Abstract
Apparatus, methods and articles of manufacture for a coaxial cable connector that allows variable wire termination orientations are disclosed. A connector housing is used to install the embodiments upon a mating connector, with a cable housing providing contact for a coax cable. A core member provides connection for an inner conductor, and a cap is used to seal the connector, once the cable is installed within the cable housing.
Claims13
A coaxial cable connector, comprising:
- a connector housing for interfacing with a mating connector,
- a cable housing, connected to said connector housing, having an open ended recess,
- a core member, having disposed therein a closed guide means, wherein said core member is extending within said connector housing and said cable housing, and further is extending at least partially into said open ended recess so that said closed guide means is accessible through said open ended recess, for receiving a coax cable inner conductor, and,
- a cap, for sealing said open ended recess upon installation of said inner conductor of said coax cable.

A method for installing a coaxial cable connector with a mating connector and coax, comprising:
- interfacing a connector housing with said mating connector,
- introducing said cable into a cable housing, whereby said cable housing is connected to said connector housing, and further wherein said cable housing has an open ended recess,
- installing a core member to an inner conductor of said coax, whereby said core member has disposed therein a closed guide means, and further wherein said core member extends within said connector housing and said cable housing, and further extends at least partially into said open ended recess so that said closed guide means is accessible through said open ended recess, for receiving said inner conductor, and,
- sealing said open ended recess upon installation of said inner conductor of said coax cable.
