Coaxial connector

A high frequency coaxial cable having a foil ( 7 a) between the cable insulator ( 5 ) and cable braid ( 7 b), is terminated to a coaxial connector ( 40 ) in a manner that allows fast and easy cable preparation and results in a termination with minimal axial electric field lines that cause a high ins...

Summary:A high frequency coaxial cable having a foil ( 7 a) between the cable insulator ( 5 ) and cable braid ( 7 b), is terminated to a coaxial connector ( 40 ) in a manner that allows fast and easy cable preparation and results in a termination with minimal axial electric field lines that cause a high insertion loss and a high VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio). A bore ( 46 ) at the rear portion of the connector outer conductor, receives the cable insulator with foil around the cable insulator. The bore has a front part ( 54 ) that forms an interference fit around the foil, to avoid an axially-extending gap which might contain axially-extending field lines. The front of cable insulator and foil are flush and both abut the insulation ( 25 ) of the connector.
