Abstract

The present invention relates to coupling apparatus for fitting to a conductor or cable. In particular, it refers to high frequency coupling apparatus suitable for telecommunications signals propagated, at least in part, along conventional power distribution cables. Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a coupling apparatus suitable for coupling with an electricity cable (2), where the cable includes an electrically insulated conducting member (1), where the coupling apparatus includes cable insulation penetration means (3) for penetrating the electricity cable to provide an electrical connection to the conducting member, the penetration means (3) being electrically connected to a coupling member (5) suitable for connection to a telecommunications signal source or receiver. In this way, a coupling member suitable for connection to a telecommunications signal source or receiver may be electrically connected to the conducting core of a power cable or other type of conductor.
