  • Patent number: 8366482
    Abstract: A hardline coaxial cable connector includes a body subassembly, a back nut subassembly and a deformable ferrule disposed within the back nut subassembly. The back nut subassembly is rotatable with respect to the body subassembly and a coaxial cable inserted therein. Axial advancement of the back nut subassembly toward the body subassembly causes the ferrule to deform radially inwardly and be in electrical communication with the body subassembly.

  • Patent number: 7465190
    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.

  • Patent number: 7189114
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector assembly is provided wherein a center contact clamping mechanism of the connector assembly is configured to cooperate with a cable adapter and a center contact of the connector assembly such that movement of the clamping mechanism in the direction of the cable adapter results in compression of the center contact about an end portion of the center conductor of the coaxial cable.

  • Patent number: 7104839
    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.

  • Patent number: 6802738
    Abstract: Cable connector for coaxial cable, comprising a bushing (2) for providing an axial displacement of parts (4,5,6,7,8) in the connector, whereby these parts are brought into mechanical and/or electrical engagement with the coaxial cable. The axial displacement is provided by screwing a thread (10) provided on the bushing (2) onto a corresponding thread (9) provided on the main body (1) of the connector. By providing said threads (9,10) as multiple-start threads, the assembly time can be substantially reduced.
