Abstract
A connector for coaxial cable, and a tool and method for connecting coaxial cable. The connector may have a projection configured to extend into a channel defined by an inner conductor of the coaxial cable and to engage an inner surface of the inner conductor; and a lip configured to engage an outer surface of the inner conductor when the projection extends into the channel. The lip and the projection configured to limit the movement of the inner conductor relative to the outer conductor. The tool and method may be used to displace insulation adjacent the lead end of the inner conductor or outer conductor to facilitate connection of the connector.
