COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTORS AND ASSOCIATED WASHERS
First Claim
1. A coaxial cable connector, comprising:
- a coupling nut having a first end portion, a second end portion, and an inner surface defining a bore for receiving a corresponding coaxial cable connector;
a conductive insert having an annular flange positioned at least partially in the bore; and
a washer positioned between the second end portion of the coupling nut and the annular flange, wherein at least a portion of the washer is configured to press against at least one of the annular flange and the second end portion of the coupling nut to restrict rotation between the coaxial cable connectors.

Abstract
Coaxial cable connectors including washers are described herein. A coaxial cable connector configured in accordance with an embodiment of the present technology includes a conductive insert, a coupling nut, and a washer. The coupling nut can include a first end portion, a second end portion, and an inner surface defining a bore for receiving a corresponding coaxial cable connector. The conductive insert can include an annular flange at least partially surrounded by the bore. The washer can be positioned between the second end portion of the coupling nut and the annular flange, and can be configured to press against at least one of the annular flange and the second end portion of the coupling nut to restrict rotation between the coaxial cable connectors.
