Systems and methods of using a multiport assembly and associated components are disclosed. The multiport assembly can include a multiport device that communicatively couples multiple sets or pairs of connectors, such as optical connectors or electrical connectors, together. The multiport assembly can also include an auxiliary port device that couples to the multiport device to expand the capacity of the multiport assembly. Both the multiport and auxiliary port devices can be selectively configured to receive specific types of connectors by selectively coupling to different types of adapters, where the types of adapters correspond to the types of connectors. When coupled to the multiport or auxiliary port devices, the adapters facilitate the formation of the communication between its corresponding set of connectors.

The present invention provides a coaxial connector capable of reducing harness processing steps. A coaxial connector includes a contact by three-point contact, a housing including a first and a second connection base, and a shell including a cylindrical portion accommodating the first connection base and an extension portion accommodating the second connection base. The central conductor of a cable is placed on an installation surface of a contact located in a predetermined part of a housing, and a crimp housing with a slot cut out to allow pressure on the periphery of the center conductor is used. The crimp housing is held in the housing and enclosed and tightened by a pair of crimp barrels (the first barrel) provided in the shell. This allows the central conductor to be securely crimped to the installation surface of the contact.

The shield member includes a plurality of first elastic portions made of a conductive material and arranged annularly in a plate shape at an inner circumferential part of the shield member; a plurality of second elastic portions arranged annularly at an outer circumferential part of the shield member; and an intermediate portion between the plurality of first elastic portions and the plurality of second elastic portions. The plurality of first elastic portions are defined by a plurality of first slits each extending from an inner circumferential edge of the shield member in a radial direction of the shield member. The plurality of second elastic portions are defined by a plurality of second slits each extending from an outer circumferential edge of the shield member in the radial direction.

Provided is a connector that can achieve improvement in strength, improvement in shape accuracy, a reduction in the number of components, and a reduction in the number of steps required for assembly. A connector for connecting an external substrate and an external cable to each other includes: a metal casing having a ground terminal part electrically connected to and fitted into an external substrate-side connector mounted to the substrate and a fitting part into which the cable is fitted, and the ground terminal part and the fitting part are integrally formed.

A connector and shielding ring for use with the connector includes a male portion with a shroud and a center conductor and a female portion with a jack and a socket positioned to receive the center conductor. A conductive shielding ring is positioned between the mated connector portions. The shielding ring has a body configured for surrounding flexible tines of the female portion jack and is configured to be captured between the tines and the shroud for providing a grounding path between the male and female portions of the connector. The shielding ring body has an inner surface with a diameter and an outer surface with a diameter and has a taper portion formed on a distal end of the shielding ring body for engaging a surface of the shroud. The shielding ring body has a lip extending radially inwardly at the proximal end for engaging the tines of the female portion when the male and female portions of the connector are mated.

A guarded coaxial cable assembly provides at least one bundled electrical cable with first and second concentrically aligned conductors, the bundle encapsulated in a flexible jacket that is abrasion resistant and wherein with respect to a jacket cross-section a height of the jacket is smaller than a width of the jacket.
