  • Patent number: 6618945
    Abstract: A tool for stripping a microcoaxial cable having an outside diameter of four millimeters or less. The tool is operable for precisely stripping the jacket, shield and dielectric layers of the microcoaxial cable under field conditions. The tool comprises a fixed gripping portion that holds and supports the cable both proximal and distal to the portion to be stripped. A blade portion rotatably mounted to the fixed gripping portion has a double action. When the blade portion is depressed, a plurality of blades mounted thereon cuts into the microcoaxial cable to precise and adjustable depths. A 360° rotation of the blade portion relative to the fixed gripping portion cleanly severs the respective layers of the cable. The respective severed layers of the cable are removed by hand to expose the underlying layer and the central conductor thereby providing a stripped portion of microcoaxial cable to which a microcoaxial cable connector can be attached.

  • Patent number: 6361364
    Abstract: The invention describes a method of electrically and mechanically connecting the center conductor of a micro-coaxial RF cable to a coaxial cable connector or bulkhead without the use of traditional soldering or precision tools. The device is essentially a solderless, crimpless connector. The invention allows a cable installer to connect a micro-coaxial cable having a central conductor as small #30 AWG (0.25 mm) to a coaxial cable connector under field conditions. The invention employs a two-stage, spring loaded center pin holding device and a method for using the device to facilitate easy field installation while maintaining mechanical and electrical reliability.

  • Patent number: 6276970
    Abstract: A flat F-port coaxial electrical connector disclosed herein comprises a connector body and a terminal structure. The connector body has an annular stopper protrusion which is able to engage with a second insulation adapter by inlaying into the outer surface of the second insulation adapter so that the terminal of the conductor body is formed into a flat surface. With this structure, when the electrical connector of the present invention is engaged with a F-type male connector, the mating surface can be maintained in smooth and flat finished state thereby preventing electromagnetic signal leakage.

  • Patent number: 6272738
    Abstract: Hand operated press for installing cable connectors basically includes two handle bars; a receptacle; and a nose, wherein each handle bar has a grip at its lower end and compression part at its upper end. The receptacle and the base are fixed to receptacle compression parts, and a terminator and an adapter are set on the receptacle and the base. When a compressive force is applied between two grips, both receptacle and base move inward simultaneously so as to engage the adapter and the terminator in one piece. Moreover, the receptacle and the base are replaceable with various sized ones to meet the requirement of compressing terminators of different sizes.

  • Patent number: 6234838
    Abstract: An improved structure for a coaxial cable connector is disclosed. The surface consists of a connector body, an axle collar, a stem disposed co-axially within the axle collar, and a nut disposed rotatably around the stem. The nut includes an annular end and a hexagonal body. The annular end has a threaded bore hole which is used for accepting a threaded interface connector. An annular groove is formed along the inner surface of the threaded bore hole; while another annular groove is formed around the outer surface of the threaded interface connector, both for filling a sealing element thereinto thereby providing a 360 degrees annular moisture proof hermetic structure between the interface connector and the nut.

  • Patent number: 6159046
    Abstract: A guide tube utilized as an assisting component when coupling an end connector to a coaxial cable. Having a passage formed through its body, the guide tube is inserted into the tubular body of the connector. As such, when installation personnel insert coaxial cable into the connector, the center conductor of the coaxial cable contacts a conical-shaped section inside the guide tube and, at the same time, the guide tube is moved forward. Due to the design of the conical-shaped section of the guide tube, the center conductor of the coaxial cable is guided into the connector in a perfectly straight state.

  • Patent number: 5975949
    Abstract: A coaxial cable end connector for connecting a cable to a terminal has inner and outer spaced concentric sleeves, the outer sleeve provided with sealing rings which are formed out of the thickness of the outer sleeve along a crimping zone of the sleeve to minimize the crimping force required to crimp the outer sleeve by inward radial deformation into sealing engagement with the cable. Preferably, the wall thickness of at least a portion of the outer sleeve is reduced in order to further reduce the crimping force required to deform the sleeve into sealing engagement with the cable. In certain applications, an external annular seal is interposed between confronting surface portions of one of the inner and outer sleeves and a coupling member which makes up onto the terminal in sealing against moisture infiltration.

  • Patent number: 5863226
    Abstract: A connector for coaxial cable, including a main body formed with an inner passage in which a pair of insulative sleeves are fitted. Each insulative sleeve is disposed with a small diameter section. A tubular contact member is fitted between the small diameter sections of the two insulative sleeves. The contact member is made of a sheet material by means of curling. Two ends of the contact member are not adjoined together so as to define a narrow slit. An opposite side of the slit is also formed with two slits which are not adjacent to each other so that when a core with 1.2 to 1.3 mm diameter is inserted into the contact member, the contact member is stretched open to achieve greater resilience.

  • Patent number: 5667409
    Abstract: An improved structure for the connector of a coaxial cable ensures that there are multiple contact points between the contact component and the central wire of the coaxial cable. The connector has holes on the top and bottom of the two ends of the contact component. The material of the holes is punched inward but is not removed from the tube forming the contact component such that a pair of inclined planes extend toward the interior of each end of the tube. One pair of insulation components which slip on the inside of the connector body join with one end of the contact component to fix and to support the contact component in order to increase the quality of transmission. The connector can be used in a specific range of central wire for cable that allows larger current flows, therefore being suitable for use in a combination of TV and telephone as well as with the current cable TV system.

  • Patent number: 5498175
    Abstract: A coaxial cable connector including a main body containing a contact member and two insulating members fitted with the contact member, with each insulating member composed of an insulating sleeve, a resilient member and an insulating cap. The stretching ability of a cable conductor inserted into the contact portion of the contact member is limited by the resilient member and an extra resilient compressing force is exerted on the contact surface to provide improved contacting effect with coaxial cables having conductors of different diameters.
