Abstract:
A method of applying a connecting element to a high-frequency cable in a moisture-proof manner, comprising the steps of:(a) providing a high-frequency cable having a tubular electrical conductor with a sheath thereon made of an insulating material, the cable having an end where the conductor is not covered by the sheath;(b) attaching a socket-shaped metal contact part to the end of the cable in an electrically conducting manner with the conductor thereby creating a surrounding area between the contact part and the conductor; and(c) applying a sealing material between the contact part and the conductor, the sealing material, after the contact part is attached, increases its volume so that the surrounding area between the contact part and the conductor is filled by the sealing material at least in a transition area from the conductor to the sheath.
