Proxy

A device or program that stands in between a server (for example, a web

site) and a client (your browser), providing a way to relieve some of the

burden from the server. For example, your cable company may have a web

proxy that keeps copies of popular web pages; the proxy can send you those

pages instead of fetching them directly from the web site, resulting in faster

page loading and less network congestion.

RF

cable” and the connectors as “RF connectors.”
