Abstract
A phone plug connector device having a preassembled phone plug and connector, wherein the phone plug includes a conductive tip and a stem, wherein the connector connects the phone plug to a coaxial cable, wherein the coaxial cable comprises a center conductor surrounded by a first dielectric, the first dielectric being surrounded by a first conductive sheath, and the first conductive sheath surrounded by a protective outer jacket, wherein the connector connects the coaxial cable to the phone plug mechanically and electrically by compression.
Claims17
A phone plug connector device for use with a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable including a center conductor, a first dielectric layer surrounding the center conductor, and a first conductive sheath coaxial with the center conductor and surrounding the first dielectric layer, the device comprising:
- a phone plug and a connector;
- wherein the connector comprises a first conductor and a second conductor that is electrically separate from the first conductor;
- wherein the phone plug comprises a first pin comprising a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact that is electrically separate from the first electrical contact;
- wherein the first pin is located, sized, and shaped to be removably inserted into a phone jack connector;
- wherein the first conductor of the connector is electrically connected to the first contact of the phone plug;
- wherein the second conductor of the connector is electrically connected to the second contact of the phone plug.
A phone plug connector for use with a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable including a center conductor, a first dielectric layer surrounding the center conductor, and a first conductive sheath coaxial with the center conductor and surrounding the first dielectric layer, the connector comprising:
- a phone plug having a first pin comprising a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact that is electrically separate from the first electrical contact;
- and
- a connector having a first conductor and a second conductor that is electrically separate from the first conductor;
- wherein the phone plug and the connector are attached to the coaxial cable in a single movement in one direction.
A method of mounting a phone plug connector device to a prepared end of a coaxial cable, the coaxial cable having a center conductor surrounded by at least a first dielectric, the at least first dielectric being surrounded by at least a first conductive sheath, and the at least first conductive sheath surrounded by a protective outer jacket, the method comprising:
- (a) providing a phone plug and a connector;
- wherein the connector comprises a first conductor and a second conductor that is electrically separate from the first conductor;
- wherein the phone plug comprises a first pin comprising a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact that is electrically separate from the first electrical contact;
- wherein the first pin is located, sized, and shaped to be removably inserted into a phone jack connector;
- wherein the first conductor of the connector is electrically connected to the first contact of the phone plug;
- wherein the second conductor of the connector is electrically connected to the second contact of the phone plug
- (b) fastening the connector onto the prepared end of a coaxial cable in a single axial movement, wherein the connector is irreversibly fastened to the coaxial cable.
