Patent number: 7744392Abstract: A coaxial switching jack with a pair of coaxial assemblies mounted within a housing having a pair of front cable connection locations is disclosed. The coaxial assemblies each include a center conductor and an outer shield conductor. The center conductors are connected by a first spring and the shell conductors are connected by a second spring. Insertion of a coaxial cable connector within one of the front cable connection locations deflects the springs from the corresponding coaxial assembly and disconnects the center and shell conductors of the two assemblies. The jack may also be configured to provide an electrical connection between the center and shell conductors of the second coaxial assembly if a coaxial cable connector is inserted within the first coaxial assembly. The connection between the center and shell conductors of the second coaxial assembly may be through a resistor assembly allowing for selection of a desired electrical impedance.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: M'hamed Anis Khemakhem, Cyle Petersen

Patent number: 7480991Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of mounting a triaxial connector to a cable using a radially deformable collet including an inner wall, an outer wall, a first end and a second end, the ends separated by a width. Slots from the inner wall to the outer wall extend from the first end toward the second end partially across the width and slots from the inner wall to the outer wall extend from the second end toward the first end partially across the width, the number of slots from the first end being equal to the number of the slots from the second end. The inner wall defines a diameter sized to receive a transmission line cable and includes ridges extending from the first end to the second end. The outer wall defines a diameter tapering in a single direction from the first end to the second end, the outer diameter being greater at the first end than at the second end.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2006Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: M'Hamed Anis Khemakhem, Jim Kerekes, Michael John Shorter
