A conductive connector for a cable with a core strength member, an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and a cable jacket, wherein the cable can be circumferentially notched, removing a sectional length of jacket exposing an outermost layer of the inner conductor and removing a shorter sectional length of a center portion of the outermost layer, exposing one or more underlying layers of the inner conductor and a pair of flanking sectional lengths of the exposed outermost layer, said connector comprising:
- a pair of intermediate halves of a longitudinally split open-ended cylinder comprised of a conductive metallic material, said split open-ended cylinder having a split-cylinder length substantially equal to the sectional length of the jacket, where each said intermediate half has a semi-cylindrical wall with a thicker center wall having a smaller center inside diameter and a width substantially equal to the shorter sectional length of the inner conductor, and a pair of flanking walls, where said pair of flanking walls bookend said center wall, and each said flanking wall has a flanking wall length and a flanking wall inside diameter that is larger than said inside diameter of said center wall, wherein said pair of intermediate halves are configured to be assembled on the cable to form said split open-ended cylinder so that the ends of said intermediate halves sealedly abut the jacket and said center wall fits inside the shorter sectional length and abuts the flanking sectional lengths of the exposed outermost layer of the inner conductor;
- and
- a cylindrical inner ring comprised of a conductive metallic material and having a pair of open ends, each said open end having a plurality of recessed inside circumferential grooves that are proximate to the open end, wherein said inner ring has a length sufficient to span beyond said intermediate halves such that said plurality of circumferential grooves on both said open ends of said inner ring overlap the cable jacket, and wherein said inner ring has an inside diameter substantially equal to the outside diameter of the cable so that said circumferential grooves are in contact with and emboss the jacket when said inner ring is placed over and swaged onto said intermediate halves.
