Abstract

The present invention is a connector for connecting a coaxial cable to a device. The coaxial cable generally has a center conductor, an outer conductor, and a cable jacket. The connector includes a first portion and a second portion that are configured to be removably connected while providing both an electrical and mechanical connection between the front nut and back nut assemblies. The connector includes a ferrule having a split tubular body with first and second portions configured to cooperate with two pairs of cooperating biasing rings so that the first pair of biasing rings radially compress the first portion about the outer conductor while the second pair of biasing rings radially compress the second portion about the cable jacket.
