Solder Connector Assembly Instructions

Semi-rigid (or hand-formable) cable types offer durable, ruggedized construction and are engineered with a solid outer shield. They are often stiffer than other coaxial cables and require bending tools for more flexibility. Hand-formable cable types are flexible, malleable alternatives to more rigid coaxial cables. They can be formed by hand without any special tools required. If you’re assembling a Solder Connector Assembly, the following instructions may apply.
