Where to buy Compression F-Connectors

    Decided to tidy up my satellite wiring and am looking for some compression f-connectors to give reliable signal, water-resistance and professional appearance.

    I have a mix of CT-100 and CT-125 satellite grade cable in use.

    Anyone know where I can get quality connectors in suitable sizes and a decent compression tool?

    I've seen Watty mention PCT connectors in other threads but couldn't find any online suppliers.

    Thanks
    Owen

    Try Amazon co.uk. You'd be amazed what their site might show !

    In some cases a brand of fitting need the tool from the maker.

    In all cases you need a specialist tool. If the connector doesn't need a special tool, then its a poor quality F-Connector. Good F-connectors don't work with BNC crimp tools.

    Thanks for the replies so far.

    Good idea - will have a trawl though Amazon
    I'm not an installer so the trade route is out sadly - great site though.
    Thanks Watty, that's the kind of info I'm after.

    Are there any brands I should look out for or avoid?

    Most trade places will sell over the counter for money if you don't annoy them and know what you want.
