Coaxial cable with angle connector

Abstract

A coaxial cable structure includes an outer cable conductor, and an angle connector, for example a 90° elbow connector, disposed on one cable end. The elbow connector is implemented by encapsulating the one cable end with thermoplastic material and including a metal sleeve which is placed in contact with the outer cable conductor to define an outer conductor of the elbow connector.

1 . A coaxial cable structure, comprising: 
 a coaxial cable including an outer cable conductor and having two cable ends, with at least one of the cable ends being bent, and    an angle connector disposed on the one cable end, said angle connector implemented by encapsulating the one cable end with thermoplastic material through injection molding and including a metal sleeve placed in contact with the outer cable conductor and defining an outer conductor of a cable connector.    
     
     
         2 . The coaxial cable structure of  claim 1 , wherein the one cable end is bent by a 90° angle to form an elbow connector, said coaxial cable having a cable jacket which is trimmed away at the one cable end, said elbow connector including a molded part made of thermoplastic material and encapsulating the one cable end through injection molding in such a manner that a short portion of the coaxial cable is exposed beyond the molded part to attach the metal sleeve sufficiently enough for an end of an exposed inner cable conductor to form a plug pin of the cable connector and an end of an exposed cable dielectric to form a dielectric of the cable connector.  
     
     
         3 . The coaxial cable structure of  claim 2 , wherein the inner cable conductor at the one cable end has one end which is conically tapered.  
     
     
         4 . The coaxial cable of  claim 1 , and further comprising a coupling sleeve disposed of the metal sleeve and held captive by an outside collar of the metal sleeve.  
     
     
         5 . The coaxial cable of  claim 2 , wherein the molded part has at least one reinforcement rib disposed in a plane of the 90° angle of the elbow connector.
