From the desG'iptier. of the :caxial c ;up:lr:g c~tained by the solution aC.~.ording to the present ~rnrention, the advantGcas that said coaxial slidable sleeve far coaxial connection 1 ailcws to obtain with respect to the known coaxial connection systems are cuite evident.
7 0 )t is in fact evident the ease and the convenience of use of the solution according to the invention, whic;~ can be set up without employing any tool but the one necessary to strip the coaxial eacle 2G.
Further, the electrical features cf the coaxial coupling are optimal: the concentricity and t'~e complete screening ef the connection are ensured by the immediate electric contact between the czble screen 21 and the outer surtace or wall 41 of the connector ~0, contact obtained immediately after that t3ie screen 21 of the coaxial cable 20 is widened and detaG~ted from the dieiectr is 2~ dividing the same screen 21 from the central conductor 23 of the waxiai cable 20.
These features allow to have a perfect wortcing of the coaxial connection within a freguencies range between 0 and more 'than 2600 MNz.
The sleeve for ~,,oaxiai connection 1 acc,~,rdirg to the invention further allows to make coaxial connection within small spaces, such as the space available within tt~e :..~sual connection blocks of the radio TV signal distribution systems provided within the houses_ A further remarkable advantage is due to the low total cost of the coaxial connection that such a connector allows to realise, cost obtained adding the cost for the material of the connector with !he cost of the labour necessary for the realisation of the connection: as it is evident from the above specification of the solution according to the invention and of its use, both ,~,osts are very low and in any case lower than the costs necessary to make a valid coaxial connection empbyir~g 'c~rr>~rs.
Further, the sleeve for coaxial connection 1 according to the 35' invention completely covers the connector, protecting the same.

Another advantage is due to the fact That the sleeve for coaxial connection 1 according to the invention can be used more than once in case it is necessary to make the connec~icn again. ..
Moreover, the squeezing ef the cable does net cc:...,r, squeezing instead Qccurring with the other soiutlcns cf the prier ar*,.

42. ~~A method for joining a coaxial cable directly onto a female coaxial connector using a unitary sleeve having a first coaxial inner cylindrical seat and a second coaxial inner cylindrical seat, the first coaxial inner cylindrical seat having a wall with an inner diameter dimensioned for receipt of the coaxial cable and the second coaxial inner cylindrical seat having a wall with an inner diameter dimensioned for receipt of an outer wall conductor of the female coaxial connector;
wherein the diameter of the first coaxial inner cylindrical seat is different from the diameter of the second coaxial inner cylindrical seat comprising:
axial hand sliding of the unitary sleeve along the coaxial cable to effectuate a tool free, axial slide on coupling of the coaxial cable and the female coaxial connector with a concentric pressure coupling of the screening conductor of the coaxial cable between the wall of the second coaxial inner cylindrical seat and the outer wall conductor of the female coaxial connector.
43. ~~The method of claim 42 wherein axial sliding of the unitary sleeve includes sliding said unitary sleeve so as to position the screening conductor so as to extend axial out away from a sheathing end of the coaxial cable for reception between the outer wall conductor of the female coaxial connector and the wall of the second coaxial inner cylindrical seat.
44. ~~The method of claim 42 wherein axial sliding of the unitary sleeve includes axial sliding a unitary sleeve having a circumferential projection extending radially inward from the wall of the second coaxial inner cylindrical seat and into contact with the screening conductor.
45. ~~The method of claim 44 wherein axial sliding the unitary sleeve includes positioning said circumferential projection so as to engage with threads on the outer wall conductor of the female connector.
46. ~~The method of claim 42 wherein the joining of the coaxial cable and female connector includes axial coupling while allowing rotation of the coaxial cable relative to the female connector while in an operating position.
47. ~~The method of claim 42 wherein sliding the unitary sleeve includes sliding a semi-rigid plastic sleeve which deflects and returns to achieve a pressure coupling wherein a concentrically constant pressure coupling is achieved which facilitates a constant power transfer status between the female connector and contacting screening conductor.
48. ~~The method of claim 41 wherein upon completion of the pressure coupling a central conductor of the coaxial cable extends into an electrical connection with the female coaxial connector within a space defined by the second coaxial inner cylindrical seat.
49. ~~The method of claim 17 wherein upon completion of the pressure coupling a central conductor of the coaxial cable extends into an electrical connection with the female coaxial connector within a space defined by the second coaxial inner cylindrical seat.
