A capacitive structure includes two parallel plate capacitors configured for placing between coaxial cables. The first parallel plate capacitor includes an upper conductive plate and a lower conductive plate that are substantially parallel to one another and separated from one another by a first dielectric material. The second parallel plate capacitor includes an upper conductive plate and lower conductive plate that are substantially parallel to one another and separated by a second dielectric material. The lower conductive plate of the first capacitor is engaged against, and thereby connected to, the upper conductive plate of the second capacitor. A conductive clip connects the upper conductive plate of the first capacitor to the lower conductive plate of the second capacitor. A channel in the clip prevents the lower conductive plate of the first capacitor and the upper conductive plate of the second capacitor from shorting with the upper conductive plate of the first capacitor and the lower conductive plate of the second capacitor. To maintain the clip between the coaxial cables, axial pressure may be applied from an insert in the center conductor of at least one of the cables.
