Claim 1
Independent Claim
269 words
In a triaxial cable having a center conductor, inner and outer conductive sheaths approximately concentric with said conductor, said inner sheath being positioned inside of said outer sheath, first dielectric means positioned around said conductor to keep said conductor insulated from said inner sheath, and second dielectric means positioned between said sheaths to keep them insulated from each other, an electrical termination comprising: a conductive tube-like first structure extending around said second dielectric means between said second dielectric means and said outer sheath, said first structure being fixed relative to and in contact with said outer sheath, said first structure having an outwardly extending radial first flange; a conductive tube-like second structure extending around said first dielectric means on one side of said flange between said first dielectric means and said inner sheath, said second structure being fixed relative to and in contact with said inner sheath; third dielectric means extending contiguously around said second structure; a hollow conductive cylinder fitting contiguously around said third dielectric means and abutting said first flange, said cylinder having an inwardly extending radial second flange, said third dielectric means fitting snugly between said first and second flanges; and nut threaded onto the exterior of that portion of said cylinder adjacent said first flange, said first structure being located on the other side of said first flange, said nut having a radially inwardly extending third flange in engagement with said other side of said first flange, said conductor and said inner sheath being exposed for electric connections thereto at a point spaced from said first flange in the direction of said one side thereof.
