Abstract
Connectors and methods for attaching connectors to one or more cables and/or conduits are disclosed. The disclosed connectors and methods may secure an outer surface of the cable (e.g., an outer jacket of a cable) or conduit. A connector, for example, may include a coupler comprising an inner surface defining an coupler inner bore; a retainer comprising an inner surface defining a retainer inner bore configured to receive the inner conductor and insulator layer of a coaxial cable and an outer angled rear facing surface configured to extend between the insulator layer and the outer conductor layer of the coaxial cable, the retainer disposed within the inner bore of the coupler; a hub engaged to the retainer and disposed at least partially within the inner bore of the coupler, the hub rotatably engaged with the coupler, the hub further comprising an outer angled forward facing surface at least partially opposing the outer angled rear facing surface of the retainer, wherein the outer angled rear facing surface of the retainer and the outer angled forward facing surface of the hub are configured to secure the outer conductor layer between the outer angled rear facing surface of the ret…
