Abstract
An RF switch () that is activated by the insertion of a connector. The RF switch () can comprise one or more antenna adapters that can be formed by a number of predetermined RF connector types. The RF switch can include a switch housing (). A first, second, and third coaxial RF connectors () can be mounted to the switch housing (). The first, second, and third coaxial RF connectors () can individually have both an inner and outer conductor (---, respectively). An actuator () can be movable from a first position to a second position responsive to a mechanical force applied to the third coaxial connector (). A switch element () can be responsive to the actuator (). When in the first position, the switch element () can exclusively form a conductive path between the first and second coaxial RF connectors (). When the actuator () is in the second position, the switch element () can exclusively form a conductive path between the first and third coaxial RF connectors ().
