When you are replacing coaxial cable do you connect the braid at both ends?
Answers: Yes. The shield braid resists stray signals from getting into the center conductor, which would cause interference. Thus, the braid must be intact over the entire run of the cable.
Also, if the cable is ever used for satellite, the cable will also take power for the satellite dish, so the braid must be complete in establish to carry the circuit. As the previous responder proceedings, you must take caution not to let the shield braid touch the center conductor, or you'll short the cable.
Below is a fitting page with pics showing how to properly prepare TV coax for a connector, and how to install the connector. Compression connectors are STRONGLY recommended over the crimp-on connectors.
Yes. Obviously, you must construct sure the braid does not make contact next to the inner core.
