Embodiment Construction

[0018] The invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the specific embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this text will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like reference numbers refer to like parts throughout, and prime symbols are used to refer to similar parts in alternative embodiments.

[0019] refer to Figure 1-3 , the connector 20 attached to the coaxial cable 45 is now described. Coaxial cable 45 includes an inner conductor 49 , an outer conductor 47 , and a dielectric 48 between inner conductor 49 and outer conductor 47 . The inner conductor 49 is a hollow inner conductor having an inner conductor wire 51 and an inner conductor dielectric 4...

Abstract

A connector is to be attached to a coaxial cable having an inner conductor, an outer conductor, a dielectric between the inner conductor and outer conductor, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor. The connector includes a back nut to be received over the jacket of the coaxial cable and having an internal back nut ramp defined therein. A connector housing engages the back nut. There is a jacket gripping ferrule within the back nut that has a rearward portion configured to be urged radially inwardly by the internal back nut ramp to thereby dig into the cable jacket as the connector housing and back nut are engaged.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of connectors for cables, and more particularly to connectors for coaxial cables and related methods. Background technique [0002] Coaxial cables are widely used to transmit high frequency electrical signals. Coaxial cables enjoy high bandwidth, low signal loss, are mechanically robust, and are relatively low cost. One particularly advantageous use of coaxial cables is for connecting electronic equipment at a cellular or wireless base station to antennas mounted at the top of nearby antenna towers. For example, a transmitter located in an instrument case may be connected to a transmitting antenna supported by an antenna tower. Similarly, the receiver is also connected to its associated receive antenna via a coaxial cable path. [0003] A typical installation involves running a larger diameter coaxial cable between the instrument case and the top of the antenna tower to thereby reduce signal loss. Some coa...
