    摘要: An apparatus to be introduced into a conduit includes a cable and a fabric sleeve which extends longitudinally along the cable. The sleeve is secured around the cable by complimentary connectors which extend outwardly from the edges of the sleeve. The connectors can take the form of many configurations including a hook and slot, a ball and socket, a hook and loop, and zipper teeth, among others.

    摘要: A communications cable (11) is provided with a pliant sleeve (12, 21, 31) to allow it to be more easily inserted into a conduit. One form of the sleeve (12) has hook (14) and loop (15) connected to each other so that the sleeve (12) can engage the cable (11). Another form of the sleeve (21) is spring-loaded to engage the cable (11). In a third form of the sleeve (31) has an adhesive (33) which attaches the sleeve (31) to the cable (11).

    摘要: A pliant tube is positioned in a duct thereby defining two compartments in the duct, one within the tube and the other between the tube and the duct. A pulling device, such as a pull tape or rope, is provided in each compartment and is adapted to be attached to a cable so that a cable can be pulled into each compartment of the duct.

    摘要: A device to be inserted into a conduit includes at least one tube intended to receive optic fibers or micro fiber optic cables therein. A jacket surrounds the tube. In an embodiment where there are a plurality of tubes, they are loosely aligned within the jacket. In another embodiment, opposed surfaces of the jacket are attached to each other to form compartments for each tube. In still another embodiment, the jacket holds the tubes generally in a bundle. The jacket of a tube may also be attached to one or more innerducts, each of which can receive a fiber optic cable. Alternatively, an innerduct may be attached to two jackets each of which carry a tube therein.

    摘要: Space in a conduit having at least one cable therein which is surrounded by a duct is recovered by longitudinally cutting the duct and removing the duct from around the cable. The duct may be pulled out of the conduit and past a blade to affect the cutting, or a blade may be pulled through the conduit to cut the duct while still in the conduit.

    摘要: A adapter security system adapted to be attached to a cable is taught. The adapter security system includes a wire, at least one adapter that is carried by the wire, and a clamping assembly that is adapted to attach the wire to the cable. The adapter security system provides a means of securing adapters at the location of a presentation while also providing convenient access for the user to the adapters.
