Hi,
Are crimp on cable tv fitting used by the cable company made of brass? Magnet is not attracted. If not what are they made of.
Thanks

If I understand what your talking about correctly, it should be brass. Just marr it with a file and it should be yellow underneath. To clarify, I think he is talking about these:

I use to own a construction company that did work for the local cable company. The fittings I have are close to 30 years old. They cut easily with a pair of diagonal cut pliers. But they look silver inside or when i scrape them. They look like the ones in the bottom pic of the second post but are brass colored on the outside. I wired all the local hotels and had to buy my own supplies. I have several thousand of these. They are still sealed in original packs. Might be better off to sell for intended use?
Thanks for input,

Like my old radio supplies that I stored away when I closed my store, check them connectors for any corrosion even if their sealed. Probably better off Ebaying them if there's none.The fittings I have are close to 30 years old. They cut easily with a pair of diagonal cut pliers. But they look silver inside or when i scrape them.

Watch for certain satellite cables with ends that look like this, the center pin is gold plated.
