Abstract

A compression connector for a coaxial cable includes a connector body having opposing first and second ends and a center passageway defined therethrough, an insulator disposed within said center passageway adjacent said first end of said connector, and a compression sleeve movably connected to the second end of said connector body. The outer conductor of a prepared coaxial cable end and the center conductor are each seized in sequence based on axial movement of the compression sleeve upon insertion of a prepared cable end. The compression sleeve is axially movable from the second end to the first end to sequentially enable clamps to engage and seize each of the outer and center conductors.
