The Cable Crimp style is a widely used coaxial cable attachment method that establishes both mechanical and electrical connections between the cable and the connector. In this method, a crimp tool deforms the connector around the cable, creating a secure mechanical bond. The process involves crimping both the center conductor of the cable and the braided shield to their corresponding connector parts. The inner conductor is usually inserted into the contact pin of the connector and then crimped (or alternatively soldered), ensuring a solid electrical connection. The braided shielding of the cable is then crimped to the connector body using the connector's ferrule, providing both an electrical path for the signal return and mechanical support to the connection. This two-step process ensures the connector's firm grip on the cable without compromising the cable's inner structure and signal integrity.
