Abstract: A fiber optic cable assembly includes a fiber optic cable and a fiber optic connector. The fiber optic cable has an outer surface that includes a plurality of annular grooves spaced apart from one another in an axial direction of the fiber optic cable, and a plurality of axial grooves that extend in the axial direction. The plurality of axial grooves being spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the fiber optic cable, the plurality of axial grooves are configured to divide the outer surface in a circumferential direction of the linear member into separate section, the separate sections are configured to hinge against each other such that the linear member is bendable to a predetermined bend radius, the fiber optic connector includes an axial ridge configured to be received by one of the plurality of axial grooves, and cooperative engagement between the axial ridge of the fiber optic connector and the one of the plurality of axial grooves of the fiber optic cable prevents rotation of the fiber optic cable relative to the fiber optic connector.

Abstract: An ethernet bridge mounting arrangement includes a housing including a cover portion and a back portion and a wall mount. The housing is configured to be coupled with the wall mount, and the housing is rotatable relative to the wall mount about an axis that extends in a direction perpendicular to a rear surface of the housing between a first rotational orientation, where latching members extending from the housing can be received by and removed from latch openings in the wall mount, and a second rotational orientation, where the housing is prevented from being pulled away from the wall plate.

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 cable system component includes a housing having a seal-grasping surface portion and a seal having an elastically deformable tubular body attached to the housing. The body has a posterior sealing surface that cooperatively engages the seal-grasping surface portion of the housing and a forward sealing surface configured to cooperatively engage an interface port. The forward sealing surface includes a radially inner facet divided into a forward portion and a rearward portion by an inner annular groove in the inner facet. The seal includes an anterior portion and a posterior portion connected by a thinned neck portion, the forward portion of the radially inner facet is on the anterior portion, and the rearward portion of the radially inner facet is on the posterior portion. The rearward portion of the radially inner facet includes a sealing edge surface that is configured to cooperate with an outer surface of the interface port in order to provide a sealed connection between the connector and the port when the anterior portion is removed from the seal. The inner annular groove is radially aligned with the neck portion and is configured to keep the neck portion away from the sealing edge of the rearward portion of the radially inner facet when the anterior portion is removed from the seal.

Abstract: A connector includes a body having a cable receiving end configured to receive the end of the coaxial cable, a coupler configured to be coupled with and to rotate relative to the body, and a compression ring including a forward sleeve portion and a rearward outer ring portion attached to one another by a plurality of tabs. The forward sleeve portion is configured to be coupled to the cable receiving end of the body, and the plurality of tabs are configured to shear so as to separate the rearward outer ring portion from the forward sleeve portion when a torque for rotating the compression ring relative to the body exceeds a desired torque. The rearward outer ring includes an inner opening when separated from the forward sleeve portion, the separated rearward outer ring is configured to be slidingly moved relative to the body and the coupler, and the inner opening is configured to fit over the coupler such that the rearward outer ring is configured to be a torque assist member.

Abstract: A connector is provided for attachment to a coaxial cable. The connector includes, in one embodiment, a body and a compression ring. The body has a cable receiving end being configured to receive the end of the coaxial cable. The compression ring includes a forward sleeve portion and a rearward outer ring portion attached to one another by a plurality of tabs. The forward sleeve portion is configured to couple to the cable receiving end of the body. The plurality of tabs are configured to shear so as to separate the rearward outer ring portion from the forward sleeve portion when a torque for rotating the compression ring relative to the body exceeds a desired torque.
