Claims15
A tap bypass for maintaining signal conductivity between two signal lines when a front side cover of a tap assembly is removed, said tap bypass comprising:
- a first stinger connection member, said first member comprising a first stinger insert, said first stinger insert comprising a notch for laterally receiving a first stinger of a first signal line;
- and
- a second stinger connection member, said second member comprising a second stinger insert, said second stinger insert comprising a notch for laterally receiving a second stinger of a second signal line, said first member and said second member being communicatively coupled to allow signal to flow between said first signal line and said second signal line.
A method of manufacturing a tap bypass, said method comprising:
- fabricating a first stinger connection member comprising a first stinger insert, said first stinger insert having a notch for laterally receiving a first stinger of a first signal line, and a first housing;
- fabricating a second stinger connection member comprising a second stinger insert, said second stinger insert having a notch for laterally receiving a second stinger of a second signal line, and a second housing;
- said first member and said second member being communicatively coupled to allow signal to flow between said first signal line and said second signal line.
