ABSTRACT The present invention relates to a connector assembly for coaxial cables. In applications where such a connector must be a sealed connector assembly adapted for use in outdoor applica- tions there the cable and the connector assembly are exposed to the elements prior art connectors have suffered from the disad vantages of being constructed of numerous parts and are expensive to manufacture. The present invention is directed toward an im- proved environmentally protected connector assembly for coaxial cables, which is relatively simple and economical in construction. is easy to assemble, and effectively prevents the intrusion of water or other deleterious substances to the interior of the eon nector. According to the invention there is provided a tubular stem insertable between the braided outer conductor and inner in- sulation of the cable and fixedly carrying a collar and rotatably carrying a coupling nut for connection to a compatible connector component. O-rings provide seals between the coupling nut and the compatible connector and the collar. A resilient sleeve is re- ceived over the cable and includes inner ribs adjacent to one end to provide a watertight seal with the cable and having at the other end a lip engaging a flange on the collar to provdide a further watertight seal. A retaining shoulder in the sleeve cooperates with an enlarged portion of the insertion end of the stem to retain the sleeve in place and provide further sealing. A crimp ferrule around the cable serves to clap it on the connector arm.
