摘要 |
The present invention relates to coupling apparatus for fitting to a conduct or or cable. In particular, it refers to high frequency coupling apparatus suitable for telecommunications signals propagated, at least in part, along conventional power distribution cables. Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a coupling apparatus suitable for coupling with a n electricity cable (2), where the cable includes an electrically insulated conducting member (1), where the coupling apparatus includes cable insulatio n penetration means (3) for penetrating the electricity cable to provide an electrical connection to the conducting member, the penetration means (3) being electrically connected to a coupling member (5) suitable for connectio n to a telecommunications signal source or receiver. In this way, a coupling member suitable for connection to a telecommunications signal source or receiver may be electrically connected to the conducting core of a power cab le or other type of conductor.
