20110021070 | Coaxial Angle Connector and Related Method - A coaxial angle connector includes a pin having first and second ends, the first end being generally perpendicular to the second end. The pin is moveable from a first position to a second position in response to insertion of a coaxial cable into the connector and provides a positive visual indication of proper cable center conductor installation. The connector can also optionally include an coupling nut with a dual-grip surface. | 01-27-2011 |
20110097928 | Locking Ratcheting Torque Aid - A torque aid for a coaxial connector is provided. The torque aid has a tubular grip element and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism is moveable from a first position to a second position. When the locking mechanism is in the first position, rotation of the torque aid is inhibited in at least one direction. When the locking mechanism is in the second position, the torque aid is rotatable in either the clockwise or counterclockwise direction. | 04-28-2011 |
20110111623 | Integrally Conductive Locking Coaxial Connector - The coaxial connector has a coupling nut, a post, a hollow body, and a ring that prevents interfaces from gapping and provide a robust alternative ground path that also RF shields the connector from both ingress and egress. The ring is biased radially outward to engage the coupling nut, thereby biasing the coupling nut in a rearward direction and, at the same time, biasing the post in a forward direction to engage a terminal. | 05-12-2011 |
20110117776 | Integrally Conductive And Shielded Coaxial Cable Connector - The coaxial cable connector has a coupler, a post, and a ring that prevent interfaces from gapping and provide a robust alternative ground path that also RF shields the connector from both ingress and egress. The ring is disposed in between and engages at least a portion of a groove in the body and at least a portion of the channel in the coupler, radial movement of the coupler causes the axial movement of the body relative to the terminal. | 05-19-2011 |
20110250789 | Coaxial Connector With Inhibited Ingress and Improved Grounding - A coaxial connector includes a body, a post, a coupling nut, and a sealing member. The sealing member is axially compressed between a rear end facing surface of the coupling nut and a front end facing surface of the hollow body in order to facilitate improved grounding and RF shielding characteristics. | 10-13-2011 |
20110318958 | COAXIAL CONNECTOR WITH DUAL-GRIP NUT - A connector for coaxial cable includes a dual-grip nut having a first external gripping surface and a second external gripping surface. The smallest outer diameter of the first external gripping surface is less than the smallest outer diameter of the second external gripping surface. | 12-29-2011 |
20120108098 | PUSH-ON CABLE CONNECTOR WITH A COUPLER AND RETENTION AND RELEASE MECHANISM - A cable connector comprising a coupler and a retainer having a base with an internal channel and a latching assembly is disclosed. The coupler has a first end, a second end, and a bore extending therethrough. The latching assembly comprises a beam having a first end and a second end. The latching assembly pivotably connects to the base and has a plurality of teeth extending radially inwardly through a latch slot towards the bore of the coupler. A spring clip radially inwardly biases the coupler. The coupler has at least one compression slot that responds to the radially inwardly bias of the coupler, compressing the coupler radially inwardly and, thereby, providing a resiliently friction fit function to the coupler. | 05-03-2012 |
20140106613 | COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRAL RFI PROTECTION - A coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal is disclosed. The connector has a coupler adapted to couple the connector to a terminal, a body assembled with the coupler and a post assembled with the coupler and the body. The post is adapted to receive an end of a coaxial cable. The post has an integral contacting portion that is monolithic with at least a portion of the post. When assembled the coupler and post provide at least one circuitous path resulting in RF shielding such that RF signals external to the coaxial cable connector are attenuated, such that the integrity of an electrical signal transmitted through coaxial cable connector is maintained regardless of the tightness of the coupling of the connector to the terminal. | 04-17-2014 |
20140235099 | COAXIAL CABLE CONTINUITY CONNECTOR - A coaxial connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to an equipment appliance port or terminal is disclosed.
