Abstract: An adaptor or termination assembly for a mini-coax cable is made up of an extension tip which receives the inner conductor pin on the cable, a first sleeve which fits over an exposed end of the dielectric layer, and a second sleeve which surrounds an exposed end of the outer conductor, all as a preliminary to inserting the assembly into a standard sized connector body and assuring a positive connection between the cable and connector body in such a way as to avoid creating impedance which will downgrade the signal passing through the cable into the connector.

Abstract: An adapter or termination assembly for a mini-coaxial cable in a first embodiment is made up of an extension tip which receives the inner conductor pin on the cable, a first sleeve which fits over an exposed end of the dielectric layer, and a second sleeve which surrounds an exposed end of the outer conductor, all as a preliminary to inserting the assembly into a standard sized connector body and assuring a positive connection between the cable and connector body in such a way as to avoid creating impedance which will downgrade the signal passing through the cable into the connector. In a second embodiment, a single sleeve is employed in place of the first and second sleeves and which fits over the exposed end of the dielectric layer as well as the exposed end of the outer conductor.

Abstract: A guide for coaxial cable end connectors having a crimping ring at one end of the connector which receives the end of the coaxial cable, a cylindrical insert disposed in a central bore of the connector body and has a recessed portion for loose-fitting insertion of the cable to maintain centered to the body as the cable is advanced with the body. In one form, the guide is free to be removed from the body once the cable is fully inserted, and in another form has a tubular insert through which the cable is inserted and advanced into engagement with an extension pin with the tubular insert in surrounding relation to the extension pin. In one form, a starter plug supports an extension pin in the body and facing the male end of the cable so that the male end will advance the extension pin toward the opposite end of the connector body as the cable is advanced into the body.
