A connector (20, 90) for securing the end of a coaxial cable (30, 140) to a selected device in a cable transmission system includes an outer member (40, 60, 92), a coupling member (23, 107) attached to an end thereof, and a securement means for mechanically and sealably engaging coaxial cable (30, 140).

Longitudinally compressible coaxial cable connector

A connector for securing the end of a coaxial cable to a selected device in a cable transmission system includes an outer member, a coupling member attached to an end thereof, and a securement element for mechanically and sealably engaging coaxial cable in response to a longitudinal compressive force.

Cable connector

A tamper-resistant terminator includes a connector body rotatably encapsulated within a shield. A port in the shield receives a terminal of a cable transmission system therethrough for rotational engagement with a threaded bore within the connector body. Another port in the shield provides access to a socket defined by a smooth continuous cylindrical surface. The socket and the threaded bore extend in opposite directions along a longitudinal axis about which the shield is freely rotatable. A tool includes a tubular shaft having a knurled portion at the free end extends from a first handle section. A disc residing adjacent the end of the tubular shaft is carried by a shaft rotatably journaled with the tubular shaft and drivingly engaged with a second handle section. In response to relative rotation between the handle sections the disc and the knurled section of the tubular shaft move between a concentric position for telescoping movement within the socket of the connector body and an eccentric position for driving engagement with the socket.

A connector for securing the end of a coaxial cable to a selected device in a cable transmission system includes an inner tubular member and a coaxial outer tubular member. The inner tubular member is receivable between the dielectric and the outer conductor of the cable. The outer tubular member, includes a sidewall having a medial thickness which is different than the thickness of either end and a bore for receiving any in a series of cables having differing diameters. In response to a pre-determined inward deformation of the sidewall of the outer tubular member, and outer conductor and the jacket of any cable selected from the series is gripped between the inner and outer tubular members.
