ABSTRACT:
A switchable electrical connector for distribution equipment is provided, particularly in the form of a tap housing containing the F-port connector which when installed in a CATV system, is switchable to selectively supply RP with power to customers who subscribe to telephone service; and to provide only RF (5 MHz-1 GHz) to customers who subscribe only to cable television service. The connector includes a cylindrical outer conductor for attachment to a housing of the distribution equipment which contains a pcb, a conductor of a coaxial cable being connectable to said outer conductor; an inner resilient conductor member contained in the outer conductor and connectable to an electrical circuit when contacting the pcb, a conductor of a coaxial cable being connectable to the inner resilient conductor member; and a switching arrangement operatively associated with the resilient conductor member and the pcb whereby an electrical circuit may be selectively opened and closed to selectively provide the services when the inner resilient conductor member has contact with the pcb.
