Abstract: Coaxial connectors for coaxial cable and methods for connecting coaxial connectors to a coaxial cable include: a sleeve for allowing passage of a prepared end of a coaxial cable therethrough having at least a first contact surface, a terminal including a second contact surface, an insulator disposed therein for receiving a center conductor of a coaxial cable and a nut for receiving the sleeve, the nut being axially displaceable along at least a portion of the sleeve. The first and second contact surfaces form a clamping region for capturing the outer conductor of a coaxial cable. The coaxial connector does not include a center conductor. An insulator is disposed in the terminal to receive the inner conductor of a coaxial cable for direct connection to a junction box, amplifier, or other coaxial port.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coaxial connector consisting of a back nut, outer and inner terminals, and an insulator. The back nut is made of a single tubular piece and does not enclose any further parts. In connecting a coaxial cable to the connector, the cable is inserted through the back nut, and a portion of the outer conductor at the end of the cable is flared and shaped along a tapered clamping face of the back nut. The back nut is then axially displaced, as by threading the back nut over the outer terminal, to clamp the flared end of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable between the outer terminal of the connector and the back nut thereof.

Abstract: A right angle coaxial connector comprises a unitary body, (1) having a dielectric insulating member (4) secured along a longitudinal tubular bore extending along axis F-F through said unitary body (1) and holding a predominantly longitudinal inner conductor (2), having male ends (2A, 2B), in its correct position along the bore's central axis F-F with an integral perpendicular node (2B) lying along the axis E-E, a shell (6) extending along a lateral axis E-E having dielectric insulating member (8) secured along a lateral tubular bore extending through said shell (6) and holding a lateral inner conductor (7) having female ends (7A, 7B), where said unitary body (1) and shell (6) are fixably joined at a pair of interfaces (B, C) and the corresponding male (2B) and female (7A) ends of the respective inner terminals (2, 7) are releasably attached to one another.

Abstract: A coaxial connector includes a removable back nut, an outer body, and a center conductor supported within the outer body by a dielectric. A clamp ring is rotatably disposed within the central bore of the back nut. A prepared end of a coaxial cable is inserted through the back nut, and the end portion of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable is flared outwardly. As the back nut is tightened onto the outer body, the flared end of the outer conductor is directly clamped between mating clamping surfaces formed on the clamp ring and the outer body. An optional compression member is provided, and is axially displaced into the outer body as the back nut is tightened for engaging the female socket to seize the inner conductor of the cable. A seal disposed in the back nut forms a seal between the back nut, the clamp ring, and the cable jacket. The back nut can be tightened without twisting the coaxial cable.

Abstract: A method of preparing the end of a coaxial cable for insertion within a coaxial cable connector involves stripping the cable jacket from the end of the cable, and reducing the outer diameter of the cable jacket portion lying adjacent the stripped portion of the jacket to a relatively constant reduced diameter. The reduced diameter portion of the cable jacket can then be reliably sealed to the back nut of the coaxial connector by an O-ring. A related preparation tool is disclosed for simultaneously stripping the cable jacket from the end of the cable, and reducing the outer diameter of the cable jacket portion lying adjacent the stripped portion, as the tool is rotated about the end of the coaxial cable. The tool may also serve to remove a portion of the outer conductor, as well as a coring member to remove dielectric surrounding the inner conductor of the cable.

Abstract: A coaxial connector includes a removable back nut, an outer body, and a center conductor supported within the outer body by a dielectric. The center conductor includes a female socket for receiving an exposed inner conductor of a coaxial cable, and a compression member compresses the female socket to seize the inner conductor as the back nut is secured to the outer body. In use, a prepared end of a coaxial cable is inserted through the back nut, and the end portion of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable is flared outwardly. As the back nut is tightened onto the outer body, the flared end of the outer conductor is directly clamped between integral clamping surfaces of the back nut and outer body. As the back nut is tightened, the compression member simultaneously engages the female socket to seize the inner conductor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a connector for a coaxial cable which includes a center terminal with an end portion for connection to the inner conductor of the cable, the end portion having an annular contact surface longitudinally extending over a predefined distance and protruding radially inwardly from an inner circumferential surface to establish electrical and mechanical contact between the center terminal and the inner conductor of the coaxial cable. The dielectric structures in the connector are advantageously made from a material having a dielectric constant less than 3.5.

Abstract: The invention relates to stripping tools for coaxial cables with a corrugated outer conductor and a hollow inner conductor. The tool comprises three main parts: a jacket cutting part for removing a certain predetermined length of the jacket of the cable, a guide part to be placed around the end of the cable after the jacket has been removed by the jacket cutting part, and a second cutting part to be placed on the guide part during a final preparation of the end of the cable during which the inner conductor, the outer conductor and the dielectric material between inner- and outer conductor are being cut off to appropriate lengths. The guide part is provided with a portion for determining a well-defined longitudinal position of the tool on the cable relative to the pattern of valleys and crests of the corrugation on the outer conductor.
