Abstract
A compression-type coaxial cable connector having a leading end, a trailing end and integral construction is described. The connector includes a nut at the leading end of the connector, a tubular shank having a flange on a leading end thereof and a barb concentrically disposed on a trailing end, a slotted body portion and a compression sleeve slidably attached to the body portion forming the trailing end of the connector. The connector, and each of the components associated therewith, has an axial conduit coextensive with the length thereof. When the prepared end of a coaxial cable is inserted into the trailing end of the connector conduit and advanced through the conduit into the body portion, the shank separates the outer protective jacket and conductive braid of the cable from the dielectric core and interposes the barbed portion of the tubular shank therebetween. Subsequent advancement of the compression sleeve over the body portion, with the assistance of a compression tool, compresses the cable jacket and braid in two locations providing secure attachment. Following compression, further advancement of the compression sleeve is stopped when an annular ridge within the compress…
