Cable Captivated style refers to solderless captive clamp attachments primarily used with larger coaxial cables, where the pin is pre-positioned inside the connector body. This design negates the need for soldering, thereby simplifying the attachment process. The cable must be prepared according to specified dimensions before being inserted into the connector body, ensuring the components mate correctly. This process promotes a solid contact between the pin and the cable's centre conductor, which is essential for reliable signal propagation.
