Abstract:
A cover system (103) for covering an electrical connection between first and second electrical cables (40, 50) each having a primary conductor (42, 52) and a neutral conductor (46, 56), includes a neutral connector (62) and a neutral connector cover (160). The neutral connector (62) is configured to mechanically and electrically connect the neutral conductors (46, 56) of the first and second electrical cables (40, 50). The neutral connector cover (160) has a cavity (166). The neutral connection cover (160) is configured to receive the neutral connector (62) in the cavity (166) to protect the neutral connector (62).
Abstract:
A pressure housing assembly according to exemplary aspects includes: a saddle assembly configured to encase a midpoint access section of a cable; and a pressure housing configured to be mounted on the saddle assembly. The saddle assembly has a first cable SSTL tube opening where a first seal member is provided; and a second cable SSTL tube opening where a second seal member is provided. The pressure housing has a corresponding first cable SSTL tube opening where a third seal member is provided; a second cable SSTL tube opening where a fourth seal member is provided; and a port configured to allow at least one penetrator to be inserted therethrough. The saddle assembly comprises a seal block configured to at least partially surround the midpoint access section of the cable.
Abstract:
An example device in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure includes a splice housing body comprising a raceway within which optical fibers and electrical cables can be positioned, at least one port through the splice housing body to which a pressure fitting for optical fiber or electrical cable can be mounted, a base to which the splice housing body may be removably attached, and a port in one of the splice housing body or base for inserting fluid in the splice housing body.
Abstract:
Stripping structure (10) strips insulation from ends of a plurality of leads (14) of a lead bundle (12). Each lead (14) includes a conductor member (16) coated with the insulation (18). The structure (10) includes a housing (22) having wall structure defining a stripping chamber (26), an inlet (24) in fluid communication with the stripping chamber (26), and an outlet (28) in fluid communication with the stripping chamber (26). A cover (32) has an opening (30) for receiving an end of the lead bundle (12) in a sealing manner so that the leads (14) thereof are received in the stripping chamber (26). Stripping fluid (36) is in communication with the inlet (24). When the lead bundle (12) is received through the opening (30) with the leads (14) in the stripping chamber (26) and when the stripping fluid (36) is provided though inlet (24) and in the stripping chamber (26), the stripping fluid (36) strips the insulation (18) from the conductor members (16), with the stripping fluid (36)along with stripped insulation (18) exiting through the outlet (28).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for machining an electrical cable having a cylindrical part and a conical part adjoining the cylindrical part. The device comprising a fixture (10) arranged to receive the cable and to hold the cable in a fixed position, the fixture defines an elongated space (15) for accommodating the cable, a tool (17) for removing material from the cable including at least one cutter (22), and rotational guiding means (25) for guiding a first rotation of the cutter about a longitudinal axis of said space. The cutter is elongated and the longitudinal axis of the cutter is arranged inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of said space so that the angle between the longitudinal axes of the cutter and the space is between 10 and 80 degrees. The device further comprises drive means (24) for providing a second rotation of the cutter about a rotational axis through the tool in order to cause the machining, and the cutter is adapted to be in contact with the surface of the conical part of the cable as well as the transition between the cylindrical part and the conical part during the machining.
Abstract:
A device is used to sever an electrical power cable for the transmission of high voltage. The cable has an insulation sheath, a screening layer and a conductive layer. The device includes a first frame having a first cutting blade mounted thereon, a second frame, and a measuring device mounted on the second frame. The first cutting blade is moveable relative to the measuring device. The measuring device is capable of measuring an electrical load on the electrical power cable and capable of terminating the severing of the electrical power cable. A method of using the device is also provided.
Abstract:
A device used to secure a section of cable while one or more fiber is broken out from the cable. The device includes spaced apart clamp assemblies that hold a cable during the splicing process to protect the fairly delicate fibers within th sheathing. The disclosure also relates to a method of splicing using a clamp assembly.
Abstract:
A hydraulic compression tool for securing a compression type cable connector to a prepared end of a coaxial cable. The tool can include a hydraulic assembly having an axially extendable ram, and a connector frame detachably attached to the hydraulic assembly. The connector frame can include a cable cradle configured to accommodate cables of various sizes and a sleeve for engaging a cable connector. The connector frame can further include a sliding guide structure attached to the cable cradle. The sliding guide structure can include a sliding bar and one or more sliding guides. The sleeve can be attached to the sliding bar. The sleeve can be configured to accommodate connectors of various sizes. Activating the hydraulic assembly can cause the ram to extend, which in turn can cause the sliding bar to move along the longitudinal axis of the cable connector compressing the compression member and connector body into operative engagement with the cable.
