Publication number: 20230307877Abstract: A connector includes a body having a central bore and a first grounding contact surface, a post disposed within the central bore and having an outwardly projecting flange configured to produce a first portion of a mating interface, and a conductive coupler. The post portion has a tubular sleeve configured to mechanically and electrically engage a prepared end of a coaxial cable. The conductive coupler has an engagement surface at a first end configured to mechanically and electrically engage an interface port, a lip at a second end configured to produce a second portion of the mating interface, and a second grounding contact surface opposing the first grounding contact surface. The first and second portions are configured to slide along the mating interface to rotate about an elongate axis of the connector. The connector includes a conductive ring disposed between the first and second grounding contact surfaces and configured to produce an electrical path between the body and the conductive coupler.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: PPC BROADBAND, INC.Inventors: Mary KRENCESKI, Roger MATHEWS, Noah P.

Patent number: 10965063Abstract: A grounding member for maintaining a ground path in a cable connector includes, in one embodiment, an inner core configured to flex when a force is applied to the grounding member during operation of the connector. The grounding member further includes an outer conductive coating applied to the inner core. The outer conductive coating is configured to flex from a first state to a second state when a force is applied to the grounding member, so as to maintain a conductive path through the connector when the outer conductive coating flexes between the first and second states during operation of the connector.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: PPC BROADBAND, INC.Inventors: Mary Krenceski, Roger Mathews, Noah P.
