1. A port assembly comprising:

  • an outer housing having a first end and a second end, wherein the outer housing is configured to receive a coaxial cable through the second end, wherein the outer housing is configured to mate with a coupling member of a corresponding coaxial cable connector;

    a socket disposed within the outer housing, the socket configured to accept a center conductor of the coaxial cable;

    an insert disposed within the outer housing, the insert configured to receive a portion of the socket;

    an insulator body disposed within the outer housing, the insulator body positioned to bias the insert into engagement with the socket;

    a clamp disposed within the outer housing, the clamp including a first compression surface;

    a second compression surface, wherein the second compression surface opposingly corresponds to the first compression surface; and

    wherein the first compression surface and the second compression surface cooperate via axial compression to secure an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
