Abstract

A terminal connector assembly for connecting coaxial cables to a selected device, such as, a cable television is made up of an adaptor and socket in press-fit relation to one another with an end connector at one end of the adaptor having endless sealing rings along an inner wall surface of an outer sleeve of the connector and spaced serrations or gripping edges along an external wall surface of an inner sleeve so that when the cable is inserted into the end connector with the outer conductor and jacket in the annular space between the inner and outer sleeves, the outer sleeve can be crimped inwardly to cause the ribs to advance into uniform sealed engagement with the jacket and the gripping edges will cooperate in resisting any tendency of the cable to separate from the end connector. The socket portion either can be directly attached to a cable television terminal or wall plate or may include a second end connector for crimped connection to another coaxial cable extending from the terminal or wall plate.
