Patent ID: 7997929

Claim:
A phone plug connector device for use with the end of a coaxial cable including: (i) a center conductor, (ii) a first dielectric layer surrounding the center conductor, and (iii) a first conductive sheath coaxial with the center conductor and surrounding the first dielectric layer, the device comprising: a phone plug; and a connector; wherein the connector comprises a first conductor and a second conductor that is electrically separate from the first conductor; wherein the phone plug comprises a first pin comprising a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact that is electrically separate from the first electrical contact; wherein the first pin is located, sized and/or shaped to be removably inserted into a phone jack connector; wherein the first conductor of the connector is electrically connected to the first contact of the phone plug; wherein the second conductor of the connector is electrically connected to the second contact of the phone plug: wherein the connector is sized, shaped and/or structured to electrically and mechanically connect the phone plug to a coaxial cable; wherein the connector comprises a fastener; wherein the fastener is structured, sized, shaped, connected and/or located to slide at least substantially axially with respect to the rest of the connector and the end of the coaxial cable from an unconnected position to a connected position: wherein the fastener is further sized, shaped adapted and/or located so that when it slides into the connected position it will mechanically connect by compression the end of the coaxial cable to the connector and thereby electrically connect the center conductor and first conductive sheath of the coaxial cable respectively to the at least two conductors of the connector.
