Abstract:
A low profile in-line splice for coaxial cables is described for making an electrical connection between the metallic contacts of the coaxial cable splice and to the inner and outer coaxial cable conductors is described herein. The exemplary low-profile coaxial cable splice device includes an inner conductive sleeve disposed concentrically within and spaced apart from an outer Cconductive sleeve and an outer housing disposed over the outer conductive sleeve. At least one of the inner conductive sleeve and the outer conductive sleeve includes a pair of hyperbolic contact regions separated by a bridging region.
Abstract:
A cable routing system is described. More specifically, described is a cable routing system that includes a main fiber channel configured to receive a drop fiber to allow it to fit within the main fiber channel, where the channel is surrounded by a discontinuous segmented duct, and the duct comprises a continuous flange structure to provide support for the system as it is installed on or fastened to a wall or other generally flat surface.

Abstract:
A duct for distributing one or more optical fiber communication lines. The duct comprises an elongated main body having a length and a conduit portion with a lengthwise bore formed therein. The conduit portion contains one or more optical fiber communications lines. The duct also includes a flange portion extending lengthwise adjacent the main body to mount the duct to a generally flat surface, wherein the duct further includes an additional fiber channel for distributing at least one additional optical fiber at least a portion of the length of the duct. The duct can also be formed as a two piece duct system. The duct can be utilized in a drop access location system for horizontal cabling in multi-dwelling unit (MDU) applications.
Abstract:
An adhesive-backed duct has a main body having a conduit portion with a cavity formed longitudinally therethrough and a flange portion having an adhesive backing layer to mount the duct to a mounting surface. A septum is disposed within the cavity portion and defines at least two bore potions.
