    Abstract: A coaxial cable includes: an center conductor; a dielectric insulator configured to coaxially surround the center conductor; an inner conductive foil layer configured to coaxially surround the dielectric; a braided shield layer configured to coaxially surround the inner conductive foil layer; and an outer jacket configured to coaxially surround the outer conductive foil layer. The outer conductive foil layer is bonded to the outer jacket; the outer conductive foil layer includes a first lateral region, a second lateral region and a sealant; the first lateral region and the second lateral region portions are configured to overlap each other; the sealant is configured to be disposed between the first lateral region and the second lateral region to form a sealed joint; and the outer conductive foil layer and the sealed joint are configured to prevent moisture that enters the outer jacket from passing the outer conductive foil layer and migrating along the coaxial cable so as to prevent signal loss or damage to a connector that terminates the coaxial cable.

    Abstract: A cable includes a core having a length, a jacket coaxially surrounding the core along the length, and a non-flowing floodant between the core and the jacket. The non-flowing floodant is disposed circumferentially and in a segmented manner such that the coaxial drop cable is configured to include a plurality of first areas, separated from one another along the length, that include the non-flowing floodant, and second areas, separated from one another along the length by a respective one of the first areas, having a space between the jacket and the core without the non-flowing floodant. The non-flowing floodant is configured to circumferentially seal a space between the core and the jacket at the plurality of first areas. Two consecutive ones of the plurality of first areas are configured to contain moisture in the second area between the two consecutive ones of the plurality of first areas.

    Abstract: A moisture detector detects moisture in a coaxial cable. The moisture detector may include a moisture detection portion disposed in at least a portion of a cavity portion and configured to engage a cable moisture alert portion that is configured to generate a cable moisture alert when moisture is present in the cavity portion, and wherein the moisture detection portion is configured to generate a moisture detected signal when moisture is present in the cavity portion and cause the cable moisture alert portion to generate the cable moisture alert that moisture is present in the coaxial cable when moisture is present in the cavity portion.

    Abstract: An assembly for covering at least a portion of a connector portion and at least a portion of a cable includes: a temperature sensitive portion; and a cord portion. The temperature sensitive portion is configured to have a pre-shrink length prior to being heated and a post-shrink length after being heated; wherein the post-shrink length is smaller than the pre-shrink length; the cord portion is configured to have a length after the temperature sensitive portion is heated that is greater than the post-shrink length of the temperature sensitive portion; and a difference between the post-shrink length of the temperature sensitive portion and the length of the cord portion after the heating permits a user to remove the temperature sensitive portion from a connector portion and a cable without using a sharp tool and thereby avoid cutting the connector portion or the cable when removing the temperature sensitive portion.

    Abstract: A connector includes a body having a central bore and a first grounding contact surface, a post disposed within the central bore and having an outwardly projecting flange configured to produce a first portion of a mating interface, and a conductive coupler. The post portion has a tubular sleeve configured to mechanically and electrically engage a prepared end of a coaxial cable. The conductive coupler has an engagement surface at a first end configured to mechanically and electrically engage an interface port, a lip at a second end configured to produce a second portion of the mating interface, and a second grounding contact surface opposing the first grounding contact surface. The first and second portions are configured to slide along the mating interface to rotate about an elongate axis of the connector. The connector includes a conductive ring disposed between the first and second grounding contact surfaces and configured to produce an electrical path between the body and the conductive coupler.
