Claim:
An F-connector for coaxial cable, said connector comprising: a nut adapted to be coupled to a threaded socket; an elongated, hollow post; a hollow tubular body coaxially disposed over said post; a tubular end cap; a sealing grommet disposed within said tubular end cap, wherein the sealing grommet comprises innermost and outermost portions that are integral and coaxial, the outermost portion forming the outer diameter of said enhanced grommet and having a generally squarish profile and a first grommet length enabling the grommet to snugly seat within the end cap, the innermost portion of the enhanced grommet being bulbous and comprising a convex nose aimed at the interior of the connector and having a second grommet length greater than said first grommet length, and the grommet comprises a neck disposed between said nose and said outermost portion; and, wherein, when the connector is compressed, said sealing grommet is deformed and elongated and portions of the grommet undergo a traveling phenomena thereby contacting and intermingling with portions of conductive braid associated with said coaxial cable.
