  • Patent number: 10892571
    Abstract: An arrangement for connecting a coaxial cable (500) to a connector, wherein the coaxial cable (500) comprises at least one metal braid layer (506) surrounding inner parts of the cable (500) and an outer insulating layer (508) surrounding said at least one metal braid layer (506); the connector comprises a ferrule (512) to be arranged in electrical contact with said at least one metal braid layer (506) and means (514, 516) for applying a pressure force (522) to the outer insulating layer (508) of the coaxial cable (500) in a position of said electrical contact; and a silicone sleeve (520) is arranged between said means (514, 516) for applying a pressure force (522) and the outer insulating layer (508) of the coaxial cable (500) in a position that, when said inner parts (502, 504) of the cable (500) are inserted within the ferrule (512), said pressure force (522) is applied to the silicone sleeve (508).

  • Patent number: 10530074
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector (610) for connecting a coaxial cable (600), wherein the connector (610) comprises an elongated ferrule (612) arranged to be configured in electrical contact with at least one metal braid layer (606) of the coaxial cable (600); a compression fitting (614) arranged around said ferrule (612); and means (618) for applying a pressure force to the compression fitting (614) such that a surface (614a) of the compression fitting (614) applies a force to an outer insulating layer (608) of the coaxial cable (600) surrounding said at least one metal braid layer (608) substantially over the whole length of said surface (614a) of the compression fitting (614).

  • Publication number: 20090320086
    Abstract: An in-house coaxial network includes an input (10) capable of connection to a cable or satellite television signal provider and which is connected to a signal splitting device (12) for communicating the signal to a plurality of outlets in the form of subscriber equipment, wherein a filter (36: 38) is positioned between the input (10) and the signal splitting device (12). The filter is adapted to reflect signals outside a frequency pass band used for data transfer thereby to reduce signal loss. By reflecting signals outside the frequency pass band, whilst at the same time passing all signals in the frequency pass band, the filter (36: 38) significantly reduces the signal loss between the plurality of outlets (16).
