High frequency uninterruptible signal and power bypass with rocker mechanism

A multi-tap distribution box for connection to a main coaxial line carrying high frequency and alternating current power signals, the multi-tap distribution box comprising:

• a housing comprising a housing base and a cover,
• the housing base comprising first and second main-line coaxial cable ports,
• the cover comprising first and second single conductor cover connectors arranged to connect to first and second housing base single conductor connectors,
• the first and second housing base single conductor connectors connected to the first and second main-line coaxial cable ports, respectively, such that when the cover is installed on the housing base, the first and second main line coaxial able ports are electrically connected together,
• the housing further comprising a jumper conductor arranged to electrically connect the first and second main-line coaxial cable ports together when the cover is removed, such that a jumper conductor connection is made between the first and second main-line coaxial cable ports prior to either of the first or second housing base single conductor connecters disengaging from their respective first or second single conductor cover connectors,
• the jumper conductor being supported by a spring-loaded support bar, the spring-loaded support bar being connected by a pivot to a push bar, push bar being adapted to contact the cover or a component attached to the cover,
• such that when the cover is removed from the housing a jumper conductor connection is made by the jumper conductor between the first and second main-line coaxial cable ports prior to either of the first or second housing base single conductor connecters disengaging from their respective first or second single conductor cover connectors.
