Abstract:
1. A coaxial cable connector comprising: an outer barrel including a longitudinal axis, the outer barrel formed with an inner compression band; a coaxial compression collar applied to the outer barrel, the compression collar including an outer compression band encircling the inner compression band formed in the outer barrel; the outer compression band includes opposed first and second wall portions and a bend formed between the first and second wall portions; the inner compression band includes opposed first and second ridge portions and a bend formed between the first and second ridge portions; the inner and outer compression bands move between an uncompressed position and a compressed position in response to axial compression of the coaxial cable connector; in the uncompressed position, the first and second wall portions of the outer compression band are in contact with the first and second ridge portions of the inner compression band, respectively, and the bend of the outer compression band is in contact with the bend of the inner compression band; and in the compressed position, the first and second wall portions of the outer compression band are apart from the first and second ridge portions of the inner compression band, respectively, and the bend of the outer compression band bears radially inward against the bend of the inner compression band.
