ABSTRACT:
A "terminating" coaxial cable connector apparatus includes an electronic terminating circuit that approaches the characteristic impedance of the coaxial cable system. The terminating circuit is mounted in or on a housing that is connected to a wall mounting plate and is external to the cable connector. The electronic terminating circuit is structured so that it can be moved to a first position which electronically decouples the electronic circuit from the coaxial cable. In that first position a standard mating connector can then be connected to the standard cable jack. In a second position, the terminating circuit contacts and electrically couples the central coaxial conductor and the cylindrical conductive housing of a standard open coaxial connector. A frictional surface is provided on the housing to allow the housing to be gripped and moved between the first and second positions.
