Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for preventing passive intermodulation (PIM) in radio frequency (RF) connectors are provided. RF connectors that function in a telecommunication environment are re-designed and forged to have tags or portions that extend from the body. The tags or portions have holes that can receive screws to secure RF connectors together are secure an RF connector to a device. The screws are placed in the RF connectors and are connected together with safety wire such that a loosening motion of one screw causes a tightening motion on another screw.
