Abstract
A method for producing an operative connection between a coaxial cable (1) and a coaxial connector (16). A cable jacket (5), if present, is removed by means of a first tool (6) to a predefined first length L1. In a second step, an outer conductor (3) is removed by means of a second tool (7) to a predefined second length L2. In a third step, a dielectric (4) is removed by means of a third tool (8) to a third length L3, such that one end (15) of the inner conductor (2) is exposed. Then the end (15) of the inner cable conductor (2) is formed by means of a rotary swaging device (9), which comprises a plurality of deflectable jaws (10) rotatable circumferentially about an axis of rotation (11) and each hammering in the radial direction with at least one operative surface (14).
