Abstract

One embodiment of the present application is an assembly that comprises a threaded connection component, a coaxial cable, and a coaxial cable connector. The coaxial cable includes an outer insulator, an inner insulator, an outer electrical conductor positioned between these insulators, and an inner electrical conductor extending through the inner insulator. The connector includes a body defining a chamber and an opening that is configured to receive the cable. The connector includes a fastener rotatably connected to the body opposite the opening that has internal threading engaged by the threaded connection component, and a cable engagement device captured within the chamber. This device includes a mandrel with a head. A mandrel end opposite the head penetrates the coaxial cable and is secured between the outer and inner insulators thereof in response to compressive force exerted on the head by advancing the threaded component into the fastener.
