Such a thing as a CT100 coax tacker

[Jim]

I'm looking for some kind of cable tacker that will do my CT100 coax, i
can find loads of CT100 staples but no mention of a CT100 gun, does
anyone know if such a thing is around I have tried eBay but most say no
it won't work but my only option can't be those nasty cable clips, can
they>?

I've got something that has stapled everything I've thrown it at so far.
I'll see what it is when I get home. It's deffo cheap and cheerful, I
wouldn't have spent silly money on something like that. So far I've used
it for 'phone cables, ethernet cables, aerial extensions and whatever
you call the stuff that Virgin uses.

The one you want is a T25, with 9/16" staples.

In use tilt the gun forward slightly, then as you pull the trigger tilt
back. This is so the cable isn't deformed. Tilting forward is so the
staple doesn't go into the cable.

If you find you are repeatedly getting one leg of the staples into the
cable take them out of the gun and put them in the other way round.

This fixing method is OK for wood but not for plaster, mortar, dense
chipboard, etc.

Those are the same staples that I use, but my stapler is electric.

Thanks for the links Bill, I'll bung my order in later today (after I
have heard back from you), out of interest i presume this gun will do
simple bt phone cable as well any idea on what staples would be needed
for that as well.

That gun will do staples of different lengths but only ones that are 6mm
(approx) between legs.

If you have a look at the manufacturer's website you will get an idea of
other types available.

With this sort of stapler, if used without caution, isn't there the
possibility of the staple crushing the coax, and lowering its impedance
at that point? If so, then on long runs, if the stapling is done
'neatly' at regular intervals, there is some possibility of producing a
suck outs.

No idea - I'v never had a problem. There are alternate staple that have
a sort of cap across the top, maybe that's what they're for?

Do you use it to staple Rog's ears to the floor if he says 'lady'?

Only in a situation where he wouldn't say 'gentleman' to man ;-)

See my original suggestions for the mode d'emploi.

You're firm but fair, I'll grant you that. By the way, have you ever
thought of going into the BDSM business? You have the electric staple
gun; so why not?

Hey, Bill, sorry but could you explain this one again? I haven't quite
got what happens / why it works when you do the tilting back and forth
thing.

Thanks.

No it's the customer who gets bored... or pierced...

Well when you're positioning the gun over the cable you need the front
of it well down so there's less chance of the staple going into the
cable. But then as you pull the trigger you can tilt back a bit. That
tends to bring the cable back with the gun, but also restricts the depth
the stable penetrates the wood and thus reduces cable deforming. This
seems to work with 6mm to 6.5mm cables, but not smaller ones. It's very
much a case of experimenting because a lot depends on the type of cable
and the hardness of the wood.

With practice it's possible to do really nice neat work with these guns.

[Steve Thackery]

Ah, OK. Thanks, Bill.

Oops. I just sent this directlty to Sara rather then the group. Sorry Sara.

I've just got around to looking up lady in my dictionary (Concise
Oxford). One of the meanings of lady is a woman.

If I look up woman, one of the meanings is wife. Does than mean I can
refer to my wife as my woman?

One of the usage examples they give for lady is "ask that lady over
there", which I totally agree with. It sounds so wrong telling someone
to "ask that woman over there". "Ask that man over there", however,
sounds fine.

Bring back gentlewoman, that's what I say

One of the police officers involved in the tragic events in Woolwich
the other day was referred to in the newspapers as a "female
marksman". To avoid causing offence, should they have referred to her
instead as a marksperson, markswoman, or markslady?

Absolutely. And in many years' time when Sara is old enough to have
incontinence problems, will she go to the shop and ask for a packet of
TennaWoman?

They should have said "armed police officer", but that doesn't fit
because she was being singled out as a woman.

Female sharpshooter?

No it isn't. It's a linguistic abomination.
