When stripping the isolation, neither the inner core or the foil nor the wire netting must be damaged.
Page 23 Cut the inner core with a cable cutter in such a manner that it projects maximum 1 mm from the connector.
Page 24 Installation diagram Fasten the F connector of the coaxial cable onto the “LNB IN” antenna connection of the receiver. Fasten the other end of the coaxial cable on the LNB.
