How to cut cable?

[akhlaq768]

What is the correct way of cutting and placing the F-plug onto the white virgin cable?

I believe you are not allowed to rouch the copper wire against the inner wire or something like that

you can buy f-plugs from b&q which you can easily fit yourself.

1. take off outerlayer insulation, say 3-4cm
2. snap off solid copper surrounding inner insulation and pull copper strands back to outer layer of insulation and wrap them round
3. using a stanley knife carefully remove inner insulation about 5millimetres from outer layer of copper
4. scew the f-plug on so that outer layer of copper is in contact with f-plug
5. cut the end off inner core of copper flush with end of f-plug
6. the outer strands of copper and inner core of copper wire must not touch
