International Classification:
H01R 905
US Classification:
439578, 439585, 439 63, 439675
Abstract:
The present invention provides a connector used to interconnect a hard-line coaxial cable to an equipment port. The connector of the present invention essentially comprises a main connector body in which the various connecting and sealing members are housed, and a compression body attached to the connector body for axial, sliding movement between first and second terminal positions relative to the connector body. The port side of the connector includes a conductive pin extending axially outwardly therefrom that is adapted to be inserted into the port provided in the equipment box, and an axially extending bore is formed though the distal end (cable side) of the connector and compression bodies for receiving the central conductor of the hard-line cable therein.
Catv Filter Assembly With Improved Electrical Grounding

International Classification:
H03H 701
US Classification:
333185, 333176
Abstract:
A filter assembly for use in the CATV industry includes a circuit formed by components mounted upon at least one circuit board with a plurality of paths or traces on the board connecting each section of the circuit to a member at ground potential. The grounding member may be a grounding bus on the circuit board which is in contact with a housing wherein the circuit board is mounted, or the paths may extend from a circuit component to contact the housing directly. The paths are kept to a very short length, preferably not more than 2. 5 millimeters and in no case longer than 5 millimeters. This avoids the presence of inductive and/or resistive parasitics in the paths, thereby avoiding the degradation of performance typical in comparable prior art filter circuits, particularly at higher frequencies, e. g. , above about 300 MHz. In the preferred embodiment grounding buses in the form of elongated strips extend along opposite edge portions of the board.

US Classification:
333185, 333176
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for protecting a filter trap that is utilized in a coaxial cable system against theft of service. A shield is mounted inside the filter trap which contains a pair of end connectors that are aligned along a common axis. The shield has two parallel end faces that are perpendicularly aligned with regard to the common axis. A barrier is mounted on one or both end faces for intercepting a cutting tool moving along the axis to direct the tool away from the axis causing the tool to break or to prevent a passage to be completed between the end connectors.
Method And Assembly For Connecting A Coaxial Cable To A Connecting Port
An assembly for connecting a coaxial cable to a connecting port. The connecting assembly has a tubular fitting with a central axis and axially spaced first and second ends. The tubular fitting is operatively engageable with a coaxial cable directed into axially overlapping relationship with the tubular fitting at the first end of the tubular fitting. The tubular fitting has a first connecting assembly including a first connecting part that is movable around the central axis selectively in (a) a first direction to a secured state and (b) oppositely to the first direction from the secured state into a released state. In the secured state, the first connecting part maintains a coaxial cable, operatively engaged with the tubular fitting, connected to the connecting port. A shield assembly blocks radial access to the first connecting assembly in a manner that allows the first connecting part to be accessed and moved from the secured state into the released state with the shield assembly in the operative state. The shield assembly cooperates with the tubular fitting to allow the shield assembly to be placed, and maintained, in the operative state by relative axial movement of the shield assembly and tubular fitting.
Coaxial Cable Connector Having Conductive Engagement Element And Method Of Use Thereof
John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc. - East Syracuse NY
International Classification:
H01R 9/05
US Classification:
439578
Abstract:
A coaxial cable connector is provided, wherein the connector comprises a conductive engagement element slidably positionable around a post element of the connector and entirely within an internal cavity of a connector body of the connector. The conductive engagement element is configured to physically and electrically contact a lengthwise portion of a coaxial cable as securely affixed to the connector with a fastener member facilitating an annular environmental seal between the cable and the connector.

Abstract:
Method and apparatus for protecting a filter trap that is utilized in a coaxial cable system against theft of service. A barrier is mounted inside a filter housing which includes a pair of end connectors that are aligned along a common axis. The barrier is mounted on one or both end faces plate or isolation shield for intercepting a cutting tool moving along the axis to direct the tool away from the axis. At least one opening in the plate adjacent to the barrier engages the intercepted cutting tool and further directs the tool away from the axis causing the tool to break or to prevent the formation of a passage between the end connectors.
Connector Assembly For A Cable Having A Radially Facing Conductive Surface And Method Of Operatively Assembling The Connector Assembly

Assignee:
John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc. - East Syracuse NY
International Classification:
H01R 9/05
US Classification:
439578, 439585
Abstract:
The combination of an elongate cable and a connector assembly. The elongate cable has a central axis and a receptacle with a radially inwardly facing conductive surface. A body on the connector assembly has an insert portion with a wall having a radially inwardly facing surface and a radially outwardly facing conductive surface. A first connector is in electrical contact with the radially outwardly facing conductive surface on the wall. The insert portion is extended into the receptacle on the cable. A biasing assembly is configured to produce a resilient radial force on the wall of the connector assembly so as to maintain the radially outwardly facing conductive surface of the wall in electrical contract with the radially inwardly facing conductive surface of the elongate cable to thereby maintain a conductive path between the radially inwardly facing conductive surface on the elongate cable and the first connector.
