A coaxial connector for attaching the end of a coaxial cable to an
equipment port includes a tubular post, a coupler, a body member having a
cylindrical sleeve, and one or more reservoirs containing a chemical
component disposed between the post and the cylindrical sleeve. Insertion
of the coaxial cable into the connector opens the reservoir, releases the
chemical component, and secures the jacket of the cable within the
cylindrical sleeve. The chemical component(s) can include an adhesive, a
volume-expanding material, and/or an agent that swells the jacket of the
cable. Two or more chemical components may be stored in two or more
adjacent reservoirs.
