摘要:
A novel, reliable, moisture migration preventing cable connector for non-standard port attachment is provided. Such a connector device includes a deformable sealing element that is clear of mating port threads during connector attachment to a cable port, but that deforms upon actuation of a mated thread device rotated around the connector subsequent to cable port attachment. Such deformation allows for the sealing element to enter the open areas of the mated threads thereby preventing the migration of moisture into the cable connector, protecting not only the connector threads, but also the mating port, as well as the internal dielectric and center conductor of the cable itself. A method of providing a signal connection and transfer in a cable system is also encompassed within this invention.
摘要:
A cable connection assembly comprising a moisture migration prevention component located entirely within a nut component, and a threaded actuator integrated entirely within the nut component of said assembly, wherein upon attachment of the nut component onto a threaded port, the threaded actuator engages the threaded port, wherein upon an initial actuation of the nut component, the threaded actuator axially advances to a partially engaged position and axially advances the moisture migration prevention component, wherein continued actuation of the nut component further axially advances the threaded actuator to a fully engaged position and compresses the moisture migration prevention component to exhibit moisture migration prevention at a location external to a plurality of threads of the threaded port engaged within said connection assembly is provided. An associated method is also provided.

摘要:
A coaxial cable connector for connecting a coaxial cable to an interface port and extending an RF shield therebetween is provided. The connector includes a connector body having a first end and a second end, a post, attached to the connector body, a threaded nut, rotatable with respect to the post and also axially movable with respect to the connector body between a first position and a second position, a biasing member, operable to move the nut, and a joint stop element, located to interact with the biasing member and introduce obstructive structure that impedes axial movement of the nut.
