Abstract
A clamp to axially hold small coaxial cable (10) of a type having a soft dielectric core (16) includes a rigid element (30) having a groove (32) to receive the cable laid therein and an elastomeric element (4) having a projection (42) shaped to fit partially around the cable and along the length thereof and be compressed to preclude movement of said cable axially while minimizing cable core deformation to allow the cable to be worked upon relative to stripping and termination. A method using clamps fore and aft of stripping blades (50-52) clamped on the cable embraces holding the cable and the blades stationary while moving one clamp (30M-42M) axially to remove the cable sheath and foil.
