ABSTRACT:
A compression connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable and method of use is discussed. The connector includes a post, configured to be inserted into an end of the coaxial cable around the dielectric and under the protective outer jacket thereof. The device further includes a connector body, operatively positioned with respect to the post and including a plurality of closeable fingers, a fastener member, slidably receivable with respect to the connector body for closing the closeable fingers and for securing, in both directions, axial movement of the fastener member with respect to the connector body, an outer compression sleeve, and a threaded nut, engageable with the outer compression sleeve for securely coupling the hand installable compression connector to a coaxial cable interface port. An advantage of this connector is installation without the need for specialized tools.
