Abstract
A coaxial connector system is disclosed. The connector system includes a compliance member having an inner conductive portion and an outer portion, the inner conductive portion arranged and disposed for engaging and physically retaining an outer conductor of a coaxial cable. The connector system also includes a conductive actuating clamp having jaws arranged and disposed for engaging and physically retaining an inner conductor of the coaxial cable. The jaws are moveable from an open, pre-engaged configuration to a closed, engaged configuration upon insertion of the inner conductor into the actuating clamp. The connector system can be used to provide a secure connection of a coaxial cable, such as a coaxial energy cable, to a distribution box and thereby deter or prevent energy theft.
