Abstract
A connector for a coaxial cable having a dielectric and an outer conductor supported by the dielectric comprises a bushing that can be emplaced between the dielectric and the outer conductor, a tension member that acts radially inward upon the outer conductor so that mechanical contact is made between the outer conductor and the outer surface of the bushing. The bushing has at least one axial slot. A cut leading edge of the outer conductor is inserted through the slot from the inner surface of the bushing after the bushing is placed over the outer conductor. The bushing and slot are configured so that the outer conductor passes through the slot and wraps around the bushing upon relative rotation of the bushing and the coaxial cable.
