GRS series 3-piece trunk and distribution connectors
Trunk and Distribution connectors are used in low power RF, video, data signals and system power broadband systems. Chassis mounting connectors are used in 5/8 24 equipment entry through independent seizing of the center conductor, the installer can verify the center conductor has been seized prior to tightening the back nut. Placement of the integral mandrel of the connector in the main nut provides a full view of the center conductor’s entrance into the seizing mechanism and requires minimal pull back for ease of installation. The GRS connectors have a center conductor cutting guide and are reusable.

G2 series 2-piece trunk and distribution connectors
Developed in response for a need of an intelligent two-piece connector that will provide superior performance, while eliminating the common disadvantages of traditional 2-piece designs. It is the only two-piece connector on the market that gives installers a full view of the cable's center conductor insertion in to the connector seizing mechanism. It provides a patented support sleeve located in the back nut of the connector, minimizing cable "pull back". The Tri-Start thread system (patent pending) minimizes the required back nut rotations when tightening the connector. The G2 connectors have a center conductor cutting guide and are reusable.

trunk and distribution adapters
Adapters are essential components to configure equipment for aerial and underground applications and are used to change the direction of the cable where space is limited or where tight bends are required. Our adapters allow room to economize the enclosures installed on municipal and customer properties. They eliminate the need for excess splicing in system rebuilds and reduce the number of cables damaged through tight bending radiuses and other installation challenges.

"F" series connectors
"F" -connectors allow a coaxial cable to maintain a 75-ohm impedance. They are used with 59, 6, 7 and 11 cable series. Use of "F" connectors helps avoid impedance problems with interfaces and splices. 59 and 6 "F" connectors are available in a convenient feed-through design. 7 and 11 connectors have an internal pin contact that mate to female ports. Corning Gilbert's UltraSeal®, UltraRange™ and UltraEase® series of compression connectors have the lowest activation force available in a high performance compression connector, excellent RF shielding integrity and a complete seal to the cable jacket locking out moisture.  Designed to accept 60% through Quad shield cables, our family of compression connectors combine ease of installation with superior performance including 360 degree contact to the cable, excellent RF shielding, and a complete seal to the cable jack that locks out moisture. They maintain good electrical and mechanical properties and are installed with a crimp tool.

"F" series terminators and accessories
Our "F" series terminators are passive electronic circuitry designed to block 60 cycle and terminate RF signals on unused equipment ports. They are necessary to prevent impedance mismatches and minimize RF reflections and echoes. Unused active ports on trunk or feeder equipment should have a terminator installed. Corning Gilbert offers a wide variety of terminators and drop accessories for a range of applications.

tools
The construction and maintenance of CATV systems requires the use of proper tools to insure consistent dimensions and reduction of nicks in center conductors. They also simplify installation time and reduce systems problems.
