TERMINATION OF CABLE HAVING HELICAL FORMED OUTER CONDUCTOR: METHOD, TOOLS AND CABLE CLAMP THEREFOR

摘要

A termination technique for a cable (2) having a helical form outer conductor (12) of overlaid conductive material that overlies an insulative layer (10) that extends along the length of a center conductor (6), the cable (2) being terminated with a length of the outer conductor (12) exposed by a settable trimming tool (20) that has a cutter (34) that is advanced in a scroll-like manner and a cable clamp (200) therefor having a cable nut (202) having a front face (205) and a bore having a helix extending therethrough for being threadably received upon the outer conductor (12) such that a portion (252) extends beyond the front face (205); a body (204) fittable about the cable nut (202) that includes a shoulder (222) corresponding to the front face (205) of the nut (202) and where the body (204) and the cable nut (202) are displaceable toward each other such that the portion (252) of the helically formed outer conductor (12) extending from the cable nut (202) is captivated between the front face (205) and the shoulder (222).
