Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a cable connecting device for fixing power cables and for producing an electrical connection between power cables. A bush having at least two cylindrical cavities, into which in each case a contact-making element can be inserted, has a contact sleeve serving to accommodate one end of a power cable. The bush also maintains contact-making bands on its outer side and has a locking device which, after the contact sleeve has been inserted into the cavity, secures the contact sleeve in its place. The power cable can be electrically conductively connected to the contact sleeve and clamped in the latter by means of at least two screws on the outer side, which can be screwed into the circumferential wall of the contact sleeve. The screws are distributed over the outer circumference of the contact sleeve in such a way that they can be screwed onto the power cable at different angles.
Abstract:
A cable connector having a body, a connection means, and a support member. A cable or wire runs through the body and to the connection means. The connection means allows the cable connector to removably engage a device designed to accept a cable. The support member provides lateral support to the cable. The support member prevents excessive forces from reaching a device to which the cable connector is attached by resisting or absorbing, rather than transmitting, such forces.
Abstract:
In a coaxial cable TV connector, a universal crimping ring assembly is made up of axially offset crimping members arranged in telescoping relation to one another and to a crimpable sleeve into which the coaxial cable is inserted, and the crimping rings are preassembled onto the sleeve and have at least one tapered surface portion between them so that when the crimping rings are axially advanced over the outer sleeve will cause inward radial deformation of the outer sleeve into sealed engagement with an external surface of the cable.
Abstract:
A cable connector is provided for allowing a plurality of varying diameter cables to be coupled to the cable connector via a locking sleeve. The cable connector includes a connector body and a post coupled to the connector body at a secured end that includes a receiving end axially opposite the secured end. The post has an annular lip integrally formed at the receiving end. The cable connector also includes a generally hollow, rigid sleeve adapted to receive the plurality of varying diameter cables therein. The sleeve has an unlocked position and a locked position wherein it is at least partially disposed within the connector body. A forward end is releasably coupled to the connector body and a rearward end is adapted to receive the cable therein. A protrusion is integrally formed within the sleeve and has a leading edge and a trailing edge such that when the cable is inserted into the sleeve and the sleeve is transitioned from the unlocked position to the locked position, at least part of the cable is compressed between the lip of the post and the protrusion. When the sleeve is in the locked position at least part of the cable is forced away from the post toward the sleeve at the lip, and forced away from the sleeve toward the post at the protrusion, crimping of the cable.
Abstract:
A cable-connector system advantageously used with flexible, relatively small diameter coaxial cable and connectors, including a coaxial cable with a foam dielectric surrounding an inner conductor; and a tubular outer conductor surrounding the foam dielectric, the outer conductor being composed of aluminum or aluminum alloy and having helical corrugations; and a connector, having: a connector body having a hollow bore with internal perturbations keyed to the helical corrugations and arranged to retentively receive and secure the connector on the cable when the connector is screwed onto the cable with the corrugations engaging the perturbations; the connector body having a crimp section adapted to be compressed by a connector crimping tool; the crimp section configured such that when crimped, the crimp section deforms inwardly and distorts the cable outer conductor corrugations to prevent relative rotation between the cable and the connector body and interlock the connector and cable.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a connector for a coaxial cable which includes a center terminal with an end portion for connection to the inner conductor of the cable, the end portion having an annular contact surface longitudinally extending over a predefined distance and protruding radially inwardly from an inner circumferential surface to establish electrical and mechanical contact between the center terminal and the inner conductor of the coaxial cable. The dielectric structures in the connector are advantageously made from a material having a dielectric constant less than 3.5.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a shielded plug-in connector (1), provided with a shield housing (2), on which a cylindrical crimp sleeve (3) is formed. A substantially cylindrical moulded part (4) has partial cylindrical longitudinal grooves (5), into which the exposed shield jackets (7) of coaxial conductors (6) can be inserted. The moulded part (4) can be introduced, together with the coaxial conductors (6) into the crimp sleeve (3). The latter is compressed using a serrated crimping tool, whereby the moulded part (4) is deformed in such a way that the longitudinal grooves (5) contract and the shield jackets (7) are tightly encompassed.
Abstract:
An F connector for mounting to the prepared end of a coaxial cable by compression of portions of the connector into tight frictional engagement with the cable. The body and compression ring of the usual F connector are incorporated in a unitary, one-piece body having three axial sections. The first section surrounds and frictionally engages the outer surface of the post stem in the usual manner. The second section is spaced from the stem to provide an annular space for the shielding and outer dielectric layers of the cable, also in the usual manner. A third section of the body is joined to the second section by an area of reduced thickness. In a first disclosed embodiment, the body fractures at the area of reduced thickness in response to an axial force applied to the third section in the direction of the second section. The wall thickness of the third section tapers outwardly from the area of reduced thickness, whereby movement of the third section between the inner surface of the second section and the outer surface of the cable by the axial force subsequent to fracture applies a radially compressive force to the cable and provides the desired tight frictional engagement of the connector and cable. In a second embodiment, the third section includes two, axially spaced areas of reduced thickness. The portions of the third section adjacent these reduced thickness areas are folded into the area between the second section and the cable as the axial force is applied, rather than being fractured.
Abstract:
An F-type connector for mounting to a prepared terminal end of a coaxial cable for threaded engagement of a nut on the connector to a threaded shaft at a port on video equipment to which the coaxial cable is to be electrically connected. Prior art connectors of this type typically required as many as six or more revolutions of the nut to bring a metal post of the connector into contact with the end of the metal shaft to provide a properly shielded coupling of the connector and video equipment. In the connector of the present invention, the nut is mounted for limited axial movement with respect to the post, body and compression ring. A coil spring biases the nut toward a rest position with respect to the other elements wherein not more than three revolutions of the nut into engagement with the shaft are necessary in order to bring the post of the connector into contact with the shaft on the equipment, providing a satisfactory coupling. Upon further revolution of the nut, the post and shaft remain in contact as the nut moves axially away from the rest position with respect to the other elements. The connector is disclosed in two embodiments, one of which permits mounting upon a cable having a terminal end prepped, i.e., with certain layers severed and stripped to predetermined lengths, to present industry standards.
