Abstract
A coaxial cable connector comprising a coupler, a body, a shell, a ferrule, and a compression ring is disclosed. The ferrule is disposed adjacent to the body and has a plurality of fingers with inwardly directed barbs and a channel with a wall having an inwardly facing surface with inner projections. The compression ring is disposed within the shell and engages the rear end of the ferrule. Advancing the shell toward the coupler causes the compression ring to drive the rear portion of the ferrule inwardly. This causes the plurality of fingers to flex inwardly toward the coaxial cable forcing the barbs against the coaxial cable. This also causes the compression ring to provide a biasing force against the channel forcing the inner projections of the inwardly facing surface of the wall to bite into the coaxial cable.
