Clamp Method｜Glossary
This section is part of the Coaxial Cable Glossary for RF and coaxial systems.
What Is a Clamp Method?
A clamp method is a type of termination method used to attach a connector to a cable.
It secures the outer conductor by mechanically clamping it between connector components.
Typically, the connection is finalized using a tightening nut, making it a solder-type or mechanical fastening method that does not require crimping tools.
Clamp Method in RF and Coaxial Systems
In RF and coaxial systems, the clamp method is used for easy and reliable connector installation.
It allows for stable mechanical connection without specialized crimping tools, making it suitable for field assembly.
However, proper tightening is essential to ensure good electrical contact and prevent signal degradation.
