A coring tool for a coaxial cable has a tool holder and cutter bit mounted to the tool holder. The cutter bit is constructed from a conductive metal or alloy which is durable for rotatably drilling out and removing a dielectric core surrounding a central conductor of the coaxial cable, as the central conductor is preserved by passing into a central bore formed in the cutter bit. The cutter bit also includes a non-conductive sleeve or coating which prevents the cutter bit from electrically interconnecting, e.g., shorting, the central conductor to an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.

Non-shorting cable coring tool

A system includes a housing () that includes one or more ports () through which electrical connections to one or more electronic components situated within the housing can be made from exterior of the housing. At least one enclosure bushing () is coupled to at least one port. The enclosure bushing includes a cylindrical service jacket receiver () defining a lumen (), a flange () abutting a portion of the housing, and one or more lugs () extending from a portion of the cylindrical service jacket receiver. A coupling nut () having one or more circumferential lug receivers () applies a compression force to the frustoconical weather gasket when the one or more lugs engaging the locking notch () of the one or more circumferential lug receivers.

Tool-less service cable connector and corresponding systems and methods

A system includes a housing () or enclosure for electrical components. The housing can include a base () and a lid () pivotably coupled to the base by one or more hinges (). One or more heat-generating electrical components situated within the housing. One or more heat transfer devices () couple the housing to a thermal energy sink (). The heat transfer devices transfer thermal energy generated by the one or more heat-generating electrical components from the housing to the thermal energy sink, thereby increasing the thermal dissipation capability of the housing.

Thermal energy dissipation systems and methods

An active link wireless cable mesh network and a method for transmitting data in a wireless cable mesh network are provided. A plurality of end devices are connected in a mesh configuration. A data message is transmitted to a first end device via one of a plurality of antennas radiating elements which form a phased array antenna. If the message is not successfully received, the antenna radiating elements is steered to another transceiver in the mesh network to complete the transmission.

Active link cable mesh

A device comprises a housing and antenna elements. The housing has an outer surface portion and a plurality of projection portions. The projection portions dissipate heat and are disposed to extend to a first height from the outer surface portion. The antenna elements are disposed below the first height at a position of the outer surface portion and in between the projection portions. Accordingly, the antenna elements are protected by the projection portions.

Equipment housing with integral antenna

Embodiments of the invention generally provide a mechanically integrated cable mesh antenna system. One embodiment of a wireless access device for a network includes a housing having at least one rib, beam forming electronics supported by the housing, and at least one antenna for providing subscribers of the network with a connection to the network, where the antenna is formed on the rib.
