Combination locking and radio frequency interference shielding security system for a coaxial cable connector
First Claim
1. A combination locking and radio frequency interference shielding security system for a coaxial cable connector of the type having a female coaxial plug and a male coaxial plug on a coaxial cable, said system comprising:
- (a) a sleeve having an open forward end and a partially covered rearward end, said sleeve sideably disposed onto the coaxial cable;
(b) a head having an internal locking well, said head rotatably affixed to the male coaxial plug so that said well can lockably engage with the female coaxial plug;
(c) means for retaining said head and the male coaxial plug with said sleeve, when said sleeve is pushed over the male coaxial plug and said head whereby said sleeve is rotatable with respect to the male coaxial plug and said head when the male coaxial plug and said head are so retained within said sleeve; and
(d) means for selectively engaging said head with and disengaging said head from the female coaxial plug when said head and the male coaxial plug are retained within said sleeve.

Abstract
A combination locking and radio frequency interference shielding security system for a coaxial cable connector having a female coaxial plug and a male coaxial plug on a coaxial cable is provided and consists of a head rotatably affixed to the male coaxial plug to engage with the female coaxial plug. The head and the male coaxial plug are retained within a sleeve when the sleeve is pushed over the male coaxial plug and the head, whereby the sleeve is rotatable with respect to the male coaxial plug and the head. A tool is also provided for selectively engaging the head with and disengaging the head from the female coaxial plug. The sleeve is fabricated out of a metal having a relatively high mass to act as a shield for radio frequency interference thus preventing leakage therefrom.
