Connector including media converter

A kit for a connector comprising:

• a front connector outer body adapted to be selectively detachably mounted to an endcap of the connector;
• a front shell assembly including a front shell, a first center conductor, and a first center conductor insulator;
• a first outer insulator;
• and
• a converter assembly including a housing defining a first end and a second end, the housing including a conductive outer portion configured to be fastened to the front connector outer body and the endcap, the converter assembly defining a coaxial interface at the first end of the housing, the coaxial interface including a first outer conductive shell separated from a second center conductor by a second center conductor insulator, the first outer conductive shell separated from the conductive outer portion of the housing by a second outer insulator, the converter assembly further including a media converter positioned at the second end of the housing, the media converter configured to convert fiber signals and electrical signals carried by a fiber optic/electrical hybrid cable to a coaxial signal to be carried forward by the coaxial interface;
• wherein the front shell assembly is adapted to be selectively detachably mounted to the converter assembly;
• and
• wherein the first outer insulator is adapted to fit within the front connector body and electrically insulate the front connector body from the front shell assembly.

A connector comprising:

• a connector housing formed from a front connector outer body removably mounted to an endcap of the connector;
• a front shell assembly including a front shell, a first center conductor, and a first center conductor insulator, the front shell assembly mounted within the connector housing with a first outer insulator placed over the front shell assembly;
• and
• a converter assembly including a converter assembly housing defining an outer portion mounted to the connector housing, the converter assembly defining a coaxial interface at a first end and a media converter at a second end, the media converter configured to convert fiber signals and electrical signals carried by a fiber optic/electrical hybrid cable to a coaxial signal to be carried forward by the coaxial interface;
• wherein the front shell assembly is mounted to the converter assembly.
