Abstract
A locking terminator device for a coax cable port is used for preventing ingress of electrical signals into the port and also to prevent theft of cable signals by non-subscribers. The device of the present invention includes an outer terminator housing, an inner connector housing having two slots for receiving the tabbed tool feet of a specialized tool, and a terminator having a resistor post, a cylindrical body, and a conical end. The device provides for a tamper-resistant terminator by having a specialized tool with two tabbed feet that are spread outwardly when pressed against the conical end of the terminator to engage the slots of the inner connector body. Once the slots are engaged the tool can be used to lock or unlock the locking terminator device to a cable port of a tap assembly.
