<p>A make-before-break switch arrangement and a circuit element are disposed in a connector shell, the shell having an electrically conductive connector contact and being adapted to couple to a coaxial cable having a shield conductor and a center conductor whereby when disconnected from a compatible connector, an electrical signal passes through a first circuit path comprising the shield conductor, the circuit element, the connector contact and the center conductor, but when connected to the compatible connector, the electrical circuit path does not include the circuit element but passes through the center conductor, the connector contact and a contact in the compatible connector with EMI shielding being maintained through the shield conductor, the shell and the barrel of the compatible connector.</p> |
