  • TIGHTENING INDICATOR FOR COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR
    Publication number: 20110237126
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector includes an outer body having a first end and an opposing second end, an inner body having a first inner end and a second inner end, and a post interconnected with the inner body. A fastener portion is at the first end of the outer body. A compression sleeve is disposed to fit on the second inner end. The post, the inner body, and the compression sleeve are movable with respect to the outer body between a first position in which the connector is not mounted to an equipment port and a second position when the connector is mounted to the equipment port. When the fastener portion is mounted to the equipment port, an indicator portion on the compression sleeve is made visible to a user.

  • Pull through modular jack
    Patent number: 8016608
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a pull-through modular jack and method of use thereof. The modular jack allows wires to be fed through the housing and pulled tight prior to terminating. This ensures that the wires terminate with the insulation displacement contact very close to the point at which the wires are still twisted. Termination is made by moving a pressing portion to a pressed position, which then pushes the wires into the insulation displacement contacts that displace the wire insulation to make contact.

  • COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR SEAL
    Publication number: 20110207355
    Abstract: A connector seal including at least one cylindrical coaxial cable connector, and an elastic sleeve rolled upon itself. The sleeve is configured to unroll to enclose at least a portion of the connector. The portion of the connector may be a connection location between two of the connectors. The portion of the connector may have at least one of differing surface shapes and differing diameters. The elastic sleeve may be fastened to an exterior portion of the connector, may be pre-positioned on the connector, and may be configured to be removed entirely from the connector. A release liner covering one side of the elastic sleeve may be rolled up with the elastic sleeve. The release liner may be elastic and may be latex.
