Patent number: 7127806Abstract: A jumper coaxial cable assembly includes a jumper coaxial cable and at least one solder-type connector secured thereto. The cable may include an outer conductor, which, in turn, includes aluminum with a tin layer thereon. The tin layer permits an aluminum outer conductor to be used, yet facilitates soldering of the solder-type connector onto the outer conductor. The tin layer may be a tin alloy, such as a tin/lead alloy, for example. The outer conductor may have a continuous, non-braided, tubular shape, and the tin layer may extend continuously along an entire length of the outer conductor. The tin layer may be readily formed by tin plating during manufacturing of the jumper coaxial cable. The jumper coaxial cable assembly may be joined to a main coaxial cable and/or to electronic equipment.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2003Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Commscope Properties, LLCInventors: Larry W.

Patent number: 6217380Abstract: A connector is for joining together a first coaxial cable having a first diameter and a second coaxial cable having a second diameter smaller than the first diameter. The connector includes a hollow connector body for joining first and second back-nut assemblies together. The first back-nut assembly preferably comprises a threaded distal end, and outer conductor clamping portions for coupling to the outer conductor of the first coaxial cable. The second back-nut assembly is similarly connected to the second coaxial cable. The hollow connector body preferably includes opposing first and second threaded ends to be threadingly engaged in the respective distal threaded ends of the first and second back-nut assemblies, and an intermediate portion having a frusto-conical shape with a larger diameter portion adjacent the first end and a smaller diameter portion adjacent the second end. A center contact is preferably positioned within an opening of a dielectric spacer carried by the hollow connector body.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 1999Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignee: CommScope Inc. of North CarolinaInventors: Larry W.
