A novel, reliable, easy-to-install terminator device assembly for cable ports is provided. Such a terminator device includes the necessary sufficiently high resistance element to prevent reflectance of signals through a cable system as well as means to permit push-on (axial) installation on a threaded cable port. Additionally, the novel terminator device includes a metal contact basket with internal extensions that allow for such axial installation but are aligned in such a manner as to contact with the port threads to prevent removal through axial movement. Such internal extensions are also aligned uniformly around the subject port such that the ends of each internal extension exhibit flanges that will follow the helical edge of the threaded port when turned. In this manner, terminators may be provided that are easy to install and can withstand vibrational forces and other detrimental actions that could permit movement and/or removal of the terminator assembly from the subject port. A method of providing a suitable port termination for improved cable system signal strength is also encompassed within this invention. |
