Fixing the input wire for digibox?

MarkR · 2002-09-30 17:41:48

I'm trying to fix the connection for my girlfriend's da, the end of the cable keeps popping off, and there are little copper wires all over the place! I was wondering how to properly trim the wire (copper middle, surrounded by plastic, then tinfoil, then thin copper wire), also if i could get a new connection for the end…

I was wondering how to properly trim the wire (copper middle, surrounded by plastic, then tinfoil, then thin copper wire), also if i could get a new connection for the end of the wire - the type that screws into the box.

Thanks folks!

Any aerial/Sky installer, or local TV/video shop will have a screw on connector.

Leave about 10mm of the central copper core exposed, "fold" the foil/screening back over the outer insulation (like a peeled banana) & screw on the connector.

Practise on a spare bit of cable if you like.
