摘要： A coaxial cable connector includes a nut housing having a rearward cable receiving end and a forward end opposite said rearward end, a front nut assembly coupled to the forward end of the nut housing, and a conductive metal tubular insert shaft supported within the nut housing or the front nut assembly. The front nut assembly includes an entry body housing and a conductive terminal pin extending from a forward end of the front nut assembly, and the conductive metal tubular insert shaft has a rearward end portion. A nonconductive plastic tubular support sleeve has a forward end portion coupled with the rearward end portion of the conductive metal tubular insert shaft, a tubular gripping ferrule radially surrounds the metal insert shaft and the plastic support sleeve, and a tubular outer sleeve radially surrounds at least a portion of said gripping ferrule. The gripping ferrule and the tubular outer sleeve are configured to be moved relative to one another in an axial direction such that the gripping ferrule and the tubular outer sleeve are configured to engage one another, thereby causing the gripping ferrule to radially compress around the conductive metal tubular insert shaft and the nonconductive plastic tubular support sleeve.

摘要： A connector includes a first connector body and a second connector body configured to be coupled to one another. The first connector body has a through hole and a cavity. The through hole and the cavity are configured to receive an aluminum shield of a hardline coaxial cable. A first washer is disposed in the first connector body and is configured to permit the aluminum shield to be pushed in a first direction through the through hole and into the cavity while resisting movement of the aluminum shield in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The second connector body has a through hole and a cavity. The through hole and the cavity of the second connector body are configured to receive a tubular member. A second washer is disposed in the second connector body and is configured to permit the tubular member to be pushed in the second direction through the through hole of the second connector body and into the cavity of the second connector body while resisting movement of the tubular member in the first direction.

摘要： An electrical continuity apparatus for a coaxial cable interface port including an interface port, a cable connector, and a resilient member. The interface port includes a first end having a threaded outer surface, and the cable connector includes a coupler having a threaded inner surface. The coupler is configured to rotatably couple the threaded inner surface with the threaded outer surface of the first end of the interface port. The resilient member is arranged between the interface port and the cable connector and urges threads of the threaded inner surface of the coupler into engagement with threads of the threaded outer surface of the interface port to provide electrical continuity between the coupler and the threaded outer surface of interface port even when coupler is loosely tightened to the interface port.
