Coaxial cable and connector with capacitive coupling

A coaxial cable-connector assembly, comprising:

• (a) a coaxial cable comprising:
• a central conductor having a connector end;
• a dielectric layer that overlies the central conductor;
• and
• an outer conductor that overlies the dielectric layer having a connector end;
• and
• (b) a coaxial connector, comprising:
• a central conductor extension configured to mate with a mating connector at one end;
• a first insulative layer interposed between an opposed second end of the central conductor extension and the connector end of the central conductor;
• an outer conductor extension configured to mate with a mating connector at one end;
• and
• a second insulative layer interposed between an opposed second end of the outer conductor extension and the connector end of the outer conductor;
• wherein a portion of the outer conductor extension directly contacts the outer conductor to form a ground connection.
