Patent ID: 7144271

Claim:
A tamper resistant coaxial terminator for securing and terminating a coaxial equipment port of an equipment box, the coaxial equipment port being of the type having a female center conductor adapted to receive a center conductor of a coaxial connector, the coaxial equipment port also being of the type including an externally threaded outer conductor surrounding the female center conductor and spaced apart therefrom by a dielectric, the tamper resistant coaxial terminator comprising in combination: a. an electrically-conductive RF port having first and second opposing ends, the first end of the RF port having a central bore, and the first end of the RF port including an internally threaded region to threadedly engage the outer conductor of the coaxial equipment port through rotation of the RF port relative to the coaxial equipment port; b. an inner body having first and second ends, a first end of the inner body having a central bore for receiving the second end of the RF port, the inner body and the RF port being coupled to each other for rotating as a unit, the second end of the inner body including a surface for receiving a tool used to rotate the inner body; and c. an outer shield having a central bore and surrounding the inner body and rotatably secured thereover, the outer shield having a first end disposed around the RF port for restricting access thereto, the outer shield including a second opposing end having a bore formed therein for allowing insertion of said tool to rotate the inner body.
