Waterproof coaxial cable connector

An outer housing member for a coaxial connector, the outer housing member comprising:

• an internal lumen configured to surround at least a portion of a proximal end of a coaxial cable;
• a concavity at a proximal end of the outer housing member, wherein the concavity includes an opening that is contiguous with the internal lumen, and wherein the concavity is configured to contain at least a portion of the coaxial connector extending through the opening into the concavity;
• a first interlocking connector element located adjacent the concavity;
• at least one sealing body within the internal lumen, the at least one sealing body configured to form a seal between the housing and the coaxial cable;
• and
• a compressible surface configured to encircle at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the internal lumen within the concavity.

A method for making a connector assembly for a coaxial cable, the method comprising:

• inserting a coaxial cable through an internal lumen of an outer housing member, the outer housing member having a proximal end and a distal end, the outer housing member comprising a concavity at the proximal end of the housing member, and wherein the concavity includes an opening that is contiguous with the internal lumen;
• connecting, after inserting the coaxial cable through the internal lumen, a coaxial connector to a proximal end of the coaxial cable;
• positioning the coaxial connector so as to at least partially protrude into the concavity;
• forming a seal between a portion of the coaxial cable within the internal lumen and the outer housing member;
• and
• attaching a compressible elastomeric body in the concavity, wherein the compressible elastomeric body encircles at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the internal lumen within the concavity.
