Abstract
An electrical connector (10) seatable in a hole (16) in a enclosure wall (14) and having an outer conductive shell (30) containing a dielectric sleeve (32) holding a seizure contact (34) at an inner end to compressively engage an inner conductor (18) of a coaxial cable entering the enclosure (12). During servicing of the enclosure (12), the (10) is matable at an opposed end with a connector (100) of a jumper cable to connect the jumper cable the to providing uninterrupted CATV service to customers.
Claims8
An electrical connector for a component box, the connector comprising:
- a conductive shell having a central bore;
- an insulative sleeve having a central bore of a first diameter at a proximal end thereof, the sleeve housed within the shell central bore;
- a contact extending proximally from within the proximal central bore of the sleeve, the contact having an abutment surface at its proximal-most end configured for perpendicular engagement with a coaxial cable conductor and a central cavity opening at a distal end thereof, the cavity situated coaxially with the shell central bore, the sleeve proximal bore and a sleeve distal bore of a second diameter that extends from the sleeve proximal bore to a distal end of the sleeve.
