Patent ID: 7165974

Claim:
A multi-port, right-angle, coaxial cable-to-male, push-on, connector assembly, for terminating a plurality of coaxial cables, comprising: a multi-port, right-angle, coaxial cable-to-male, push-on, connector having a cable side and a male side, the plane of the cable side being at a right angle to the plane of the male side; a first set of bores extending into the multi-port, right-angle, coaxial cable-to-male, push-on, connector, the axis of each bore of the first set of bores being perpendicular to the plane of the cable side; a second set of bores extending into the multi-port, right-angle, coaxial cable-to-male, push-on, connector, the axis of each bore of the second set of bores being perpendicular to the plane of the male side, such that respective bores of the first set of bores and of the second set of bores join within the multi-port, right-angle, coaxial cable-to-male, push-on, connector; a cable port on the cable side of the multi-port, right-angle, coaxial cable-to-male, push-on, connector at each bore of the first set of bores, each cable port having internal threads; a cable adapter attached to an end of each coaxial cable of the plurality of coaxial cables, thereby forming a coaxial cable-cable adapter combination; a clamp nut having external threads, a portion of the clamp nut extending out of the housing, the clamp nut for removably attaching one coaxial cable-cable adapter combination to one of the cable ports; and a male, push-on port on the male side of the multi-port, right-angle, coaxial cable-to-male, push-on, connector at each bore of the second set of bores, each male, push-on port being electrically coupled within one of the bores to a corresponding cable port by a bent center contact disposed within a corresponding pair of bores of the first and second sets of bores, wherein one end of the bent center contact terminates in a male pin end disposed within the male, push-on port, and wherein the bent center contact terminates in a female socket contact disposed proximate the cable port, wherein each coaxial cable-cable adapter combination is separately field replaceable from the multi-port, right-angle, coaxial cable-to-male, push-on, connector.
