Abstract
An adaptor is provided for facilitating testing a coaxial cable connector assembly in the field with a test connector, wherein the coaxial cable connector assembly has a projecting pin of a selected length. The adaptor comprises a tubular member having a first end and a second end. The first end receives the coaxial cable connector assembly and the second end is for mounting the test connector. The first and second ends are joined by a bore which extends from the first end to the second end with the bore having a length at least as long as the pin.

A field connector adaptor comprising:
- a tubular member comprising a first end and a second end and having a preselected length,
- the first end comprising a coupling for securing the tubular member to a coaxial cable connector assembly having a pin extending therefrom,
- the second end having a predetermined outside diameter wherein the second end is adapted for insertion into a test connector,
- the length of the tubular member being preselected wherein the pin extending from the coaxial cable connector assembly extends through substantially the entire length of the tubular member when the tubular member is secured to the coaxial cable connector assembly,
- whereby a coaxial cable may be tested using a test connector without having to trim or remove the pin from the coaxial cable connector assembly.
