METHOD FOR CODING FLEXIBLE CO-AXIAL CABLE CONNECTORS
A method for identifying flexible co-axial cable connectors by connection type has been developed. The method includes marking the co-axial connector with a colored indicator and marking the proper receptor with a matching colored indicator.
1 . A method for identifying coaxial connectors, comprising:
step for identifying a type of flexible co-axial cable connector with a colored indicator; and
step for identifying a matching receptor for the connector with a matching colored indicator.
2 . A method for identifying coaxial connectors, comprising:
providing a connector for a flexible co-axial cable with a colored indicator; and
providing a receptor matched to the connector with a matching colored indicator.
3 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator is a stripe around the circumference of the connector.
4 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are black to indicate a 18 GHz N-Type connector.
5 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are brown to indicate a 18 GHz SMA connector.
6 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are red to indicate a 20.0 GHz Precision N-Type connector.
7 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are orange to indicate a 26.5 GHz 3.5 mm connector.
8 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are yellow to indicate a 40 GHz 2.92 mm (K) connector.
9 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are green to indicate a 50 GHz 2.4 mm connector.
10 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are blue to indicate a 67 GHz 1.85 mm (V) connector.
11 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are violet to indicate a 18 GHz GPC-7 connector.
12 . The method of claim 2 , where the colored indicator of the connector and the matching colored indicator of the receptor are white to indicate a 110 GHz 1.0 mm (W) connector.
