An F-type coaxial cable connector includes a tapered interface surface for even compression of the interface gasket and prevention of shearing. The cable is retained in the connector by a crimping arrangement including a cylindrical outer ferrule designed with a series of protruding ridges and an inner body of the connector which has a series of V-shaped ridges, the size and shape of the ridges being optimized for both cable retention and waterproofing. The interface is also part of inner body, thus minimizing the number of the loose or secondary parts required for installation. A groove in the inner body accomodates a second o-ring located between a coupling nut and the inner body.

CATV environmental F-connector

The invention is a hermaphroditic modular connector. More specifically, the connector comprises a two-part modular housing which snaps together and which upon snapping together, effects connection of a twisted wire pair cable to a pair of insulation displacement contacts held within one part of the housing in a snap engagement by an insulator also in snap engagement held within the one part of the housing. Engaging extensions tabs project from the front of the connector in a manner such that the connector can be connected to a like connector without requiring additional parts or modification.

Shielded modular connector for use with shielded twisted pair cable

The invention relates to a terminating connector for use with individual conductors of a shielded coaxial type flat ribbon cable assembly. A bushing is threaded onto the outer sheath of the individual conductors and holds a drain wire which is connected to a shield of the individual conductors between the bushing threads and the outer sheath of the conductor. The bushing is then secured to a shielding housing by means of a securing assembly with the shielding housing including a central contact in insulative isolation therefrom and contacting the central conductor of the conductor. Locking means serve to engage a like locking assembly of a corresponding connector to provide a tight secure shielded connection between the individual conductors of the flat ribbon cable and equipment or other like individual conductors of flat ribbon cable.
