These connectors are ideally used with the ICM-CPLCCT-SLM

The patented non-blind entry allows the installer to see the wire entering the pin at the base of the connector before compression, which ensures your crimp creates a solid, secure connection. The F connector has an internal "O" sealing ring that stops moisture migration, while the large ferrule surface assures the RF and digital interface are clear.
