Abstract

A waterproof cable connector includes a first cable terminal for transmitting or receiving electrical signals of a first cable to or from a second cable, a waterproof member combined with the first cable to perform a waterproof function of the first cable terminal, and a first fastener wrapping the first cable terminal and the waterproof member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A waterproof cable connector comprising:
a first cable terminal for transmitting or receiving electrical signals of a first cable to or from a second cable; a waterproof member combined with the first cable to perform a waterproof function of the first cable terminal; and a first fastener wrapping the first cable terminal and the waterproof member.

2 . The connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a second fastener having a connection groove that can be electrically connected to the first cable terminal and capable of being engaged with the first fastener.

3 . The connector according to claim 2 , wherein an external thread is formed on the second fastener and can be combined with an internal thread formed on the first fastener.

4 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein an accommodation hole having a shape complementing an outer appearance of the first cable terminal is formed in the waterproof member.

5 . The connector according to claim 4 , wherein the waterproof member has an incised groove formed by cutting part of the waterproof member to be connected to the accommodation hole.

6 . The connector according to claim 4 , wherein the waterproof member is cut into two pieces to be inserted in the first cable.

7 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first cable terminal is a registered jack.

8 . The connector according to claim 1 , further comprising a waterproof ring engaged between the first fastener and the second fastener to perform a waterproof function.

9 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein an inner diameter of a rear part of the first fastener is larger than a diagonal width of the first cable terminal.

10 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein a stopper is formed at a rear part of the first fastener to prevent separation of the waterproof member by a stopping part formed at a rear end of the waterproof member.

11 . The connector according to claim 10 , wherein an inner diameter of the stopper is larger than a diagonal width of the first cable terminal.

12 . The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the first fastener is tapered to have a reduced diameter.
