Abstract

A fitting for connecting a coaxial cable to a terminal or to another coaxial cable is made up of a connector body, an outer sleeve extending from one end of the connector body for insertion of an end of the cable, and a crimping member is loosely connected to the outer sleeve and has a tapered annular portion which in response to engagement by a compression tool will undergo axial movement with respect to the outer sleeve member and impart inward radial deformation to the outer sleeve member into sealed engagement with an external surface of the cable. In a modified form for splicing two cables together, the connector body is provided with outer sleeve members at opposite ends into which the ends of the coaxial cables are inserted and crimping members for crimping both of the sleeve members into sealed engagement with each of the respective cables.
