Claim:
1. A coring auger for preparing an end of a coaxial cable for introduction of a flowable medium into the end, the coaxial cable having an inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, and an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric, the coring auger comprising a drive end, a cutting end, an auger bore, and a spiral flute, wherein: the coring auger longitudinally extends between the drive end and the cutting end; the cutting end has a longitudinally extending inner frustoconical dielectric tapering surface for tapering the dielectric of the end of the coaxial cable; the inner frustoconical dielectric tapering surface tapers inwardly toward the drive end such that a cross-sectional diameter of the inner frustoconical dielectric tapering surface decreases toward the drive end; the auger bore extends longitudinally through the coring auger for receiving the inner conductor of the coaxial cable as the dielectric is cut away from the end of the coaxial cable; and the spiral flute helically extends from the cutting end toward the drive end.
