Abstract

A connector for a coaxial cable having an conductive inner cable surrounded by a conductive outer cable with an insulator between the inner and outer cables. The conductor includes a conductive first base member having a first opening therethrough adapted to received the inner and outer cables therein, an insulating member secured to the first base member and having a second opening therethrough substantially in alignment with the first base member first opening, and a conductive second base member secured to the insulating member and conductively insulated from the first base member. The insulating member second opening is restricted relative to the first base member first opening whereby the second opening is adapted to receive the inner cable and the insulator and to block the outer cable from entry into the second opening. The second base member has a pocket substantially in alignment with the first and second openings and adapted to receive the inner cable and the insulator therein. A first clamping member is adapted to secure the outer cable when in the first base member opening, and a second clamping member is adapted to secure the inner cable when in the second base member pocket. The base members are adapted to connect to opposite sides of a power circuit. A transverse opening in the second base member provides a visual opening into the pocket. In another aspect, a hanging light is provided including a light fixture secured on one end of the coaxial cable and the connector secured to the other end of the coaxial cable, with the connector adapted to connect to two sides of a power circuit for operation of the light fixture.
