ABSTRACT:
A cable TV connector which will not allow the cable signal to pass unless sufficient torque has been applied to secure the connector to the mating jack. The connector includes two coaxial parts which move together in rotation during initial securement onto the cable jack during which a conductor contact is shorted to one of the parts under the urging of a spring mechanism. A cam and cam follower are provided on the parts such that once sufficient torque has been applied, the parts will move axially relative to each other causing separation of the conductor contact from the surface of one of the parts to break the short and allow the signal to pass.
