Abstract:
Cables boxes and cable distribution systems securely store and route network cables of different types and/or security classifications. More specifically, a service cable box can include one or more chambers that can secure secondary network cables of one or more types and/or classifications. The service cable box can have secure and unsecure connection chambers. Accordingly, the service cable box can segregate network connections of different types and/or security classifications and can selectively provide secured access thereto.
Abstract:
Cable assemblies having a connector, a cable and a label along with methods for making the same are disclosed. The label (120) is attached to the cable assembly near the connector (100) and wraps about a portion of the cable (112) in the stored position and is extendable from the cable in an elongated position. Consequently, the label provides the craft with a suitable length for marking information, but the label moves to convenient storage position when not in use.
Abstract:
An electrical connector housing including a main housing member and at least one protective wafer. The main housing member has a contact locating area. Opposite sides of the contact locating area include slots for receiving opposite end portions of insertable wafers. The at least one protective wafer is configured to be located in the contact locating area and includes opposite end portions adapted to be matingly slid into a pair of the slots. The protective wafer has a top side configured to project above top ends of contacts located in the contact locating area. The protective wafer and the main housing member are sized and shaped to combine to help prevent a user's finger from contacting the top ends of the contacts located in the contact locating area.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a two-part cable connector (200). The connector includes two parts (210, 220) that when mate together the outer shape and dimensions of the connector (200) are compatible to an outer shape and dimensions of a cable connector of a known standard. The first connector part (210) terminated at an end of a communication cord (230) and the second connector part (220) detachably connected to the first connector part to enable separation of said second part from said first part. The second connector part of the cable connector is insertable into a communication port (406) and comprises an identification number to uniquely identify the communication port.
