A coaxial cable connector includes a shoe that is movable in a sidewall of a body of the connector and/or a continuity bus.

Body clamp connector

A male F-type coaxial cable connector including a nut, a body, a post, and a spacer, the spacer for bearing on the nut.

Push-on coaxial connector

A coaxial cable connector with a grounding insert that is between a fastener and and a post to provide electrical continuity therebetween.

Coaxial connector grounding inserts

A compressible F-connector and method for interconnection with coaxial cable that includes a biasing member for promoting electrical continuity.

Coaxial connector with grommet biasing for enhanced continuity

Barrel connectors, a right angled adaptor and a single ended fitting include at least one axially displaceable traveling sleeve for insuring electrical continuity with coaxial connector, nominally an F-connector. Each barrel connector described comprises a rigid, metallic hollow body housing an internal contact tube. At least one coiled spring is retained within the body. At least one elongated, tubular traveling sleeve is coaxially disposed within each body end and normally biased outwardly by the springs. The metallic traveling sleeves comprise an elongated shank that contacts the spring, and a head that seats against the connector body ends during installation. Catches or rings defined upon or mounted to travelling sleeve shanks are received within suitable grooves for anchoring the traveling sleeves while facilitating limited axial displacements. The traveling sleeves, and the contact tube therewithin, normally are biased outwardly so that even limited torquing of an F-connector will establish a ground path.

Coaxial barrel fittings and couplings with ground establishing traveling sleeves

A cable caddy with a portable housing stores cable reels. Each reel includes a drum coupled to end caps. Plugs inserted in the end caps are irrotatable with respect to the housing and rotatable with respect to the drum. During transport reels are stacked vertically atop one another with a plug of a first reel inserted in a plug of a second reel.

Cable reel and reel carrying caddy

Male F-Type coaxial connector

A resilient cable caddy comprising a portable housing for storing reels of cable that has a lower base with a hinged top forming an enclosure for the reel. A reel of cable is rotatably mounted within the interior. A handle formed by abutting base and top portions enables carrying. Each reel comprises a spool with a central axle coupled at each end to spaced apart end caps, being retained by mounting rings. The spindles have bearing rings journaled to bearing races defined in the end caps. Both spindles comprise hubs disposed within case gudgeons. A two-piece spindle has a removable hub portion fitted to an internal socket. When reels are transported they may be stacked vertically atop one another with the one piece spindle engaging the empty and exposed spindle hub socket of an upper reel. Caddies may also be opened and stacked vertically for transportation.

A compressible F-connector and method for interconnection with coaxial cable that includes a biasing grommet for promoting electrical continuity despite inadequate nut tightening. Each connector has a rigid nut, a post penetrating the nut, a tubular body, and an end cap. The conductive post coaxially extends through the connector, linking the nut and body. A post end penetrates the coaxial cable. Each connector body comprises a frontal annular groove in which is seated a biasing grommet with projections extending from one or both grommet ends that bias the nut to insure mechanical and electrical contact with the post. In one embodiment of the invention the projections are semicircular. In alternative embodiments the projections may be triangular or square, and projections on one grommet end may be radially offset from projections on the opposite end.
