Embodiment Construction

[0014] A weather shield is described for providing coaxial cable connections with protection from water, wind, ice, and foreign matter. As described in the Background of the Invention, such weather shields are typically placed over coaxial cable connectors used outdoors, i.e. typically on cellular communication towers, i.e. on jumper cables and telecommunications antennas connection formed between.

[0015] Typical jumper cables employ coaxial cables with cable connectors disposed at each end. Coaxial cables generally consist of: (a) a conductive center wire, tube, strand, or inner conductor; (b) a cylindrical or tubular dielectric or insulator that receives and surrounds the inner conductor; (c) a conductive tube or outer conductor, which receives and surrounds the dielectric or insulator; and (d) a sheath, sleeve or outer sheath which receives and surrounds the outer conductor. The outer conductor may be corrugated, ie, define a plurality of peaks and valleys, to facilitat...

Abstract

A production housing for a coaxial cable connector comprising an elastomeric housing disposed over and engaged with a connector and having an inner mold formed in the elastomeric housing Multiple longitudinal slots in the surface of the wire-making (IML). The longitudinal slots serve to reduce the surface area of ​​frictional engagement between the intermediate surface and the corresponding outer peripheral surface of the coaxial cable connector. The longitudinal slots serve as longitudinal passages for trapped air to move from one IML surface to the other in order to prevent accumulation of air and / or prevent the initiation of suction pockets that would prevent separation of the housing from the jumper cables.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of the filing date and priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 550,986, filed August 28, 2017. The complete specification of each application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Coaxial cables are typically connected to interface ports or corresponding connectors for operating various electronic devices, such as cellular telephones, televisions, and video recording devices. Typically, coaxial cables are installed on cell towers, and in harsh outdoor environments, the cables / connectors are exposed to rain, snow, ice, wind, and other elements. To protect the cables / connectors from the elements, various weatherproofing systems have been devised which provide critical protection for the electrical connectors mounted on such cellular antennas / towers. Initially, weatherproofing methods included the use of fluid butyl sealant in ...
