Coaxial Cable Connector With Compression Bands

摘要

A cable connector for coupling to a coaxial cable includes an outer barrel configured to receive the cable, a collar received on the outer barrel, and a seal assembly. The seal assembly includes a plurality of compressible compression bands, the seal assembly configured to provide a seal with a cable received by the cable connector.

主权项

1. A coaxial cable connector comprising:
an outer barrel including a longitudinal axis, the outer barrel formed with an inner compression band; a coaxial fitting mounted at a front of the outer barrel for coupling to an electrical device; a coaxial compression collar applied to the outer barrel; an outer compression band, formed in the compression collar, which moves between an uncompressed condition and a compressed condition in response to axial compression of the coaxial cable connector; and movement of the outer compression band from the uncompressed condition to the compressed condition shapes the inner compression band into a pawl that allows introduction of a cable into the coaxial cable connector and then prevents removal of the cable therefrom.
