摘要： A method of installing cable on a cable reel that has the steps of providing a cable reel that includes first and second opposing flanges, the first flange having a first hub portion and the second flange having a second hub portion, the first hub portion being longer than the second hub portion, the first hub portion having a plurality of flexible segments; placing a cable coil over the first hub portion and on the first flange so that the first hub portion extends through the cable coil; and inserting the second hub portion inside of the first hub portion, thereby expanding the flexible segments so that flexible segments engage the cable coil.

摘要： A connector assembly that has a connector including a coupling member rotatably coupled to a body, and the coupling member has an interface end configured to engage a mating connector. A gripping sleeve receives at least a portion of the body and at least a portion of the coupling member. A torque limiting feature includes a slip element located at or near the front end of the gripping sleeve and an engaging element located on the coupling member. The slip element and the engaging element engage one another such that rotation of the gripping sleeve applies torque to and rotates the coupling member in a tightening direction until a predetermined torque limit is reached when the slip element disengages from the engaging element allowing the gripping sleeve to rotate with respect to the coupling member such that torque is no longer applied to the coupling member by the gripping sleeve.

摘要： A connector assembly that has a connector including a coupling member rotatably coupled to a body, a gripping sleeve that receives a portion of the body and a portion of the coupling member, and a torque limiting feature associated with one or both of the gripping sleeve and the coupling member. The torque limiting feature has first and second predetermined torque limits. Rotation of the gripping sleeve applies torque to and rotates the coupling member in a tightening direction until the first predetermined torque limit is reached such that no additional torque is applied to the coupling member by the gripping sleeve that is greater than the first predetermined torque limit. The gripping sleeve rotates with respect to coupling member in a loosening direction until the second predetermined torque limit is reached thereby allowing the gripping sleeve to rotate the coupling member in the loosening direction.
