ABSTRACT:
A connector to provide a coaxial cable tap without shorting the conductors and without significantly changing the coaxial cable parameters which would affect the data flow therein. The apparatus of the present invention can therefore be attached to the cable while the cable continues to pass signals. The connector itself provides a guide for a cutting operation and for the subsequent assembly of the finished connector. The cable tap mounts perpendicular to the coaxial cable, and includes a center pin which attaches to the coaxial cable center wire along the axis of the cable tap. The center pin has two prongs spaced apart in opposition to straddle and securely retain the center conductor. The assembled connector provides a top having a standard connector, such as an "F" or "BNC" connector. The resulting cable connection has a long and reliable life, installed without causing an interruption to information or signal flow on the cable at any time.
