Abstract
A productive housing for a coaxial cable connector comprising an elastomeric housing disposed over and engaging a connector and having a plurality of longitudinal slots formed into the inner mold line (IML) surface of the elastomeric housing. The longitudinal slots function to reduce the surface area of frictional engagement between the intermediate surface and the corresponding peripheral surface of the coaxial cable connector. The longitudinal slots serve as a longitudinal passageway for the movement of trapped air from one IML surface to another so as to prevent the built-up of air and/or inducing a pocket of suction resisting the separation of the housing from the jumper cable.
