Abstract
A coupling assembly and a method of connecting and terminating coaxial cable is disclosed herein. The coupling assembly includes a connector body having a mating area for the cable, a driver, means for urging the driver and the body toward each other, a compressive member positioned between the connector body and driver which is deformable and which has sufficient compressive strength to deform the cable jacket. When the compressive member is deformed by the driver the compressive force from the member is focused by the connector body to deform the cable at the mating area and to provide an environmental seal and EMI seat between the cable and coupling assembly.
