Abstract:
A communication plug including a plug body, a cavity in the plug body, the cavity having a first portion, a second portion and a third portion, a load bar having a plurality of openings on a front face of the load bar, where the cavity is sized to engage the load bar such that the load bar directs at least one wire inserted into a corresponding opening in the load bar into channels in the plug.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a reinforced electrical wire including a metal lead wire, a serving enclosing the periphery of the metal lead wire, and a reinforcing device. The reinforcing device is embedded in the serving, a part of the reinforcing device is located in the serving, and the other part of the reinforcing device is exposed at the outside of the serving.
Abstract:
A dismounting device for a cable for dismounting the cable from a wall includes a force receiving member, a sleeve member, an adapter member and a securing element. The sleeve member is mechanically connected to the force receiving member. Each of the adapter member and the securing element is mechanically connected to the sleeve member. The cable is connected to the wall via the adapter member in a mechanically dismountable manner. Furthermore, dismounting of the cable occurs by the flow of force from the adapter member via the securing element onto the sleeve member and from the sleeve member onto the force receiving member.
Abstract:
Reduced-pair Ethernet patch cords include a twisted pair cable that has a pair of insulated conductors that are contained within a cable jacket. A connector is mounted on a first end of the cable. The connector includes a connector housing and a strain relief unit that is mounted on the cable at the interface between the cable and the connector housing. The strain relief unit includes a plurality of internal protrusions that contact the cable jacket.
Abstract:
Power cables that include plug housings having an improved appearance as well as employ a halogen-free cable while providing adequate fire resistance. One example provides a power cable having cable plug with a substantially unitary body. Another example provides a power cable that is formed using halogen-free materials. To provide adequate fire protection, a strain relief formed using multiple materials is used.
Abstract:
A strain relief and cable retention assembly for retaining a cable to a casing includes an anchor made of a flexible material. An internal bore along an axis of the anchor is sized to fit an outer jacket of the cable. Tabs extend away from the bore along axes perpendicular to the axis of the bore. A plate made of a stiff material extends along the tabs of the anchor. A section of the anchor passes through the plate such that the plate rests flat against the tabs between the tabs and a face of a casing. Reinforcing fibers from the cable are tied around the plate and the tabs, distributing stress from the cable to the plate and casing.
Abstract:
A waterproof structure of an electronic unit includes a case that defines a housing portion housing a first terminal, and a connector that includes an insulating body attached to the case. The connector includes a second terminal that is supported by the insulating body and connects a conductor end portion of a cable to the first terminal. The insulating body includes a wall portion that partitions a part of the housing portion by covering an open portion of the case. The insulating body includes a cable lead-in portion that defines a cable lead-in hole for leading the cable into the case and is joined to the wall portion. A potting resin is filled in a space between the inner periphery of the cable lead-in hole and the outer periphery of the cable and the housing portion and cured.
Abstract:
An active electric cable assembly suitable for high speed communication (e.g., 10 Gbit/sec) between electronic devices, such as but not limited to a peripheral device (e.g., storage device, docking station, etc.) and a computing platform expansion bus. (e.g., supporting the standards and specifications associated with the trade name Thunderbolt®). In embodiments, through holes, embossments, mechanical stops, micro-coaxial single wires, thermal pads, and dielectric film sheets are utilized in a robust cable assembly.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a connector assembly for connecting a wire to a device of a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes providing a wire having a termination and providing a first shell having a first proximal end, a first distal end, and a first passage extending from the first proximal end to the first distal end. The method further includes coupling the first shell to the wire such that the wire extends into the first passage through the first proximal end, wherein the first shell is displaceable along the wire relative to the termination.
Abstract:
An electrical device including an electrical power cord secured to a base of the electrical device by using a plug having a pair of resilient prongs. The plug is inserted into an opening in the base to secure a strain reliever on an end of the electrical power cord into the opening. The resilient prongs flex towards each other when the plug is inserted into the opening. The prongs return to their original positions after passing through the opening and seat the plug in the opening. When seated, the plug secures the strain reliever into the opening thereby securing the electrical power cord to the base.
