ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a connector for terminating and connecting a portion of a cable. The connector is used with a cable having a core comprising synthetic filaments, a polymeric sheath covering the core, an inner sheath comprising braided metallic filaments covering the polymeric sheath, and a polymeric outer jacket covering the inner sheath. Portions of the jacket and the inner sheath are stripped proximate the portion of a cable to be terminated to provide an exposed polymeric sheath and core portion of a first predetermined length and an exposed inner sheath portion of a second predetermined length. A generally tubular outer sleeve, having an axial length at least slightly greater than the length of exposed braided metallic filaments, is positioned so that either sleeve end extends beyond the exposed portion of the braided metallic sheath. An expansion member is disposed between the core and the exposed portion of the braided metallic sheath for expanding at least a portion of the braided metallic sheath radially outwardly to engage the outer sleeve. A sealant is preferably disposed within the sleeve for sealing the portion of the cable so terminated.
