1. A switched coaxial cable connector, the connector comprising:
- a connector body and a connector body central axis;
a signal path and a ground path;
the ground path including the body;
the signal path including a first conductor and a second conductor;
the first and second conductor lying along the connector body central axis;
the first and second conductors electrically isolated from other conductors in the connector;
one of the conductors moveable with respect to the other conductor for completing the signal path through the connector;
the movable conductor movable with respect to the other conductor for opening the signal path through the connector; and
,one of the conductors protruding from the connector body and moveable with respect to the other conductor in response to the connector engaging a mating connector.

12. A coaxial connector comprising:
-
a body having first and second opposed ends; movable and fixed spring plates within the body; the movable spring plate affixed to a first conductor having projecting and non-projecting pin ends; a spring bearing on the movable spring plate urges the projecting pin end to project from the body; and
,a second conductor having a pin end and a socket end, the pin end fixedly projecting from the body and the socket end for mating along a body longitudinal centerline with the first conductor non-projecting pin end; wherein during mating with a mating connector, the first conductor is pushed toward the second conductor and the first conductor non-projecting pin mates with the second conductor socket end such that electrical signal continuity is established through the connector.
