Abstract:
A connector assembly for coupling a continuous length of coaxial cable to a bulkhead, said coaxial cable including an insulation layer disposed around an outer conductor, said connector assembly comprising:a first conductive mounting member having a first inner peripheral surface that is configured to mate with an outer peripheral surface of said outer conductor for a segment of said continuous length of said coaxial cable, and a first outer peripheral surface having a first bulkhead mating portion member extending perpendicularly therefrom between opposite ends of said first conductive mounting member, said first bulkhead mating portion member being configured to mate with said bulkhead, and including a first through hole having a first axis that is parallel to said first outer peripheral surface, said first through hole being configured to permit a first bolt to pass therethrough so as to mount said first conductive mounting member to said bulkhead; and a fastener that is configured to couple said first conductive mounting member to said outer conductor of said segment of said continuous length of said coaxial cable, wherein said continuous length of said coaxial cable is uninterrupted within said connector assembly, wherein said first conductive mounting member electrically couples said outer conductor to said bulk head when said first conductive mounting member is mounted to said bulkhead.
