Abstract: A jumper cable having an end prepared for connecting to a coupling assembly. The prepared end includes an inner conductor, an outer conductor having a helical outer surface contour, and a dielectric core disposed between the inner and outer conductors. A weld washer: (i) threadably engages the helical outer surface contour of the outer conductor, (iii) receives a deformed edge of the outer conductor through an opening in the washer, and (iv) is penetration welded to deformed edge of the outer conductor. Operationally, the face of the weld washer augments the flow of electrical current to electrically ground the outer conductor to the coaxial cable connector.

Abstract: A coaxial cable device and method involve weld connectivity. The device includes an outer conductor engager and an inner conductor engager. At least one of such conductor engagers includes a weld interface for weld connection with part of a coaxial cable.

Abstract: A coaxial cable device and method for establishing weld and mate connectivity across a coaxial cable. The device includes an outer conductor engager and an inner conductor engager wherein the outer conductor engager includes a weld interface for engagement with a first portion of a coaxial cable, and wherein the inner conductor engager includes a mate interface for engagement with a second portion of the cable.

Abstract: A compression connector for connecting to a coaxial cable is provided. The compression connector is provided in a first state for fitting onto an end of the cable, after which it may be compressed to a second state, thereby joining the connector to the cable to make a coaxial cable assembly. The connector is comprised of a tubular connector body and a compression cap structured to slidably engage the second end of the tubular body. The connector is further internally configured with means for collapsing the first exposed corrugation of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable in the axial direction when the compression cap is compressed onto the tubular connector body.
