Abstract
A device useful in the field of digital telecommunications, particularly for on-site mounting of a connector on a coaxial cable which has a portable clip (10) adaptable to the diameter of the coaxial cable in order to immobilize the cable. The clip includes a base with a first edge, an opposed second edge and a reference plane formed therebetween. The reference plane supports the coaxial cable and includes a groove formed therein adapted to receive a ferrule of a connector.
Claims9
A coaxial cable fitting device for the on-site fitting of a connector onto a coaxial cable, wherein the connector includes a core and a ferrule, the fitting device comprising:
- a base including a first edge, an opposed second edge, and a base surface formed therebetween, wherein the base surface supports the coaxial cable, a groove formed in the base surface supports the ferrule and at least one knurled screw passes through at least one bore formed in the second edge
- a clamping block coupled to the first edge, wherein a first channel and a second channel are each formed transversely in a first edge surface of the first edge and in an opposed clamping block surface of the clamping block, a first cross-section of the first channel and a second cross-section of the second channel are each adapted to a diameter of the cable, and a first axis corresponding to a channel length of the first channel and the second channel is parallel to a second axis corresponding to a screw length of the at least one knurled screw;
- and
- a clamping screw extending vertically through the clamping block and into the first edge to immobilize the coaxial cable.
A coaxial cable fitting device for the on-site fitting of a connector onto a coaxial cable, wherein the connector includes a core and a ferrule, the fitting device comprising:
- a base including a first edge, an opposed second edge, and a base surface formed therebetween, wherein the base surface supports the coaxial cable, at least one knurled screw passes through at least one bore formed in the second edge, and a groove formed in the base surface and supporting the ferrule includes a raised lip that restricts lateral movement of the ferrule towards the second edge;
- a clamping block coupled to the first edge, wherein a first channel and a second channel are each formed transversely in a first edge surface of the first edge and in an opposed clamping block surface of the clamping block, a first cross-section of the first channel and a second cross-section of the second channel are each adapted to a diameter of the cable, and a first axis corresponding to a channel length of the first channel and the second channel is parallel to a second axis corresponding to a screw length of the at least one knurled screw;
