of crimping tools made for the specific area of work you are performing. Crimp tools are much less expensive than today’s most common compression connector tools.

What crimp connector do I need?

There are specific crimp connectors for each wire type, size, and jacket material of the cable you are putting a connector on. The most common crimp connectors offered by CableGiant are BNC connectors to terminate coaxial cable for CCTV cameras and F Crimp connectors to crimp coaxial cable for CATV (Cable TV) installations. It is very important that you buy the right connector that goes with the exact cable you are terminating. If you are unsure as to the connector you need contact CableGiant and let a technical advisor assist you in making your low voltage installation a success!

Are crimp connectors the best to use?

Not really. Crimping connectors is really the “old school” way of putting on connectors. Although they are the most inexpensive way to put on connectors they are not the most reliable and long lasting. Since a crimp is essentially crushing a connector around a cable it leaves room for moisture to get in and over time you may have connectivity issues. Since a large percentage of your issues in low voltage installations is connector related we recommend using the newer compression style connectors. Although they are more expensive a compression connector offers a full 360 degree crimp for longer lasting connections without future moisture issues. Crimp connectors are much less effective outside where environmental conditions like wind, dust, and rain will surely effect your connection.

Does it matter what material a crimp connector is made with?

Yes it does! For best results we recommend using crimp connectors that are nickel plated and suited for all weather indoor and outdoor low voltage installations.
