  • Patent number: 4740172
    Abstract: Modular apparatus for connecting the output terminals of one article of video equipment to the input terminals of a second article of video equipment, comprising first and second modular adapters and at least one modular connector cable. Each modular adapter comprises an insulated housing comprising a modular jack portion and either a coaxial connector portion or a twin-lead cable portion. A standard, six-position modular telephone jack is positioned in the modular jack portion. A male coaxial connector is positioned in the coaxial connector portion, while a 300 ohm twin-lead cable is positioned in the twin-lead cable portion. In one embodiment, the conductors of the modular jack are electrically connected to the solid central conductor and the conductive wire sheath of the coaxial connector, or to the wires of the twin-lead cable.
