Abstract: A connector is provided for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal. The connector includes a coupler having an annnular collar, a body member, one end of which includes a deformable lip inserted with elastic deformation through the collar opening, and a post. In a cable-installed position, the post is received in the body member to form an annular chamber sufficiently narrow in the cable-installed position to compress the outer conductor and the jacket for establishing a distal seal. Tightening of the coupler to the terminal compresses the lip between the post flange and the annular collar for establishing a proximal seal.

Abstract: A connector is provided for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal, such as a cable terminal, a terminal for coupling to another connector, and the like The connector includes a coupler, such as a nut, having a receiving port for engaging the terminal. The coupler also includes an annular collar. The connector also includes a body member, one end of which includes a lip. The lip is inserted through the collar opening. The other end of the body section includes an inner surface portion. The connector still further includes a post, an end of which is sized for insertion between the dielectric and the outer conductor of the cable. The post further includes a post flange and a post shank. The post shank forms a post channel sufficient in diameter to receive the inner conductor and the dielectric of the cable. The post is movable between a cable-insertion position and a cable-installed position.
