ABSTRACT:
The CATV tap assembly of the present invention comprises a tap faceplate and associated components for forming an integrated F-Type connector. The tap assembly includes a tap faceplate, having at least one port. In addition to the aforementioned tap faceplate, the integrated connector assembly includes a post cartridge, an elastomer clamping element, and a nut. Generally, the post cartridge attaches to the tap faceplate through a bore formed in the tap faceplate, and the elastomer clamping element and nut are incorporated into a housing. The housing extends outward from the outer surface of the tap faceplate to thereby form the outer wall of the connector. A coaxial cable is secured to the connector via the expansion of the elastomer crimping element, wherein the expansion results from the aforementioned nut being driven into the housing.
