Abstract
A connector for a coaxial cable includes a mandrel, a coupler, and a body. The mandrel is insertable between the dielectric and the outer conductor of the cable. The coupler includes an annular shoulder extending radially inward from the coupler for retaining a mandrel. The body is matingly engaged with the coupler and defines a first inner bore proximate the coupler having a substantially coextensive diameter and a second inner bore having a diameter smaller than the first inner bore. Together, the mandrel sleeve and the second inner bore squeeze the outer jacket of the coaxial cable between the outer surface of the mandrel sleeve and the second inner bore to affix the connector to the cable.
