Abstract: A cable connector includes: a support portion that is structurally configured to move relative to a cable gripping portion when a first connector portion moves relative to a second connector portion; an indicator portion that is structurally configured to indicate an amount of radial compression of a cable gripping portion when the second connector portion moves in an axial direction; and the indicator portion is structurally configured to provide a visual stop indicator reference point when the second connector portion moves in the axial direction and when the first connector portion is coupled with the second connector portion such that the cable gripping portion grips the cable with a predetermined amount of radial force based on an outer diameter portion of the cable so as to allow an installer to use the visual stop indicator reference point to prevent under-tightening and/or over-tightening of the connector on the cable.

Abstract: A coupler configured to cover an exposed portion of an optical fiber in a jacketless portion of a fiber optic cable and mechanically couple the fiber optic cable with a fiber optic connector includes a cover portion that may be configured to be disposed around a fiber optic cable. A jacketless portion of the cable may extend along a length of the cable between a jacketed portion of the cable and a fiber optic connector; the cover portion may be configured to provide a mechanical connection between the cable and the fiber optic connector so as to enhance a connection of the fiber optic connector to the cable; and the cover portion may be configured to protect an exposed portion of an optical fiber that extends through the jacketless portion of the cable so as to so as to enhance a connection of the fiber optic connector to the cable.

Abstract: A seal assembly for a port of an enclosure may include a first body portion that may include a sealing member, and a second body portion structurally configured to include an engagement portion. The sealing member may include a receiving portion that is structurally configured to receive a terminated cable, and the engagement portion may be structurally configured to urge a closing portion of the sealing member against the terminated cable to form a liquid-tight seal around the terminated cable when the first portion and the second portion are coupled together in a closed position. The first and second body portions may be structurally configured to move relative to one another between an open position and the closed position such that the seal arrangement is structurally configured to permit a cable terminated with a connector to be inserted into and/or removed from the sealing member and the port with the connector attached to the cable when the first and second body structure segments are in the open position.

Abstract: Embodiments provide an attachment device configured to attach a conduit to a support and to relieve strain on the conduit, including: a body portion; and a protruding portion extending from the body portion. The body portion may have a first end and a second end, wherein the second end may be opposite to the first end along a length of the body portion. The protruding portion may extend from the body portion by a depth in a direction of a thickness of the body portion. The protruding portion may extend along the longitudinal direction of the body portion. The protruding portion may be structurally configured to engage a conduit to prevent movement of the conduit relative to the attachment device in a direction of a height of the attachment device so as to relieve strain on the conduit resulting from a hanging weight of the conduit.

Abstract: An enclosure may be structurally configured to provide a sealed enclosure at multiple positions of a cover portion relative to a base portion. The enclosure may include a base portion having a base wall portion, a cover portion structurally configured to attach the base portion and including a cover wall portion, and a sealing portion structurally configured to be positioned between the cover wall portion and the base wall portion. The base wall portion and the cover wall portion may be configured to be disposed in a configuration such that base wall angle and the cover wall angle may be configured to provide a weatherproof seal between the cover wall portion and the base wall portion at multiple positions of the cover portion relative to the base portion, so as to provide a sealed enclosure at multiple positions of the cover portion relative to the base portion.

Abstract: A container system for protecting a component from impact includes a container configured to contain a second container therein with a cover of the second container being adjacent to a cover of the container. An impact reducing portion is configured to extend from an outer surface of the cover of the container in a direction away from the cover of the second container; the impact reducing portion is configured to deform in response to an impact force on the impact reducing portion that is less than a minimum impact force in response to which the cover is configured to deform; and the impact reducing portion is structurally configured to prevent an impact force on the impact reducing portion that is less than the minimum impact force from being transferred to the second container so as to protect the second container and an electronic component container in the second container.

Abstract: A connector includes: a first portion; a second portion; and a cable gripping portion. The cable gripping portion is structurally configured to allow rotation of the cable gripping portion relative to the second portion in a second rotational direction to permit tightening of the second portion to a third portion; and the cable gripping portion is structurally configured to engage the second portion to prevent the cable gripping portion from rotating relative to the second portion in a first rotational direction so as to permit a coaxial cable to be rotated relative to the cable gripping portion while inserting the coaxial cable into the connector.
