ACTIVE RECEPTACLE COVER
A cover for an electrical receptacle including a faceplate. The cover also includes a first transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a first power line of the electrical receptacle and a second transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a second power line of the electrical receptacle. Additionally, the cover includes a device (such as a light source, circuit, port, or sensor) in communication with the first transmission tab and the second transmission tab.
STACKABLE POWER OUTLET BOX
A stackable storage system is disclosed. The system includes a base storage container disposed on a wheeled cart, and one or more additional storage containers removably secured on top of the base container. The system further includes a power outlet box which is interchangeably securable in the system with the other storage containers. The power outlet box includes an extendable AC power cord which may be plugged into a wall outlet, and one or more electrical output plugs, include AC outlets and USB outlets which are powered by the AC power cord. The power outlet box and other containers are securable to each other by a spring loaded latch system. The power outlet box is also usable separate with a storage container having an overhead carry handle allowing both the container and power box to be transportable together.
Server node connector mating condition health monitoring and reporting
A server node connection system uses two or more proximity sensors per server node to determine progressive, real time changes in wipe length for each individual connector on the node that is connected to an opposing header connector on header connected to a midplane of the server assembly/rack. The system is capable of scanning, monitoring, trending, and alarming.
Single pair ethernet connector system
In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a connector plug for attachment to a single pair Ethernet cable comprising a pair of conductors, and configured for being received in a connector receptacle. The connector plug includes a first end for receiving the single pair Ethernet cable and a second end having a pair of contacts, each of the contacts comprising a receptacle contact interface, a conductor interface, and an extension to provide an increased width between conductor gripping prongs at the conductor interface while maintaining a consistent spacing between the pair of contacts at the receptacle contact interface with connector plugs configured to mate with different gauge cables. The connector plug comprises a latch for secure attachment to the receptacle and a pull cord connected to the latch and accessible when the connector plug is inserted into the receptacle with other connector plugs for release of the connector plug.
POWER STRIP WITH USB PORTS AND ELECTRICAL CORD STORAGE
An electric storage power strip device for maintaining cables wound about a plurality of tabs coupled to the electric power strip device includes a power strip elongated for a length. The power strip has a peripheral surface where a plurality of universal serial bus ports is positioned. Furthermore, a plurality of receptacles is positioned on the peripheral surface. Each receptacle of the plurality of receptacles is a power outlet port. The plurality of universal serial bus ports and the plurality of receptacles are in electrical communication with each other. A plurality of thumb tabs is coupled to the peripheral surface. Each thumb tab of the plurality of thumb limits the movement of the wound cords. A plurality of wrap docks is associated to each lateral surface of the pair of lateral surfaces. Each wrap port defines a space for the cords to be stored within.
Electrical wall plate with movably positionable camera
An electrical wall plate may include one or more of the following features. A face plate comprising at least one electrical device opening extending through the face plate. At least one box mounting screw opening configured to receive at least one box mounting screw to fasten the face plate to an electrical device. A power connector extending in a direction away from the face plate and configured to connect with the electrical device. A camera integrated with the face plate and in electrical connection with the power connector and configured to operate by power obtained from the electrical device when the power connector is connected to the electrical device. A camera movement control feature may comprise externally-engageable components coupled to the face plate and configured to movably position the camera or a camera lens by pan or tilt to point in different directions.
Multi-position conversion device and a conversion socket with the multi-position conversion device
A multi-position conversion device and a conversion socket with the multi-position conversion device; the first pin, the second pin, the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet are installed together onto the main frame to modularize and integrate the conversion device; therefore, only one main frame is needed to complete the installation of the first pin, the second pin, the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet, and this can effectively decrease the volume of the multi-position conversion device and thus decrease the volume and weight of the whole conversion socket, prevent the conversion socket from sagging due to gravity and thus increase the corresponding user experience and safety; meanwhile, after being modularized, the multi-position conversion device is installed directly into the housing and thus can decrease the assembling steps, reduce the assembling difficulty and finally improve the assembling efficiency.
Electric apparatus
An electric apparatus including a connector holding six connecting terminals is provided. Three one-side connecting terminals held by the connector are arranged side by side in a row substantially directly below conductive terminals of three phases of one DC-AC converter. Three another-side connecting terminals held by the connector are arranged side by side in a row at positions offset to a side away from the one-side connecting terminals in an axial direction. Upper-end side connecting parts of the three one-side connecting terminals are set to be lower than upper-end side connecting parts of the three another-side connecting terminals, and are connected to the corresponding conductive terminals above via busbars extending in an up-down direction. The upper end-side connecting parts of the three another-side connecting terminals are connected to corresponding conductive terminals via busbars extending along an arrangement direction of the conductive terminals.
Modular Electrical Outlet Assembly
A modular electrical outlet assembly includes an enclosure that can be installed in a wall of a room. The enclosure has a plurality of wiring terminals that can each be electrically coupled to electrical wiring in the room. The enclosure has a plurality of output sockets each being integrated therein. Each of the output sockets is in electrical communication with a respective one of the wiring terminals to receive electrical current from the electrical wiring. A module is insertable into the enclosure and the module has a plurality of input terminals that is each integrated therein. Each of the input terminals electrically engages a respective one of the output sockets in the enclosure when the module is inserted into the enclosure to receive electrical current from the electrical wiring in the wall.
Power distribution connector with interface load receptacle
A power distribution connector is configured to connect an electrical cable to at least three electrical interfaces. The connector includes a housing with first and second sections. The first section includes a first electrical interface disposed at a first end of the first section and a second electrical interface disposed at a second end opposite the first end. The second section forms a T-shaped intersection with the first section between the first and second electrical interfaces. The second section includes a distal end opposite the T-shaped intersection, the distal end being configured to receive the electrical cable; and a third electrical interface oriented parallel to the first section, disposed adjacent to the second electrical interface, and extending a distance from an axis of the second section that is less than or equal to a distance from the axis of the second section that the second electrical interface extends.
