Abstract: A connector assembly includes a cable connector (1), a cable (2), ferrule elements (3) and a conductive contact (4). The cable has a central conductor (21), an insulation layer (23) surrounding the central conductor, a braiding layer (25) surrounding the insulation layer and a cable sheath (27) surrounding the braiding layer. The ferrule elements annularly cover a forward end of the cable, and include an annular insulative first ferrule (31), an annular metal second ferrule (33) and an annular metal third ferrule (35). The first, second and third ferrules engage with the central conductor, the insulation layer and the braiding layer, respectively. The central conductor electrically connects to the contact. The contact and ferrules are inserted into the cable connector. This assembly allows the cable connector to be easily assembled to the cable and provides good electric performance of the cable.

Abstract: A radio frequency cable connector (1) includes a first element (2) and a second element (3). The first element includes a housing (20), an insulator (21), a central contact (22) surrounded by the insulator, an annular nut (23), a protective lid (24) and a rear cover (25) to enclose a rear portion of the housing. The second element includes a metallic sleeve (30) defining a central through hole (303) and engaging with the housing of the first element, an insulative sleeve (31) accepting a lower portion (302) of the metallic sleeve, and a tail sleeve (32) accepting a lower section (311) of the insulative sleeve. A coaxial cable (10) is received within these three sleeves, a central conductor (100) being connected to the central contact, and a braiding (104) being fixed between the metallic sleeve and the insulative sleeve.
