The center conductor of this coaxial cable is a copper-clad aluminum
wire and is very soft.  Making the cut of the center conductor wire
with dull cutters may smash this wire out-of-round, making it difficult
to slip the male contact over it.  The hole in the center pin/male contact
is barely larger than the center conductor that goes into it, so cut the
conductor carefully to avoid deforming it.  It may be necessary to dress
the cut end of the conductor until the male contact will slip over it easily.
