Patent number: 10644417Abstract: A coaxial cable connector for attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector includes a rotatable body segment having a body wall with an outer surface and an inner surface defining a width of the body wall. The body wall has a radial dimension which varies along a perimeter of the rotatable body segment. The inner surface defines a longitudinal opening extending between a forward end of the rotatable body segment and a rearward end of the rotatable body segment. A post positions proximal the forward end of the rotatable body segment. The post has a first end and a second end with a bore extending therebetween. The post is rotationally stationary with respect to the rotatable body segment. A coupling member positions proximal to the first end of the post. The rotatable body segment is rotated to close the coaxial cable connector.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: Corning Optical Communications RF LLCInventors: Anders Balcer, Michael Ole Matzen, Michael Meister, Thomas Dewey Miller, Jens Petersen, Nikolaj Slobodziuk
