Multi-conductor cable connector having more than one coaxial cable and method thereof

摘要

A multi-conductor cable connector for coaxial cables is provided, the connector including a cable connection portion, wherein the cable connection portion receives a prepared multi-conductor cable having a plurality of conductive strands concentrically sharing a common central axis, and a multi-contact portion coupled to the cable connection portion, the multi-contact portion having a plurality of contacts non-concentrically aligned with the cable connection portion. The connector may also include elements configured to seize the coaxial cables, such as posts, a clamping element and a fastening member. Furthermore, an associated method is also provided. In one embodiment three contacts may be used with one of them electrically connected to the outer conductors of two coaxial cables while the other two contacts are to be electrically connected to center conductors of the two cables.
