Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of mounting a triaxial connector to a cable using a radially deformable collet including an inner wall, an outer wall, a first end and a second end, the ends separated by a width. Slots from the inner wall to the outer wall extend from the first end toward the second end partially across the width and slots from the inner wall to the outer wall extend from the second end toward the first end partially across the width, the number of slots from the first end being equal to the number of the slots from the second end. The inner wall defines a diameter sized to receive a transmission line cable and includes ridges extending from the first end to the second end. The outer wall defines a diameter tapering in a single direction from the first end to the second end, the outer diameter being greater at the first end than at the second end. Each of the slots extending from the second end are closed off adjacent the first end by a portion of the first end extending all the way from the inner wall to the outer wall.
