Abstract: An assembly of mated coaxial connectors includes: a first connector with a first central conductor extension and a first outer conductor extension having a free end portion; and a second connector with a second central conductor extension and a second outer conductor extension having an outer body and an inner body with a gap therebetween. The first central conductor extension engages the second central conductor extension. The free end portion of the first outer conductor extension fits within the gap of the second outer conductor extension, such that the inner body applies radially outward pressure to the first outer conductor extension. At least one of the first outer conductor extension and the second outer conductor extension includes a flex member that deflects during axial engagement of the first and second connectors to apply axial pressure to the other of the first outer conductor extension and the second outer conductor extension.

Abstract: A cable reduces loop inductance by changing the cross-sectional shape of the conductive elements of power supply and return conductors to something other than the traditional circular cross sectional shape, e.g., to a thin generally rectangular shape. The power supply and return conductors are also controlled in placement along the length of the cable, so that mutual inductance is maximized within a given power supply circuit, and minimized between the given power supply circuit and other power supply circuits within the cable. The return power supply conductor may optionally be sized for multiple power supply circuits, which may further reduce loop inductance and reduce crosstalk noise between different power supply circuits within a common cable. The power supply and return conductors may be part of a hybrid cable used to power and communicate with plural remote radio units proximate a top of a tower.

Abstract: A coaxial cable-connector assembly includes a coaxial cable and a coaxial cable connector. The coaxial cable includes: a central conductor having a connector end; a dielectric layer that overlies the central conductor; and an outer conductor that overlies the dielectric layer having a connector end. The coaxial connector includes: a central conductor extension configured to mate with a mating connector at one end; a first insulative layer interposed between an opposed second end of the central conductor extension and the connector end of the central conductor; an outer conductor extension configured to mate with a mating connector at one end; and a second insulative layer interposed between an opposed second end of the outer conductor extension and the connector end of the outer conductor. This configuration can reduce and/or avoid PIM within the connection of two coaxial connectors.
