Abstract:
1. A post-less coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal, the coaxial cable comprising an inner conductor, a dielectric surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric, and a jacket surrounding the outer conductor, the post-less coaxial cable connector comprising: a body having an internal surface extending between front and rear ends of the body, the internal surface defining a longitudinal opening, and a collapsible groove disposed between the front and rear ends; a shell having an outer surface and an internal surface, the internal surface defining an opening through the shell, the internal surface slidingly engaging at least a portion of the rear end of the body; and a compression ring disposed within the shell and engaging the rear end of the body, the compression ring having an internal surface and at least a portion of the internal surface having projections disposed around at least a portion thereof, wherein upon compression of the post-less coaxial cable connector the projections of the compression ring engage the jacket of the coaxial cable to prevent rotation of the coaxial cable relative to the post-less coaxial cable connector and a portion of the body comprising a portion of the collapsible groove is compressed radially inwardly to engage the outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
