1. A connector for securing a coaxial cable to a selected device, said connector comprising:
- an outer member having a rearward end, a forward end, an outer surface and a bore defined by an inner surface, for receiving said coaxial cable;
a coupling member attached to said forward end of said outer member for securing said coaxial cable to a selected device; and
securement means carried by said outer member including a compression groove being deformable in a substantially uniformly radially inward direction, forming a continuous annular seal, mechanically and sealingly engaging said coaxial cable in response to a longitudinal compressive force.

14. A connector for securing a coaxial cable to a selected device, said connector comprising:
-
an outer member having a rearward end, a forward end, an outer surface and a bore defined by an inner surface, for receiving said coaxial cable; a coupling member attached to said forward end of said outer member for securing said coaxial cable to a selected device; and securement means carried by said outer member for mechanically and sealingly engaging said coaxial cable in response to a longitudinal compressive force, said securement means including an intermediate member carried within said bore of said outer member and having an outer surface, an inner surface defining a bore for receiving said coaxial cable, an inner end and an outer end, and engagement means for constrictively, mechanically and sealingly engaging said coaxial cable in response to said longitudinal compressive force, thereby forming a continuous annular seal. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
