Abstract:
1. A clockable cable adapter, comprising: a termination body configured to receive a cable and to be fixable thereto, the termination body including an annular surface and a retaining member engagement surface; a clocking body rotatably installed over the termination body and upon the annular surface of the termination body, the clocking body including threads configured to engage an external adapter and to draw the external adapter toward the clocking cable adapter; and a retaining member fixedly installed over the termination body and upon the retaining member engagement surface of the termination body and configured to retain the clocking body to the termination body while allowing the clocking body to rotate relative to the termination body, wherein the clocking body is configured to rotate relative to the termination body when partially engaged with the external adapter, and when the clocking body is fully engaged with the external adapter, at least one of the termination body and the retaining member contacts the external adapter thereby preventing rotational movement of the external adapter and the clocking body relative to the termination body.
