Abstract: A bundle spacer that includes a first line connector to be connected to a first electrical line, a second line connector to be connected to a second electrical line, and a body interposed between the first line connector and the second line connector. The body is actuatable to provide a variable distance between the first line connector and the second line connector and the first electrical line and the second electrical line connected thereto. It is to be appreciated that the bundle spacer may be constructed/configured with more than two line connectors for association with more than two electrical lines.

Abstract: A terminal closure to enclose a drop connection. A closure base and a closure cover mate to define an interior space of the terminal closure. A movable cap is located on the closure cover. While in a closed position, the cap and an associated portion of the closure cover bound a volume. A grommet is located within the volume. The grommet includes an internal bore to receive a plug or a drop cable. The grommet has an outer periphery boundary that is at least as large as the volume bounded by the cap and the portion of the closure cover such that the grommet is sealingly engaged by the cap and the portion of the closure cover when the cap is in the closed position. There may be a plurality of port openings arranged in rows, each row being at a respective, different distance from a mount side wall.

Abstract: A cable enclosure includes a housing defining an opening through which an interior of the housing is accessible. An end plate is releasably secured to the housing to cover the opening such that the interior of the housing is not accessible. The end plate includes a first conductive leg in electrical communication with a first cable within the housing. The end plate also includes a second conductive leg in electrical communication with a second cable within the housing. The end plate further includes a conductive member movable between a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the conductive member is in contact with the first conductive leg and the second conductive leg. When in the second position, the conductive member is not in contact with at least one of the first conductive leg or the second conductive leg.

Abstract: A clamp for suspending a wire includes a housing having an inner support surface. The wire is disposed between the inner support surface and a keeper. The clamp further includes a fastening unit, including a first fastener and a second fastener attachable to the first fastener. The housing defines an opening extending in a direction along which the wire is received within the housing. After the second fastener is attached to the first fastener, the fastening unit is not removable from the housing. The fastening unit is movable, within the opening, between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the fastening unit cooperates with the keeper to decrease a distance between the inner support surface and the keeper. In the second position, the fastening unit does not cooperate with the keeper to decrease the distance.

Abstract: A cable enclosure includes a housing defining an opening through which an interior of the housing is accessible. The cable enclosure also includes an end plate assembly that, when attached to the housing, covers the opening such that the interior of the housing is not accessible. The cable enclosure further includes a mechanism attached to at least one of the housing or the end plate assembly and that selectively attaches the end plate assembly to the housing. When the mechanism in a first position, the end plate assembly is attached to the housing and when the mechanism is in a second position, the end plate assembly is not attached to the housing.

Abstract: A cable spacer for maintaining positions of a plurality of cables relative to each other is provided. The cable spacer includes a frame, a hanger and a plurality of clamps that couple the plurality of cables to the frame to maintain the positions of the plurality of cables relative to each other. A first clamp includes a receiver with a first arcuate surface, and a keeper that is adjustably coupled to the receiver to be adjusted from a first position to a second position to interfere with removal of the region of the first cable from the first concave pocket. A locking system adjusts the keeper from the first position to the second position relative to the receiver, and maintains the keeper in the second position to exert a compressive force on the first cable, urging the first cable into the first concave pocket.
