A connector is attachable to a coaxial cable. The connector, in one embodiment, has a connector body, a sleeve, a fastener and a seal assembly. At least part of the seal assembly is configured to be removeably coupled to the sleeve.

Coaxial cable connector with weather seal

A coaxial cable connector is configured to connect a coaxial cable to a mating connector. The coaxial cable connector includes a connector body having a forward end and a rearward end opposite the forward end, the rearward end configured to receive a coaxial cable; an annular post disposed at least partially within the connector body; and a sleeve configured to be received within the connector body and movable from a first position to a second position relative to the connector body. The sleeve includes a collapsible portion configured to collapse radially inward in an asymmetric fashion toward the post as the collapsible sleeve is moved from the first position to the second position.

Coaxial cable connector having a collapsible portion

A coaxial cable connector for coupling a coaxial cable to a mating connector includes a connector body having a forward end and a rearward cable receiving end for receiving a cable. A nut is rotatably coupled to the forward end of the connector body. An annular post is disposed within the connector body, the annular post having a forward flanged base portion located adjacent a rearward portion of the nut. An annular notch is formed in the forward flanged base portion. A biasing element is retained in the annular notch, and the biasing element extends towards a forward end of the nut in an uncompressed state.

Cable connector

A cable connector configured to couple a cable to another connector or piece of video or audio equipment may include a connector body, a nut, an annular post and a biasing element. The connector body may include a forward end and a rearward end, where the forward end is configured to connect to the second connector and the rearward end is configured to receive a coaxial cable. The nut may be rotatably coupled to the forward end of the connector body and the annular post may be disposed within the connector body. The annular post may also include an annular notch located at the forward end of the connector body. The biasing element may be located in the annular notch.

A coaxial cable connector generally includes a connector body, a nut rotatably coupled to the connector body, a post disposed in the connector body and a biasing element acting between the post and the nut. The nut has an internal thread for engagement with an external thread of a mating connector. The internal thread of the nut and the external thread of the mating connector can be mismatched, wherein an interference fit is created therebetween upon connection of the nut to the mating connector. Also, the post can have a forward flanged base portion disposed within the axial length of the internally threaded surface of the nut, which, together with the biasing element, provides a constant force between the post and the nut.
