摘要:
A cover is releasably secured to a fitting base. The fitting base includes a bottom and sidewalls with a top edge. The cover includes a top having a latch receiving area, a bottom opposite the top and a sliding latch. The sliding latch is positioned on the latch receiving area of the cover. The sliding latch includes a first end with a finger tab, a main body and a second end with locking feet. In the closed position, the sliding latch secures the cover to the cable fitting base.
摘要:
A joint compound for electrical connections is disclosed which includes an antioxidant base material and a quantity of stainless steel grit mixed with the antioxidant base material to provide improved mechanical pullout strength. The joint compound has a weight ratio of antioxidant to stainless steel grit in the range of from about 30:70 to about 90:10, preferably, from about 40:60 to about 70:30, and more preferably about 50:50. The stainless steel grit is cut wire having a diameter within the range of from about 0.3048 mm to about 3.17 mm, with a preferred diameter within the range of from about 0.304 mm to about 0.762 mm, and 0.431 mm being a more preferred stainless steel grit diameter. In a method for forming an electrical connection between electrical components, a joint compound as described is applied to mating surfaces of either a suitable connector, the components to be coupled together, or both. The connector is then crimped to the components, for example a wire and grounding rod, such that the joint compound is sandwiched between mating surfaces of the components and the grit penetrates the mating surfaces.
摘要:
Communication wires are provided with insulated corrugated conductors. The corrugated conductors have ridges and depressions, such that air gaps are provided between insulation and the outer surfaces of the wires in the regions of the depressions. In some embodiments, the ridges and depressions form a sine wave profile in cross-section. The insulation may be provided with corrugations, and the corrugations of the insulation may align with the corrugations of the conductors. Several wires may be combined into a communication cable.
