Patent number: 8137133Abstract: A coaxial cable connector comprising a connector body, a tubular inner post configured to receive a coaxial cable and a clamping member, whereby at least one surface of the coaxial cable connector is coated with microcapsules creating an adhesive material. An adhesive layer is pre-applied to defined components of the coaxial cable connector in their pre-assembled configuration to avoid increased labor for the connector installer and to ensure a minimal but uniform layer of the microencapsulated adhesive is present on the desired connector components. When the coaxial cable is inserted into and clamped within the coaxial cable connector, the microcapsules are ruptured by the resulting pressure. This results in an adhesive bond forming between the coaxial cable and the connector to create a secure, mechanical bond and moisture seal.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc.Inventor: Stephen P. Malak

Patent number: 7484993Abstract: An ethernet cable connector for coupling an ethernet cable and providing contact between insulated wires of the ethernet cable and insulation displacement contacts within the connector. The connector includes an inner body having a clamp, a plurality of holes and a plurality of recesses transverse to the plurality of holes. Each hole receives a wire of an ethernet cable. The outer body is operatively coupled to the inner body and is configured to couple insulation displacement contacts within the outer body. The insertion of the inner body within the outer body bends the wires of the ethernet cable to rest within the plurality of recesses of the inner body, engages the insulation displacement contacts with the ethernet wires and compresses the clamp around a portion of the ethernet cable, thereby providing strain reduction to the ethernet wires.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: John Mezzalingua Associates, Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Amidon, Stephen P Malak
