ABSTRACT:
A switching coax jack module (10) contains two removable jacks (14, 14'). The jack module (10) includes a sheet metal housing (12) with a front wall (22) and a rear wall (24). An interior wall structure (20) within the housing (12) defines two recesses (34, 34') within the housing (12) recessed from and open through the front wall (22). The interior wall structure (20) carries four sliding coax connectors (60a, 61a, 60a', 61a') with two of the four exposed within each of the recesses (34, 34'). Coax cables (60b, 61b, 60b', 61b') contained within the housing (12) connect each of the four sliding coax connectors (60a, 61a, 60a', 61a') with individual ones of coax connectors (60, 61, 60', 61') mounted on the rear wall (24) and exposed to an exterior of the housing (12). Two switching jacks (14, 14') containing switching components (125) are slidably received within the recesses (34, 34'). Sliding connectors (112, 113) mate with the housing sliding connectors (60a, 61a, 60a', 61a'). Ports (121, 122, 123) on the front of the jacks (14, 14') are exposed through the forward wall (22). Arcuate edges (104, 106) of the jacks (14, 14') are complimentarily shaped to arcuate grooves (84) on the interior wall structure (20) to guide the jacks (14, 14') into the recesses (34, 34') with the jack sliding connectors (112, 113) mating with the housing sliding connectors (60a, 61a, 60a', 61a'). The jacks (14, 14') and recesses (34, 34') are symmetrically shaped to permit identically constructed jacks (14, 14') to be inserted into either recess (34, 34') by rotating a jack (14, 14') about its longitudinal axis.
