I can't believe you have never put a plug on the end of a piece of coax or
even taken one off!
Just strip the insulation away and put the top half of the plug on the coax,
bend the braid back and take the foil off. Strip a bit of the insulator
from the centre conductor, slide the "claw" up and press it around the
braid. Put the centre into the centre piece and screw it all together.
Don't forget to solder the inner conductor in place!
It doesn't matter what sort of cable you have in terms of model number,
providing it is 75ohm and the plug fits it.
I can't see why you need a complete guide with pictures for something like
that.
