Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a test point adaptor for coaxial cables.
  • Test adaptors or test point adaptors are used in order to test the properties of communication networks such as cable TV and computer networks e.g. using coaxial cables. In order to carry out a test, it is necessary to provide access points in which test equipment may be connected.
  • testing of the coaxial cables has become increasingly important due to the fact that more and more digital signals are carried in the cable. Disturbance in the signal i.e. the signal/noise ratio, in digital signals are more likely to occur than when only analogue signals were used, and ensuring a high quality of the cables including connectors have thus become increasingly critical.
  • the end user of a connection is depending more and more on the reliability of their connection e.g. by using IP-telephony, VPN and similar products and does not accept line dropout e.g. when testing the connection.
  • a system as described in US 4,738,009 is a system that rely on removing a part of the dielectric material. This invasive method is likely to cause disturbance in the connection, in particular considering the digital signals. If the grip around the cable is loosened the twisting of T-connector could cause damage to the conductors. Connecting and disconnecting test equipment would eventually cause twisting of the T-connector.
  • US 4,797,121 discloses a tee fitting for tapping into a coaxial cable network.
  • the fitting receives "male" cables only and the cables are crimped together with the body.
  • the design of the tee fitting does not allow for adjusting the position of the body part perpendicular to the cable.
  • the coaxial cable is disconnected from e.g. an amplifier or similar equipment that the coaxial cable is connected to.
  • Various components are assembled to achieve an adaptor having an access point for testing, said adaptor being inserted between the coaxial able and e.g. an amplifier, and in this way such adaptor provides for testing during use of the cable.
  • the number of parts assembled for such adaptor increases, the risk of poor performance and disruption of the signal increases similarly.
  • the persons installing the adaptor and connecting the test equipment thereto need to pay great attention to correct assembly of the adaptor and to use the equipment carefully.
  • the person installing the equipment often adjusts the position of the access point e.g. by rotating the access point to which the test equipment is connected. This, however, often causes disruption to the signal quality which are not corrected after having performed the desired tests. Typically, the damages to the cables and/or the connection are not visible to the person handling the equipment and thus the mere installation of today's test equipment could cause a poor signal quality.
  • test point adaptor that causes a minimal disruption of the signal to be measured.
  • a test point adaptor for coaxial cables tor may comprise a main body and a test body, said main body having a longitudinal axis, said main body comprising a first end comprising a first interface and a second end comprising a second interface and a first center conductor extending at least from the first interface to the second interface.
  • the test body has a longitudinal axis and is arranged laterally to the main body.
  • the test body comprises a first test body end and a second test body end comprising a third interface, and an electrically conductive contact member. The contact between the first center conductor and the contact member is provided by a sliding contact.
  • the first interface comprises, in relation to the main body, rotatably arranged connecting means for connecting the first interface to a mating part.
  • the contact member is in electrical contact with the first center conductor so as to allow rotation of the main body relative to the first center conductor.
  • the first end of the main body may be named the first body end.
  • the first center conductor and the contact member are rotated in relation to each other.
  • the connection between the first center conductor and the contact member is not possible for the connection between the first center conductor and the contact member to be rigid, e.g. by soldering them together.
  • the center conductor is fixed, e.g. inside an amplifier, in order to achieve a firm connection. If the main body is provided with insulators for positioning the first center conductor in the main body, the insulators will rotate either relative to the main body, or the insulators will rotate along with the main body relative to the first center conductor.
  • the main body can rotate freely around the first center conductor and thus maintain an electrical connection to the contact member.
  • the first center conductor is symmetrical around its longitudinal axis, i.e. having a circular cross section.
  • the contact member may be spring loaded.
  • the contact between the first center conductor and the contact member i.e. the sliding contact may be obtained by resilient means, e.g. rubber, disk spring or coiled spring.
  • the spring may be an annular spring plate. The spring may be positioned between a seizure positioning the end of the second center conductor in relation to the first center conductor and the second end of the test body.
  • the first interface comprises, in relation to the main body, rotatably arranged connecting means for connecting the first interface to a mating part, e.g. an amplifier.
  • Rotatably arranged connecting means or interface may e.g. be named a swivel nut or swivel member.
  • the main body rotates in relation to the swivel nut.
  • the first center conductor is arranged such that force necessary for rotating the first center conductor relative to the main body is smaller than either the force for preventing the first center conductor from rotating in the insulators or preventing the insulators holding the first center conductor from rotating in the main body.
  • the first center conductor may be kept fixed relative to the main body when rotating the main body.
  • test point adaptor may comprise:
  • the main body of the test point adaptor can be manufactured in one piece, thus minimising the risk of moist, dirt, and/or water penetrating to the inside of the main body. Furthermore, during installation of the test point adaptor to a mating component, only the nut and the swivel member is turned and the main body as well as the cable is kept still. Thus, damage to the cable and the first center conductor is avoided.
  • the second end of the swivel member may comprise at least one slit in order to allow the second end of the swivel member to be compressed.
  • the at least one slit facilitates compression of the second end of the swivel member. In this way, the second end can be compressed so as to achieve a tight connection to the main body.
  • the at least one slit may be obtained e.g. by cutting or milling or, if the swivel member is moulded, it may be obtained in the moulding process.
  • the first interface may comprise a male part with outer connecting means, such as a thread.
  • the first interface may comprise a swivel member or a swivel nut.
  • the test body may comprise a resistor.
  • the resistor and the test body may be releasably connected. In an embodiment, the resistor may be releasably connected to the test body.
  • test body i.e. the measuring properties of the test point adaptor
  • test body and the main body may be threadably engaged with each other.
  • test body may be arranged substantially perpendicular to the main body.
  • connection between the test body and the main body may comprise sealing means.
  • the sealing means may comprise an adhesive. Having threadably engaged the test body and the main body, an adhesive may be applied in order to achieve a tight sealing between the two bodies.
  • the contact member may comprise a central aperture arranged such as to receive one end of a resistor. In this way, it is possible to achieve a firm electrical contact between the contact member and the resistor.
  • the contact member may be arranged in a seizure. In this way it is possible to use different material for the seizure and the contact member.
  • the contact member may be made of brass or plated brass.
  • the contact member may be made of material similar to the center conductor of the main body.
  • the seizure may be movably arranged in the first end of the test body. In this way, the seizure is easy to install and is capable of moving along the longitudinal axis of the test body without being rotated. Furthermore, if necessary, the movable arrangement of the seizure may allow headroom for the spring to work.
  • the seizure may be made of a dielectric material. In this way, it is achieved that the contact member is kept in position without short circuiting between the first center conductor and either of the bodies.
  • the test body may comprise an inner compartment for receiving a test instrument.
  • the contact member may have flexible fingers arranged so as to clamp around the one end of a resistor. In this way, a firm electrical contact is established between the contact member and the resistor.
  • the contact member may have projections for applying a pressure against the inner walls of the seizure. In this way it is achieved that the contact member is fixed in the seizure.
  • the test body may comprise a cap for sealing the inner compartment of the test body.
  • the cap may comprise a terminator for stopping the signal.
  • the test point adaptor may be used for testing connections using both coaxial cables and/or fiber.
  • the test point adaptor may be used for testing connections using both coaxial cables and fiber and combinations thereof.
  • the sealing means of the test point adaptor may comprise an O-ring.

  • Fig. 4 illustrates the test point adaptor 1 mounted on a mating component 41, e.g. an amplifier 41 (only a section shown).
  • the interface 4, i.e. the swivel member or swivel nut, of the first end of the main body 2 is mounted in the mating interface 42 of the mating component, i.e. the amplifier 41.
  • the center conductor 7 is fixed in relation to the amplifier by the screw 43.
  • the screw 43 clamps strongly around the center conductor 7 (a pin) and when fixed, the center conductor 7 cannot rotate relative to the amplifier. Even if the test point adaptor 1 is rotated (see arrow A1) relative to the amplifier 41, the center conductor 7 will remain in a fixed position relative to the amplifier 41.
  • the first interface 4 comprises a swivel nut 44
  • the main body 2 simply swivels relative to the swivel nut 44.
  • the center conductor 7 is kept fixed by the screw 43 and thus the center conductor 7 is kept fixed relative to the seizures 9, 10, the seizures 9, 10 being rotated along with the main body 2.
  • the seizures 9, 10 may be fixed relative to the main body 2 when the main body is rotated. If the main body 2 is moved relative to the center conductor 7, the inner conductor of the cable (not shown) connected to the test point adaptor at the second end 5 is drawn out of the clamping mechanism 45 on the center conductor 7.
  • Fig. 4 shows the test point adaptor 1 having a cap 29 mounted on the test body 11.
  • Fig. 3 shows a sectional view of the test point adaptor of Fig. 2 in order to show the swivel member 4 further. Only a part of the test point adaptor 1 is shown. The part shown is when it is not connected to a mating component. Encircled by a dotted line, an enlarged view is shown in uncompressed state of the position of the main body 2, the nut 103 and the swivel member 4 in relation to each other , i.e. when the test point adaptor 1 is not mounted to a mating component (not shown). In this state, it is seen that a first play 1035 is present between the outer conical region 1024 of the swivel member 4 and the inner inclining surface region 1025 of the nut 103.
  • a second play 1036 is seen between the recessed region 1018 of outer cylindrical surface 1015 and a part of the inner surface of the compressible second end 1022 of the swivel member 4. Furthermore, it is seen that an inwardly extending projection 1037 of the swivel member 4 is positioned in such a manner that the swivel member 4 cannot slide off the main body 2. This has the effect that when the threaded region of the swivel member 4 is connected to a mating component (not shown) and the nut 103 is turned in order to draw the swivel member 4 into the mating component, the first side wall 1025 will be brought into contact with the mating component.
  • the nut 103 In relation to the mating component, the nut 103 will be in a fixed position when it is in contact with the mating component. As a consequence, the swivel member 4 will slide towards the mating component, i.e. away from the second end 106 of the main body 2, and the swivel member 4 will thus slide relative to the nut 103 along the longitudinal axis of the main body 2. This relative movement of the swivel member 4 and the nut 3 will bring the outer inclining surface region 1024 of the compressible second end 1022 of the swivel member 4 in contact with the inner inclining surface region 1025 of the nut 3.
  • the inclination of the inclining regions 1024, 1025 will have a resulting force that will press the inwardly extending projection 1037 radially towards the longitudinal axis 8 of the main body 2.
  • the compressibility of the second end 1022 of the swivel member 4 facilitates that only a small torque is to be applied to the nut 103 in order to achieve a firm connection between the test point adaptor 1 (only partly shown) and the mating component (not shown).
