ABSTRACT: The coaxial connectors covered by this document provide the interface between coaxial aluminum sheath trunk and distribution cables and other broadband components equipped with 5/8 - 24 ports as described in Society of Cable Television Engineers (SCTE) documents IPS-SP-500, IPS-SP-501, and IPS-SP-502.

These connectors are intended for field application. This document outlines the view of Telcordia on generic requirements for coaxial hardline connectors intended for the termination of coaxial aluminum sheath trunk and distribution cables and other broadband network components.
