Abstract: A reel enclosure includes a base and a door pivotally coupled with the base. The door is movable between a first closed position and a second open position and is configured to hold a reel at an interior surface of the door. The reel is configured to have cable wound thereon. In the first closed position, the base is configured to prevent the reel from rotating relative to the door and the base, and, in the second open position, the door is configured to hold the reel outside of an interior of the base and permit the reel to rotate relative to the door and the base.

Abstract: An angled coaxial cable adapter may include a housing portion structurally configured to include a first RF signal wave receiving portion and a second RF signal wave receiving portion and a conductive portion structurally configured to pass an RF signal through the first RF signal wave receiving portion and the second RF signal wave receiving portion. The first RF signal wave receiving portion may be configured to be disposed at an angle relative to the second RF signal wave receiving portion, and the conductive portion may be structurally configured to include a bend. The RF signal wave blocking portion may be structurally configured to block the first RF signal wave and the second RF signal wave from interfering with one another so as to reduce potential noise when a signal changes direction at the bend of the conductive element such that the adapter can provide an enhanced RF signal.

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector including a body configured to be coupled with a prepared end of a coaxial cable, a post configured to engage the body and an outer conductor of the coaxial cable when the connector is installed on the coaxial cable, a nut rotatingly coupled to the post and having a forward end configured to be threadedly coupled with an interface port, and a sleeve surrounding the nut and extending forward from the nut in a direction opposite to the body. The sleeve has a forward portion that extends beyond the forward end of the nut by a length such that the sleeve is configured to contact an outer surface of the interface port before a center conductor of the coaxial cable contacts the interface port, and the sleeve is configured to align the connector with the port and to prevent the center conductor from contacting any portion of the interface port other than a center conductor contact portion of the interface port.

Abstract: A torque sleeve includes sleeve body configured to extend along an axis. The sleeve body is further configured to at least partially receive a coupling member of a coaxial cable connector. The sleeve body has an outer surface configured to permit a user to tighten the coupling member to an interface port up to a first torque, and the sleeve body includes a pair of opposed cutouts configured to receive a tightening tool so as to permit the tightening tool to grip the coupling member and tighten the coupling member to an interface port up to a second torque, the second torque being greater than the first torque.

Abstract: A cable reel may include a first reel portion configured to hold a bundle of cable, and a second reel portion configured to be coupled with the first reel portion and to retain the bundle of cable on the first reel portion. The second reel portion may include a first impact portion radially outward of a hub portion and a second impact portion radially outward of the first impact portion between the first impact portion and a perimeter wall of the flange portion. The second impact portion may include a radially outer wall that is configured to deflect radially inward to absorb an impact force impacting the perimeter wall at a location radially aligned with the second impact portion, and the first impact portion may include a radially outer wall that is configured to deflect radially inward to absorb an impact force impacting the perimeter wall at a location circumferentially spaced from the radially outer wall. The first and second impact portions may be configured to provide absorption of impact forces impinging on any point along the perimeter wall so as to provide 360° of breakage protection against impact forces impinging on the perimeter wall.

Abstract: A fiber optic cable includes an outer surface, an axial groove and an additional annular groove. The outer surface includes an annular groove. The axial groove that extends in an axial direction of the fiber optic cable. The additional annular groove is configured to separates sections of the outer surface. The axial groove is configured to be gripped by a connector to prevent rotation of the fiber optic cable relative to the connector. The separate sections are configured to hinge against each other such that the fiber optic cable is bendable to a predetermined bend radius.

Abstract: A tap adapter configured to removably couple a coaxial cable connector with a cable tap includes a body, a nut extending about the body, a retaining ring configured to couple the body with the nut, and a collet disposed in the body. The nut includes a first end configured to receive a coaxial cable connector. The collet has a first end configured to receive a center conductor of a cable terminated by the coaxial cable connector and a second end configured to be coupled with a port of a cable tap. The collet is configured to provide an electrical connection between the center conductor and the port of the cable tap. The nut is configured to rotate relative to the body and to slide axially relative to the body as limited by the retaining ring. The tap adapter permits the coaxial cable connector to be removed from the tap adapter while the tap adapter remains mechanically coupled with the cable tap and the second end of the collet remains mechanically and electrically coupled with the port.
