The present disclosure describes a coaxial cable-connector assembly. The coaxial cable-connector assembly including a coaxial cable, a coaxial connector, and a polymeric sleeve. The outer connector body is swaged or crimped onto the polymeric sleeve. An end of a corrugated outer conductor of the coaxial cable is flared radially outwardly to form a flared end that secures the polymeric sleeve onto the coaxial cable. The polymeric sleeve separates the corrugated outer conductor of the coaxial cable from the outer conductor body of the coaxial connector to prevent direct radial electrical connection therebetween and the polymeric sleeve axially forces the flared end of the outer conductor of the coaxial cable in contact with a shoulder of the outer connector body of the coaxial connector. Additional coaxial cable-connector assemblies and related methods of assembling the same are described herein.

A cable termination that enables the attachment of SMA connectors to controlled-impedance cables with a conductive foil wrap shield; for the separate ferrule embodiment, the sheath is stripped back on the cable, exposing the foil shield surrounding the dielectric; a ferrule is slid or clamped over the foil shield and bonded; the face of the ferrule is dressed so that the foil shield and dielectric are flush with the ferrule face and the signal conductor protrudes from the face this cable subassembly is installed in the boss of a housing that prevents movement of the ferrules relative to each other and so that each ferrule face is aligned with an opening in the boss through which an SMA connector barrel is attached to the ferrule a cover secures the cable subassembly in the housing.

A network communication device includes communication circuitry configured to communicate signals over a network cable, and a connector configured to connect to the network cable. The connector includes one or more signal terminals, an inner shield connection and an outer shield connection. The one or more signal terminals are configured to connect to one or more signal conductors of the network cable for communicating the signals. The inner shield connection surrounds the one or more signal terminals and is connected to a circuit ground of the communication circuitry. The outer shield connection surrounds the inner shield connection and is connected to an additional ground of the network communication device, the additional ground being different from the circuit ground.

The cable assembly includes a first wire assembly. The first wire assembly is connected to a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a shell and the shell includes an extension. The extension extends away from the rear of the connector. In one embodiment, the extension is integral with the shell. The extension includes one or more openings. The first wire assembly is bent in a controlled manner at first bend. The first opening in the extension maintains the first wire assembly in the bent position to maintain control of the radius in first bend. The radius is controlled to allow the first wire assembly to fit in a small space.

An electrical plug connector for a cable has a compression sleeve and a stop element that is axially adjacent to and connected to the compression sleeve. The compression sleeve has an inner lateral surface thread that is screwable to an outer lateral surface thread of an outer conductor of the cable. The outer conductor is clampable between the compression sleeve and an axial end region of the stop element, and in an assembled state, a longitudinal axis of the compression sleeve, is tilted relative to a longitudinal axis of the stop element; or b) a normal vector of a plane spanned by an edge between an end face and an inner lateral surface of the stop element is rotated by orientation angle (φ.sub.A) relative to the longitudinal axis of the compression sleeve; or c) the edge has a helical course in a longitudinal axis direction of the plug connector.

An ear-wearable electronic device includes a shell with a cable retention slot. The cable entrance slot has an interior end and an exterior end. A bend surface extends from the exterior end of the cable retention slot to an exterior surface of the shell. The bend surface aligned with a crux of a user’s ear when the ear-wearable device is installed in an ear of the user’s ear. The shell may include a uniquely-shaped outer surface that corresponds uniquely to an ear geometry of the user of the ear-wearable device.
