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.

Rotate-to-close connector for a coaxial cable

A coaxial cable connector for attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector has a body having a forward end and a rearward end. An internal surface extends between the forward end and the rearward end defining a longitudinal opening and with a cable receiving area proximal the rearward end and a jacket stop proximal the forward end. A post is positioned in the body proximal the forward end and has a first end and a second end with a bore extending therebetween. An insulator is movably disposed in the bore of the post and has a through-passage and a movement limiter. A gripping member is disposed within the longitudinal opening of the body proximal the rearward end and provides a gripping action as the gripping member axially moves toward the forward end of the body.

An internal surface extends between the forward end and the rearward end defining a longitudinal opening and with a cable receiving area proximal the rearward end and a jacket stop proximal the forward end. A post is positioned in the body proximal the forward end and has a first end and a second end with a bore extending therebetween. An insulator is movably disposed in the bore of the post and has a through-passage, and a movement limiter. A gripping member is disposed within the longitudinal opening of the body proximal the rearward end and provides a gripping action as the gripping member axially moves toward the forward end of the body.

A post-less, self-gripping coaxial cable connector for tool-less attachment to an end of a coaxial cable is disclosed. The coaxial cable connector has a body having a forward end and a rearward end and a longitudinal opening. A retainer positioned in the body has a forward section, a rearward section, and a bore. A ring is movably disposed in the retainer. A gripping member having at least one spring finger is friction fit to the body and is radially inwardly biased in a predisposed orientation. The ring has a pusher feature configured to axially move the ring upon force being applied to the pusher feature by a coaxial cable received by the body causing the gripping member to engage the jacket of the coaxial cable when the coaxial cable is installed in the coaxial cable connector.

Post-less, self-gripping connector for a coaxial cable

A coaxial cable connector comprising a coupler, a body, a shell, a ferrule, and a compression ring is disclosed. The ferrule is disposed adjacent to the body and has a plurality of fingers with inwardly directed barbs and a channel with a wall having an inwardly facing surface with inner projections. The compression ring is disposed within the shell and engages the rear end of the ferrule. Advancing the shell toward the coupler causes the compression ring to drive the rear portion of the ferrule inwardly. This causes the plurality of fingers to flex inwardly toward the coaxial cable forcing the barbs against the coaxial cable. This also causes the compression ring to provide a biasing force against the channel forcing the inner projections of the inwardly facing surface of the wall to bite into the coaxial cable.

Quick mount connector for a coaxial cable

A coaxial cable connector is provided for attachment to a corrugated coaxial cable. The coaxial cable connector includes a clamping member with at least two projections configured to engage the outer corrugated conductor where the corrugated conductor has a diameter that is the smallest. The coaxial cable connector also includes seals to protect the coaxial cable connector from the elements. An alternative embodiment includes a third projection to engage the outer corrugated conductor to provide support for the coaxial cable.
