Corning Gilbert introduces the next
generation in 2-piece connector
technology, with patented design
features that provide clear performance
advantages over traditional two
piece connectors.
Only the G2 Series gives installers a
full view of the cable’s center conductor
insertion into the connector seizing
mechanism, eliminating traditional
blind entry installations. A unique
center conductor seizing system
prevents actuator lockup and
preserves connector reusability. With
the patented support sleeve located in
the back nut of the connector, cable
kinking typically associated with
2-piece connector installation.

ProductFeatures
• Support sleeve located in main
nut assembly reduces “pull back”
during installation
• Back nut radius allows smooth
transition of heat shrink tubing
• Visible entry of center conductor into
seizing mechanism (no blind entry)
•Unique actuator closing mechanism
preserves reusability
• Flush insulator prevents moisture
from collecting or migrating along
the path
• Non-rotational design for
installation and disassembly
Materials and Construction
of Connector Components:
ASTM 6262 aluminum
alloy with gold chromate
conversion coating for
excellent corrosion resistance
and a dry film lubricant to
prevent thread galling.
Contact pins and support
sleeves are brass with bright
acid tin plating providing
excellent RF conductivity.
O-rings are ultraviolet and
ozone resistant EPDM for
maximum durability.
