A plug connector system comprises a first plug connector and a second plug connector. The first plug connector includes a first shield defining an engagement portion, with an outer side of the engagement portion having a marking positioned thereon. The second plug connector includes a second shield defining a receiving portion for receiving the engagement portion of the first shield. The receiving portion includes an opening formed therethrough and positioned such that the marking of the first plug connector can be arranged entirely within the region of the opening in a mated state of the first and second plug connectors.

An adapter for coupling a coaxial interface to a power conductor and method for interconnection may be provided as a body with a conductor junction dimensioned to couple with the power conductor and a mating surface dimensioned to couple with the coaxial interface. The conductor junction, an outer conductor contacting portion of the mating surface and an inner conductor contacting portion of the mating surface are electrically coupled together by the body.

An RF connector is provided. The connector includes a first socket member. The first socket member includes a conductive sleeve comprising a top portion, a bottom portion, and a plurality of springs connecting the top portion and the bottom portion. The first socket member also includes a base inside the conductive sleeve comprising a first matching hole configured to match to a first conductive pin of a first plug member. The connector also includes a second socket member. The second socket member includes a second matching hole configured to match to a second conductive pin of a second plug member, and a conductive body having outer threads configured to match to inner threads of the second plug member. The connector further includes a middle portion connected between the first socket member and the second socket member, the middle portion extending radically outwardly from a periphery of the middle portion.

A board-to-board radio frequency coaxial connector includes an adapter, a clamping socket including a first outer conductor, a first inner conductor, and a first insulator, and a fixed socket including a second outer conductor, a second inner conductor, and a second insulator. The clamping socket and the fixed socket are respectively arranged at two ends of the adaptor. The adapter includes a third outer conductor, a third inner conductor, and two third insulators. The two third insulators are respectively arranged at two ends of the third inner conductors and sleeved on an outside of the third inner conductor. Each of the two third insulators includes a body portion and an auxiliary portion. The body portion includes a second groove recessed inwardly from its outer circumferential surface. Two ends of the third outer conductor are respectively electrically connected to the first and second outer conductors.

A differential pin to RF adaptor includes a center conductor contact with an RF connector on one end and a signal contact on the other end. An insulating sleeve surrounds the central contact. A reference contact surrounds the insulating sleeve. The signal pin of the differential pair interfaces with the center conductor contact of the RF connector. The adaptor is structured to slide down over a pair of pins/leads so that the reference contact abuts a circuit board attached to the pins. The pins/leads are shielded all the way to the circuit board, which shields/isolates the pins from common mode and other types of interference. The adaptor maintains the shape of the signal pin and the reference pin during testing. The adaptor maintains a fixed impedance of the pins, which reduces or eliminates uncontrolled impedance and hence preserves system frequency response and reduces/eliminates erroneous ripple currents.

The present disclosure describes a cable support bracket. The cable support bracket may include a base configured to be mounted to an antenna, the base comprising a plurality of apertures, each aperture configured to receive a cable hanger; a cable guide having a generally arced outer profile, wherein the cable guide is coupled to or integral with the base and extends outwardly from one end of the base; and a plurality of cable hangers, each cable hanger secured in a respective aperture in the base. The cable support bracket may further include a bridge removably attached to the base, the bridge having a plurality of apertures, each bridge aperture configured to receive a respective cable hanger; and a second plurality of cable hangers, each cable hanger secured in a respective aperture in the bridge. Antenna assemblies and methods for organizing coaxial cable connections at a base station antenna are also provided.

A plug connector for transmitting high-frequency signals includes a cable, a contact and a connecting element. The cable has a free end. The contact is mounted on the free end of the cable, and has a free contact end on a side facing away from the cable. The connecting element is disposed between the contact and the cable, and, in an assembled state, is fixedly connected to the contact and to the cable. The connecting element has a first portion with a first outer diameter on a side facing the contact and a second portion with a second outer diameter on a side facing the cable, the second outer diameter being larger than the first outer diameter. The first portion includes a third portion that has, at least in some regions of the third portion, an outer diameter corresponding to the second outer diameter.

A plug connector system comprises a first plug connector and a second plug connector. The first plug connector includes a first shield defining an engagement portion, with an outer side of the engagement portion having a marking positioned thereon. The second plug connector includes a second shield defining a receiving portion for receiving the engagement portion of the first shield. The receiving portion includes an opening formed therethrough and positioned such that the marking of the first plug connector can be arranged entirely within the region of the opening in a mated state of the first and second plug connectors.

A tap adapter configured to removably couple a coaxial cable connector with a cable tap includes a body, a nut extending about the body, a retaining ring configured to couple the body with the nut, and a collet disposed in the body. The nut includes a first end configured to receive a coaxial cable connector. The collet has a first end configured to receive a center conductor of a cable terminated by the coaxial cable connector and a second end configured to be coupled with a port of a cable tap. The collet is configured to provide an electrical connection between the center conductor and the port of the cable tap. The nut is configured to rotate relative to the body and to slide axially relative to the body as limited by the retaining ring. The tap adapter permits the coaxial cable connector to be removed from the tap adapter while the tap adapter remains mechanically coupled with the cable tap and the second end of the collet remains mechanically and electrically coupled with the port.

A board to board connector assembly (1) includes a first connector (2) suitable to be arranged on a first printed circuit board (3) and a second connector (4) suitable to be arranged on a second printed circuit board (5). An adapter (6) is arranged in a mounted position between and interconnected to the first and the second connector (2, 4). The adapter (6) includes an adapter inner conductor (7) and an adapter outer conductor (8). The adapter outer conductor (8) is arranged separate from the adapter inner conductor (7) and comprises a bore (18) in which the adapter inner conductor (7) is arranged.
