Abstract
An adjustable at least four-way electrical connector for signal, power, voice and/or data communication, comprising at least four adjustable electrical connections utilizing a ball and socket type physical connection device and including a weatherproofing gasket; also an adjustable fiber optic connection device utilizing ball and socket type construction wherein an optical fiber can be split into a plurality of optical fibers via a connection device providing for rotation and pivoting.
Claims8
An adjustable at least four-way electrical connector for signal, voice, digital data and/or power, comprising:
- at least four electrical connections provided within a layered ball and socket connector device, the device providing for full rotation of an intermediate layer with respect to an inner layer and an outer layer about a first axis and providing for approximately up to 30 degrees of pivot of the intermediate layer with respect to the inner layer and outer layer about the first axis.
An adjustable fiber optic connection system, comprising:
- a ball and socket device, the device providing an inner layer fully rotatable within an outer layer and providing the inner layer pivotable up to approximately 30 degrees with respect the outer layer, and including a fiber optic path split into a plurality of paths as it passes through the ball and socket connecting device.
