    摘要: An F-male port includes a nut with internal threads that are configured to provide a mechanical fit and lock of the F-male port with an F-female port. The F-male port further includes a mating interface having an insert with an angled surface, wherein the mating interface is adaptable to differentials in surfaces of mated F-female ports. The F-male port also includes a nut retainer configured to hold the nut in place, wherein when the nut is torqued down, force is applied to the nut retainer and the nut retainer pulls the front of the insert with it to create a mechanical contact between the F-female port and the insert.

    摘要: A coaxial cable connector includes a body configured to be coupled with a coaxial cable, a nut 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.

    摘要: A handheld tool for straightening a cable includes a straightening portion disposed in a housing portion. The straightening portion is configured to define a straightening path that extends in a longitudinal direction through the housing portion, and the straightening portion is structurally configured to engage a fiber cable that extends along the straightening path. The straightening portion is configured to spin freely relative to the housing portion such that the straightening portion is structurally configured to straighten a fiber cable that engages the straightening portion as the fiber cable is moved through the housing in the longitudinal direction. The housing portion is structurally configured to permit access to the straightening path from a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction in order to enhance placement of the fiber cable in the straightening path.

    摘要: A seal assembly for a port of an enclosure may include a first body portion that may include a sealing member, and a second body portion structurally configured to include an engagement portion. The sealing member may include a receiving portion that is structurally configured to receive a terminated cable, and the engagement portion may be structurally configured to urge a closing portion of the sealing member against the terminated cable to form a liquid-tight seal around the terminated cable when the first portion and the second portion are coupled together in a closed position. The first and second body portions may be structurally configured to move relative to one another between an open position and the closed position such that the seal arrangement is structurally configured to permit a cable terminated with a connector to be inserted into and/or removed from the sealing member and the port with the connector attached to the cable when the first and second body structure segments are in the open position.
