Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates generally to a coaxial cable connector, and more particularly to a method for providing a woven coaxial cable and a trunk device A coaxial cable connector that reliably connects without adding unnecessary cost and complexity or that does not adversely affect network performance. [Prior Art] A coaxial cable is a typical transmission medium used in a modern communication network such as a CATV network. The body of such networks is typically formed from standard "hardwired" coaxial cables that include hard and semi-rigid outer conductors and are typically covered by a weather protective jacket. This design effectively prevents radiation leakage and signal loss and provides excellent physical protection (i.e., shielding) to the sensitive inner conductor and dielectric portion of the cable. Therefore, standard hard-wired coaxial twisted wires are typically used to span at least the long, generally straight, distance of the portion of the transmission along the network, where leakage and signal loss are more difficult to judge and where its negative effects are more influential on the overall communication network. However, standard hard-wired coaxial cables are quite costly and difficult to install compared to large-size braided coaxial cables such as RG11 type cables. The cable typically includes a center conductor surrounded by a dielectric core surrounded by one or more layers of metal foil surrounded by a metal braid or wire mesh outer conductor. The metal braid or wire mesh outer conductor is surrounded by a protective jacket. Although this braided coaxial cable does not provide a level of physical protection afforded by a standard hardwired coaxial cable, the braided coaxial winding is structurally more flexible than that described. Therefore, it is advantageous to utilize a braided coaxial cable in the communication network 115181.doc Ί 302768. In any case, the cheap cost and structural flexibility of the braided coaxial cable will be superior to that of a standard hard-wired coaxial cable. Its relative lack of physical protection. Recognizing this, many telecommunications and cable companies have or intend to utilize this flexible, inexpensive braided coaxial cable on a universal basis, such as at least in the actual location where the transmitted communication network signal arrives (eg, residential, store) Bend at or near to encircle a physical obstacle. In order to maintain the electrical integrity of the communication network signals, the key is to woven the coaxial cable (when used) securely interconnected to distribute and/or adjust these signals without interruption or ground connection. The top of the trunk device. However, since most trunk devices have a "KS" type connection/interface designed to be compatible with standard hard cable and equipment, a flexible coaxial cable with a braided outer conductor is typically used with a size 8 type. Incompatible, F, type connection / interface, so it is difficult to achieve this connection. One solution to this problem is to use an adapter to connect the incompatible KS to the F i%. However, doing so increases the non-nominal assembly cost, requires skilled craftsmanship, and even if The adapter is properly installed and can also dampen the performance of the total communication network. Alternatively, a special type of hard-wired connector, such as a threaded, crimped or compressed coaxial cable connection, is selected. However, the use of such connectors with braided coaxial cables is not ideal due to a variety of reasons including incompatibility, installation difficulties, and negative performance effects. Therefore, it is required to provide effective woven (four) lines and relay materials. A device that is connected without the use of an adapter, does not cause undue costs, does not adversely affect the system performance, or does not complicate the installation process. [Summary of the Invention] These and other needs are met by the present invention, the present invention A device (e.g., a connector) for interconnecting a coaxial cable of a communication network to a trunk device is provided. As a non-limiting example, the coaxial cable can be a braided coaxial winding For example, RG11 or other large-sized twisted coaxial winding. Also as a non-limiting example, the communication network can be a computer, cable, or communication φ network (eg, a CATV network or the like). By way of a limiting example, the trunk device to which the cable is connected may be a tap, amplifier, filter, well or the like, wherein the device has a specific germanium interface, such as a "KS" type interface. In accordance with one or more exemplary embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus is configured to interconnect a braided coaxial cable segment to a device. To this end, the connector includes an inner bore and has a first end and a a connector body of two ends, wherein the first end of the connector body has a meandering interface (eg, KS, type bee interface) and wherein the second end of the connector body includes one or more Engaging the outer ridge with the compression tool and the inner groove. Optionally, the inner bore of the body can have a diameter that varies stepwise or in a manner between the first end and the second end of the connector body. Still in accordance with the present invention In one or more exemplary aspects, the apparatus further includes a post having a first end and a second end. The first end of the post is sized and configured to be at a portion of the inner bore and the connector The second end of the body member includes a set of sleeves configured to engage at least the braided outer conductor of the coaxial cable. Typically, the sleeve is inserted into the dielectric core and the braided outer conductor is braided. Between. However, Other configurations are known in the art wherein the second end of the post abuts the metal foil layer or the braided outer conductor because the metal foil layer or the braided outer conductor folds back over the protective jacket of the coaxial cable. The sleeve can include One or more serrations, barbs or wedge pins to assist in arranging the spray of the outer conductor. Further in accordance with one or more exemplary aspects of the invention, the apparatus further includes a first end and a second end a compression member of an inner surface and an outer surface. The first end of the compression member may include an outer protruding rib 'the outer protruding rib is sized and configured to engage at the second end of the connector body a slot in the inner slot to retain the compression member in the first position 'where the second end of the compression member and the connector body can receive the prepared end of the coaxial cable. Alternatively, the first end of the compression member can be sized Manufactured to be crimped into the second end of the connector body. The second end of the compression member typically includes a flange configured to engage a compression tool (not shown). Slidingly axially advancing the compression member into the connector body. The force of the compression tool is sufficient to shear or displace the rib from the slot to allow the compression member to advance axially into the connector body. The flange may also be larger than The diameter of the inner diameter of the inner end of the (four) main crucible is to limit or control the extent to which the compression member is axially advanced into the connector body. The inner surface of the compression member includes an inwardly from the first end to the second end. a thinned portion. When the compression member is axially advanced, the outer layer of the coaxial cable is compressed and secured between the inner surface of the compression member and the sleeve of the column. The outer surface of the compression member includes - the first in the compression member Outside the end 115815.doc 1302768 The annular groove at the intermediate portion between the rib and the flange at the second end. The outer surface may also include a shoulder between the annular groove and the flange. The shoulder is sized to form a crimp with the second end of the connector body that is sufficient to retain the retractable member that is fully drawn into the connector body in the second position. The annular groove has side walls that are inclined, vertical or curved. The %-shaped groove provides slight bending or bending of the compression member to release the compressive stress caused by the axial advancement of the compression member and allows the connector to be adapted. * Coaxial winding of the box layer, braided outer conductor and protection provided by each manufacturer The change in the thickness of the jacket. Further in accordance with one or more exemplary aspects of the present invention, the apparatus further includes or may further include one or more additional elements. Such elements may include, but are not limited to, (4) a sealing member, such as a weir ring, disposed about the connector body adjacent to the weir interface; (b) a covering member that is around the first end of the compression member (C) a contact pin having a first end adapted to engage a piece of trunking, a second end of a center conductor # for electrically engaging the coaxial cable, and an intermediate portion; (d) a collet at the second end of the contact pin, which may include, if necessary, a plurality of forks adapted to receive and hold the braided conductors, and/or conductors, and (e) one or more An insulator disposed within the interior of the connector body and which electrically insulates the center contact pin and/or the collet from the connector body. Other aspects, embodiments, and advantages of the invention are discussed in detail below. In addition, the above general description and the following detailed description are merely illustrative of the present invention and are intended to provide an overview or framework for understanding the present invention as claimed. The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the invention of the invention and the disclosure of the invention. The drawings illustrate various embodiments of the invention and, together with [Embodiment] Referring now to Figures i and 2, there is shown a device (e.g., connector) for interconnecting coaxial windings (such as coaxial lines in a core network) to a trunk device. . The device of the present invention is extremely advantageous because it is well suited for connecting coaxial cables due to the structure and design of the device φ 1〇 (for example, a braided coaxial i-wire as used in a CATV network, especially a large-format braided coaxial Cable) to the trunk device with a "KS" interface (for example, a tap 'amplifier, filter, trap or the like). Connection benefit 10 includes a connector body 12 that is generally cylindrical in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and as shown in FIG. The body 12 has a first end 16 and a second end 14 and a generally cylindrical intermediate portion 18.

Further advancement ' the first annulus 96 cooperates with the inner surface at the second end of the connector body to maintain the compression member linearly axially into the connector body. When the axial advancement continues, the inwardly tapered portion of the inner surface 83 of the compression member 8 turns an inward radial force on the insertion section of the cable 2''. The inwardly tapered portion of the inner surface compresses and sandwiches the braided outer conductor 208 of the cable 200 and the protective outer sleeve 206 between the inner surface 83 of the compression member 80 and the sleeve 66 of the post 60. The compression member continues to axially advance into the second end 14 of the connector body 2 until the annular shoulder 9 is firmly pressed into the second end 14 of the connector body or until the side wall 95 of the flange 94 abuts the connector The second end 14 of the body. When the compression member 80 applies a radial force to the outer sleeve 206 of the cable 200, a secure connection is maintained between the cable 200 and the connector 10.
