Sealed tamper resistant terminator

A tamper resistant coaxial terminator for securing and terminating a coaxial equipment port of an equipment box, the coaxial equipment port being of the type having a female center conductor adapted to receive a center conductor of a coaxial connector, the coaxial equipment port also being of the type including an externally-threaded outer conductor surrounding the female center conductor and spaced apart therefrom by a dielectric, the tamper resistant coaxial terminator comprising in combination:

• a. an inner body having first and second ends, the first end of the inner body having a central bore including an internally threaded region to threadedly engage the outer conductor of the coaxial equipment port through rotation of the inner body relative to coaxial equipment port, the second end of the inner body including a surface for receiving a tool used to rotate the inner body, the inner body including a radially deformable region having an outwardly projecting annular rib;
• b. an outer shield having a central bore defined by any internal annular wall, the internal annular wall having an annular recess formed therein generally proximate to the first end of the outer shield and surrounding the inner body, the outer shield having a first end disposed around the first end of the inner body for restricting access thereto, the outer shield including a second opposing end having a bore formed therein for allowing insertion of said tool to rotate the inner body;
• and
• c. wherein the outwardly projecting annular rib of the inner body extends into the annular recess formed in the internal annular wall of the outer shield to rotatably secure the inner body within the outer shield.
