Abstract
A coaxial cable splitter including an integral body with a first cable connection, a second cable connection and a third cable connection, each defining an axis. The second cable connection is a crimp sleeve, the first cable connection is a coaxial connector, and the axes are generally parallel to each other. The third cable connection is a coaxial cable connector and the axis is at an angle to the axes of the first and second cable connections. The first and third cable connections each include a center conductor which are electrically linked. The first and third cable connections each include an outer shell positioned about the center conductor which are electrically linked. A method of assembling a coaxial cable splitter with an integral body.
Claims6
A method of assembling a coaxial cable splitter comprising:
- providing an integral housing with a first cable connection, a second cable connection and a third cable connection, each of the cable connections defining an axis, and the axes of the first and second cable connections positioned generally parallel to each other;
- providing a center conductor for the first and third cable connections;
- inserting a coaxial cable having a center conductor through the second cable connection;
- compressing a crimp sleeve about the second cable connection and the coaxial cable to mechanically connect the coaxial cable to the housing;
- and
- electrically linking the first, second, and third cable connections.
