Abstract:
A visual check connector comprising a body having a top surface, and a bottom surface and at least one terminal disposed within the body. The connector has at least one chamber configured to accept a wire adjacent at least one terminal, wherein the chamber can be viewed through the bottom surface of the connector that is transparent and a non-transparent feature positioned proximate the top surface, wherein the feature prevents viewing of the chamber.
Abstract:
An ethernet cable connector for coupling an ethernet cable and providing contact between insulated wires of the ethernet cable and insulation displacement contacts within the connector. The connector includes an inner body having a clamp, a plurality of holes and a plurality of recesses transverse to the plurality of holes. Each hole receives a wire of an ethernet cable. The outer body is operatively coupled to the inner body and is configured to couple insulation displacement contacts within the outer body. The insertion of the inner body within the outer body bends the wires of the ethernet cable to rest within the plurality of recesses of the inner body, engages the insulation displacement contacts with the ethernet wires and compresses the clamp around a portion of the ethernet cable, thereby providing strain reduction to the ethernet wires.
Abstract:
A configurable enclosure including a cover portion operably attached to a base portion, the base portion including a wall disposed along a perimeter of a bottom surface, and a removable portion of the bottom surface configured to be peeled away from the base portion to create an opening on the bottom surface is provided. Moreover, an enclosure having a cover portion operably attached to a base portion, the base portion including a wall disposed around a perimeter of a bottom surface, a thin section of the bottom surface located proximate an outer edge of a removable portion of the bottom surface, an actuator operably attached to the removable portion, wherein through actuation of the actuator, the removable portion peels away from the bottom surface to create an opening on the base portion is also provided. Furthermore, an associated method is also provided.
Abstract:
A high definition multimedia interface connector comprising a connector body having an extension configured to be inserted into a high definition multimedia interface receptacle, and at least one projection on an outer surface of the extension to facilitate releasable engagement of the plug with a standard high definition multimedia receptacle. A corresponding method of releasably securing a high definition multimedia interface plug to a standard high definition multimedia interface receptacle is also provided.
Abstract:
A coaxial cable connector, comprising an outer body having a first end and a second end, the outer body configured to mate with a port, and an inner body having a first end and a second, the inner body configured to radially surround a portion of a coaxial cable, wherein the outer body is moveable with respect to the inner body between a first position in which the connector is not mounted to the port and a second position when the connector is mounted to the equipment port, wherein, in the first position, an indicator portion is not visible, wherein, in the second position, the indicator portion is visible is provided. An associated method is also provided.
Abstract:
A tool for changing first and second parts of a connector from a pre-assembly relationship into an assembled relationship. The tool is portable and has a frame with an operating mechanism thereon. The operating mechanism has a plunger that is movable to thereby change the relationship of the connector parts. The operating mechanism is operable by a pressurized fluid within a container that is connected to the frame.
Abstract:
A method of assembling a coaxial cable connector comprising positioning a portion of a post within a body, the post including a flange; positioning a coupler, axially rotatable with respect to the post and the connector body, the coupler having a first end configured for coupling to an interface port and an opposing second end, and an internal lip having a first surface facing the first end of the coupler and a second surface facing the second end of the coupler; positioning a continuity member axially rearward of the second surface of the internal lip of the coupler; and wherein at least a portion of the continuity member is configured to extend about an external surface of the connector body and reside axially rearward of the coupler between the coupler and the connector body.
Abstract:
A coaxial cable connector includes an outer body having a first end and an opposing second end, an inner body having a first inner end and a second inner end, and a post interconnected with the inner body. A fastener portion is at the first end of the outer body. A compression sleeve is disposed to fit on the second inner end. The post, the inner body, and the compression sleeve are movable with respect to the outer body between a first position in which the connector is not mounted to an equipment port and a second position when the connector is mounted to the equipment port. When the fastener portion is mounted to the equipment port, an indicator portion on the compression sleeve is made visible to a user.
