Abstract

A coaxial cable connector includes a connector body having a rearward cable receiving end, a locking sleeve movably coupled within the rearward cable receiving end of the connector body for locking the cable in the connector and a gripping ferrule disposed between the connector body and the locking sleeve. The gripping ferrule includes axially opposite gripping ends which move in a radially inward direction upon compression between the locking sleeve and the connector body to grip the outer surface of the cable.

Claims (20)

1. A coaxial cable connector comprising:
a connector body having a rearward cable receiving end;
a locking sleeve movably coupled to said rearward cable receiving end of said connector body; and a tubular gripping ferrule disposed within said connector body, said gripping ferrule having axially opposite gripping ends, said gripping ends moving radially inward upon axial movement of said locking sleeve to grip a cable inserted within said connector body at two axially spaced locations.
2. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 1, wherein at least one gripping end of said gripping ferrule comprises at least one flexible finger extending in an axial direction, said flexible finger deflecting radially inward upon axial movement of said locking sleeve.
3. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 2, wherein said flexible finger includes a tapered forward end defining a sharp edge to facilitate gripping of the cable.
4. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 1, wherein said connector body includes an internal ramp portion for facilitating inward radial movement of a gripping end of said gripping ferrule.
5. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 1, wherein said locking sleeve includes an internal ramp portion for facilitating inward radial movement of a gripping and of said gripping ferrule.
6. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 1, wherein said connector body includes an internal ramp portion for facilitating inward radial movement of a forward gripping end of said gripping ferrule, and wherein said locking sleeve includes an internal ramp portion for facilitating inward radial movement of a rearward gripping and of said gripping ferrule.
7. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 1, wherein said gripping ferrule includes a threaded inner surface for threadably engaging a cable.
8. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 7, wherein said gripping ferrule includes structure for preventing rotation of said gripping ferrule with respect to at least one of said connector body and said locking sleeve.
9. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 1, wherein said gripping ferrule includes a corrugated inner surface for engaging a cable.
10. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 1, further comprising an annular post disposed within said connector body, said annular post including a tubular extension extending axially toward said gripping ferrule.
11. A coaxial cable connector as defined in Claim 10, wherein a forward gripping end of said gripping ferrule moves radially inward to compress a portion of the cable against said tubular extension of said post upon movement of said locking sleeve.
12. A method for terminating a coaxial cable in a connector comprising the steps of:
inserting an end of a cable into a rearward cable receiving end of a connector body; and axially moving a locking sleeve coupled to said connector body, wherein said movement of said locking sleeve causes opposite axial ends of a gripping ferrule disposed within said connector body to move radially inward to grip the cable at two axially spaced locations.
13. A method as defined in Claim 12, wherein at least one gripping end of said gripping ferrule comprises at least one flexible finger extending in an axial direction, said flexible finger deflecting radially inward upon axial movement of said locking sleeve.
14. A method as defined in Claim 13, wherein said flexible finger includes a tapered forward end defining a sharp edge to facilitate gripping of the cable.
15. A method as defined in Claim 12, wherein said connector body includes an internal ramp portion for facilitating inward radial movement of a gripping end of said gripping ferrule during said step of axially moving said locking sleeve.
16. A method as defined in Claim 12, wherein said locking sleeve includes an internal ramp portion for facilitating inward radial movement of a gripping end of said gripping ferrule during said step of axially moving said locking sleeve.
17. A method as defined in Claim 12, wherein said connector body includes an internal ramp portion for facilitating inward radial movement of a forward gripping end of said gripping ferrule during said step of axially moving said locking sleeve, and wherein said locking sleeve includes an internal ramp portion for facilitating inward radial movement of a rearward gripping end of said gripping ferrule during said step of axially moving said locking sleeve.
18. A method as defined in Claim 12, wherein said gripping ferrule includes a threaded inner surface for threadably engaging the cable, and wherein said cable insertion step comprises the step of threading said gripping ferrule on the end of the cable.
19. A method as defined in Claim 12, wherein said gripping ferrule includes a corrugated inner surface for engaging a cable.
20. A method as defined in Claim 12, wherein said connector body further includes an annular post having a tubular extension extending axially toward said gripping ferrule and a forward gripping end of said gripping ferrule moves radially inward to compress a portion of the cable against said tubular extension of said post upon movement of said locking sleeve.
