| 20100216331 | PULL THROUGH MODULAR JACK AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to a pull-through modular jack and method of use thereof. The modular jack allows wires to be fed through the housing and pulled tight prior to terminating. This ensures that the wires terminate with the insulation displacement contact very close to the point at which the wires are still twisted. Termination is made by moving a pressing portion to a pressed position, which then pushes the wires into the insulation displacement contacts that displace the wire insulation to make contact. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100227497 | MODULAR JACK AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to modular jack and method of assembling thereof. The modular jack allows a portion of the stripped jacket of a cable to be contained within the housing of the jack. This ensures that the wires terminate with the insulation displacement contact very close to the point at which the wires are still twisted. A strain relief tab ensures that an external force on the cable does not interfere with the connection that the internal insulated wires make with the insulation displacement contacts of the conductive terminal, ensuring a reliable electrical connection. Termination is made by displacing the wire contact portion of the conductive terminal to pierce the insulation of the insulated wires. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100267271 | RELEASABLY ENGAGING HIGH DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE PLUG - A releasably engaging high definition multimedia plug comprises a plug body and an actuator operable with the plug body to move a locking tab of the plug and facilitate releasable engagement of the plug with a standard high definition multimedia receptacle. A corresponding method of releasably securing a high definition multimedia interface plug into standard high definition multimedia interface receptacle is also provided. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100273344 | RELEASABLY ENGAGING HIGH DEFINITION MULTIMEDIA INTERFACE PLUG - A releasably engaging high definition multimedia plug comprises a plug body and an actuator operable with the plug body to move a locking tab of the plug and facilitate releasable engagement of the plug with a standard high definition multimedia receptacle. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100273352 | Tightening Indicator For Coaxial Cable Connector - A coaxial cable connector includes an outer body having a first end and an opposing second end, an inner body having a first inner end and a second inner end, and a post interconnected with the inner body. A fastener portion is at the first end of the outer body. A compression sleeve is disposed to fit on the second inner end. The post, the inner body, and the compression sleeve are movable with respect to the outer body between a first position in which the connector is not mounted to an equipment port and a second position when the connector is mounted to the equipment port. When the fastener portion is mounted to the equipment port, an indicator portion on the compression sleeve is made visible to a user. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100323541 | COAXIAL CABLE PORT LOCKING TERMINATOR AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF - Disclosed herein is a coaxial cable interface port locking terminator including an outer terminator housing and an inner connector body housed within the outer terminator housing. The coaxial cable interface port locking terminator further includes a ratcheting device in operable communication with the outer terminator housing and the inner connector body, the ratcheting device preventing rotation of the outer terminator housing with respect to the inner connector body when the outer terminator housing is rotated in the first direction, the ratcheting device including at least one separate component from the outer terminator housing and the inner connector body. Furthermore, rotation of the outer terminator housing in a second direction does not cause rotation of the inner connector body in the second direction. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110003498 | Coaxial Cable Connector Seal - A connector seal including at least one cylindrical coaxial cable connector, and an elastic sleeve rolled upon itself. The sleeve is configured to unroll to enclose at least a portion of the connector. The portion of the connector may be a connection location between two of the connectors. The portion of the connector may have at least one of differing surface shapes and differing diameters. The elastic sleeve may be fastened to an exterior portion of the connector, may be pre-positioned on the connector, and may be configured to be removed entirely from the connector. A release liner covering one side of the elastic sleeve may be rolled up with the elastic sleeve. The release liner may be elastic and may be latex. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110059650 | SECURABLE CONNECTOR - An electrical cable connector comprising an electrically conductive central body, an outer sleeve rotatably coupled to the central body, and a tubular cam member disposed between the outer sleeve and the central body. When the outer sleeve is rotated around the central body from a first rotational position to a second rotational position, the tubular cam member is displaced from a first axial position to a second axial position, thereby causing a radial camming region in an axial through bore of the tubular cam member to displace fingers of the electrically conductive central body radially inwardly. In that manner, when the connector is plugged into a port or jack comprising a cylindrical body that is at least partially enclosed by the fingers of the central body of the connector, the fingers clamp onto the body of the port, thereby securing the connector to the port. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110059651 | CONNECTOR WITH INTEGRAL SEAL - A connector is provided comprising a tubular connector body with a mating end, an end face at the mating end, an outer diameter, and a center axis. A circular groove in the end face defines a ring with a sealing surface, and a coupling member mates with the sealing surface. The coupling member has a mating end configured to connect with a separate device. | 03-10-2011 |
| 20110086538 | PULL THROUGH MODULAR JACK - The present invention relates to a pull-through modular jack and method of use thereof. The modular jack allows wires to be fed through the housing and pulled tight prior to terminating. This ensures that the wires terminate with the insulation displacement contact very close to the point at which the wires are still twisted. Termination is made by moving a pressing portion to a pressed position, which then pushes the wires into the insulation displacement contacts that displace the wire insulation to make contact. | 04-14-2011 |
