Abstract
An electrical connector includes an outer contact extending along a longitudinal axis between a front end and a rear end. The outer contact has a terminating segment that extends to the rear end and is configured to engage and be surrounded by a conductive layer of a cable to electrically connect the outer contact to the cable. The terminating segment is cylindrical and defines a chamber therethrough that is configured to receive one or more wires of the cable therein. The terminating segment has a crosshatch pattern along an outer surface thereof. The crosshatch pattern includes multiple grooves extending parallel to one another and multiple cross-grooves extending parallel to one another. The cross-grooves intersect the grooves to define multiple raised panels along the outer surface.
