A connector for coaxial cable, and a tool and method for connecting coaxial cable. The connector may have a projection configured to extend into a channel defined by an inner conductor of the coaxial cable and to engage an inner surface of the inner conductor; and a lip configured to engage an outer surface of the inner conductor when the projection extends into the channel. The lip and the projection configured to limit the movement of the inner conductor relative to the outer conductor. The tool and method may be used to displace insulation adjacent the lead end of the inner conductor or outer conductor to facilitate connection of the connector.

Coaxial cable connector and tool and method for connecting a coaxial cable

Method for connecting a coaxial cable

A sealing assembly for a cable to apparatus interconnection formed bya plurality of shells adapted to mate together, surrounding the interconnection within an interconnection space. When mated together, the shells forming openings for the cable and the apparatus at an apparatus end and a cable end, respectively. A gasket mounted to each shell along a mating surface between the shells and along the openings environmentally seals the interconnection space. A locking rib projecting inward from the shell(s) may be applied to rotationally interlock a coupling nut of the interconnection with the sealing assembly. In a two shell embodiment, a locking band positioned around an outer diameter of the mated together shells with an end to end retaining means may be used to secure the shells together. Alternatively, if three shells are used, the shells may be hinged together and a retaining means applied to join the unhinged ends together.
