Abstract:
Television power, antenna and data coupling apparatus including the substitution of a coaxial cable or metal clad fiberoptics cable for the standard grounded wire of a typical power cord, with the ground prong being configured to form the male component of a coaxial jack connector. Similarly, at least one of the ground plug receptacles (44, 60) of a dual or other multiple socket wall connector is modified to form a female coaxial connector (61) for receiving the male component of the jack connector. The inner metal and/or glass fiber conductors form the principal signal paths. Since the female component of the receptacle (60) is of the same internal diameter as the standard ground pin receptacle (44), the plugging of a standard three-prong plug into the modified receptacle provides power to the plug in the identical manner of the non-video/data receptacle.

Similarly, at least one of the ground plug receptacles of a dual or other multiple socket wall connector is modified to form a female coaxial connector for receiving the male component of the jack connector. The outer conductor of the coaxial jack connector and the outer conductor of the female receptacle connector are used to provide the standard ground connection for the plug and receptacle. The inner metal and/or glass fiber conductors form the principal signal paths. Since the female component of the receptacle is of the same internal diameter as the standard ground pin receptacle, the plugging of a standard three-prong plug into the modified receptacle provides power to the plug in the identical manner of the non-video/data receptacle.
Abstract:
A coaxial radio frequency (RF) isolator is disclosed. The isolator includes a first connector that conducts an RF signal received from a first device connected to the isolator. The isolator also includes a conductive body including a second connector and a conductive outer shield that form a first internal cavity. The isolator further includes a dielectric sleeve between the outer shield and the conductive body. In addition, the isolator includes a conductive coupling/filtering member inside the outer shield and the dielectric sleeve. The conductive coupling/filtering member has a cylindrical shape forming a second internal cavity. Moreover, the isolator includes a thru-RF signal transmission path through the first internal cavity and the second internal cavity. The thru-RF signal transmission path receives the RF signal from the first device, conditions the RF signal, and outputs the RF signal to a second device. Further, the isolator includes a coaxial coupling element in the first internal cavity and has a cylindrical shape.
Abstract:
A multiwire shielded cable (14) for a data network is for example pre-installed in the wall (45) of a building. The end of the cable (14) enters a housing part (66) and is coupled to a Western connector (10) or another connector having a similar design, whatever the connector system that will be later used. When the user-specific equipment is later installed, a modular housing (29) is inserted into the housing part (66). The modular housing (29) has an input tip jack compatible with the connector (10) and another tip jack on the side of the user which may be a jack of the Western type, an IBM data jack or a BNC jack (27). The connector (10) is provided with a metallic shield which directly contacts the shielding of the cable (14) and the metallic shield of the input tip jack, which in turn is electrically connected to the metallic modular housing (29). An easily adaptable data installation system is thus obtained, in which the area from the end of the cable to the user-specific tip jack (27) is very effectively protected against perturbing radiation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a coaxial cable extender comprising a first connector; a first cable, wherein the first connector is arranged to couple a first end of the first cable with an end of a second cable, the coaxial cable extender being mountable in an outlet box terminating the second cable; and the coaxial cable extender further comprising a male connector or a female connector coupled to a second end of the first cable.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to an innovative line of multiple function sockets by integrating a reduced dimensions radio television mechanism which incorporates a coaxial cable quick fixing system that allows an easy installation on the radio television mechanism, thus avoiding the tightening of screws and the use of tools. Besides this characteristic, the conception of the entry location of the coaxial cable allows it to be applied only with the core bared, being the fundamental contact with the mesh assured upon the insertion of the coaxial cable by a spike (16) in the interior of the entry lock cylinder (14) in the radio television mechanism. As for the assembly of the mechanism, this also integrates innovative solutions for the assembly of the frame of the radio television mechanism is achieved by the tightening of screws (11) which guarantee not only the correct accommodation of the components in its interior but also the contact of the printed circuit board (PCB) (7) with the entry contact plating (8) and the frame (10), thus avoiding welding points as it happens with the other existing systems.
