The present invention relates to a center conductor insulator with a tapered entry for use with a coaxial cable transmission line connector that provides guiding and centering of a center conductor pin within the connector. The present invention further relates to a front sleeve assembly for use with a coaxial cable transmission line connector which incorporates a center conductor insulator with a tapered entry to guide and center a center conductor pin within the connector. The present invention also relates to a compression ring assembly for mounting a connector to a cable, the assembly having a collet engaging a tapered rear seal to compress the collet about the cable. The present invention further relates to a method of mounting a connector to a cable with a compression ring assembly incorporating a collet and tapered rear seal. The present invention also relates to conversion kit including a front sleeve assembly and an outer body for a coaxial cable transmission line connector which permits the connector to be changed from a connector of first style or gender to a connector of a second style or gender. The present invention further relates to a mounting kit which allows mounting of different genders and styles of telecommunications connectors to a panel.

Triaxial connector adapter and method

A patching system is disclosed herein. The patching system includes a plurality of patching jacks. The jacks include switches for changing the circuit configurations of the patching circuitry of the jacks. The switches are positioned to enhance the circuit density of the patching system.

High density patching system

A terminated coaxial connector having a mating end for mating with a coaxial jack, the connector including an axially aligned resistor mounted within a conductive outer shell. The resistor electrically links the outer shell with a center conductor which is connected to a first end of the resistor through a conductive rear plug which is connected to a second end of the resistor. The center conductor and the rear plug hold the resistor axially aligned within the outer shell. Further, a method of assembling a terminated coaxial connector having a mating end for mating with a coaxial jack so that a resistor within the connector is held axially aligned within an outer shell by a rear plug. The resistor is physically and electrically linked to the center conductor and the outer shell through the conductive rear plug and provides a level of impedance within the coaxial connector.
