Asset Overview
The pressure tap was introduced by Jerrold Electronics in 1951. It is a metal block that is clamped on the distribution cable (often RG-11 or .412 cable).
The pressure tap had a hole on the bottom that was threaded; this is where the stinger was inserted. After installing the pressure tap on the cable, a tool was used to cut the cable at the hole down to the center of the conductor. Then the stinger was inserted in the hole and tightened with a wrench. The center of the stinger was a sharp metal point that contacted the center conductor. Stingers were available in different values so they could "tap" some signal off the distribution cable.
