An inter-device cabling movement system includes a base and a plurality of cable attachment devices that extend from the base in a port identification sequence. Each of the plurality of cable attachment devices includes a cable engagement element that is configured to engage a respective cable, and a cable securing element that is configured to secure the cable engagement element to the respective cable. The cable engagement elements and cable securing elements may be utilized to secure each cable attachment device to respective cables connected to first ports on a first device so that those respective cables may be disconnected from the first pots on the first device and reconnected to second ports on a second device based on the port identification sequence.

Strength member assemblies including a strength member and at least one glass optical fiber operatively coupled to the strength member. The optical fiber is coupled to the strength member in a manner such that mechanical strains experienced by the strength member are transferred to the optical fiber so that the optical fiber may be interrogated to assess the state of the strength member.

Provided is a wire rope with resin wire, including a wire rope body in which a plurality of strands are twisted together, and at least one resin wire spirally wound around the wire rope body along a recess between the strands. Strand grooves into which the strands can fit and a resin wire groove into which the resin wire can fit are formed spirally along the twist of the wire rope with resin wire, in a winding hole of a resin wire winding die used for winding the resin wire around the wire rope body. As a result, the resin wire can be easily and reliably mounted on the wire rope body and a wire rope with resin wire can be thus produced.

A headlock cable installation system includes a headlock assembly, an extension rod, and a flexible headlock cable. The headlock cable installation system is used for installing a pre-connectorized cable assembly. The headlock assembly defines a cavity configured to receive a connectorized end of the pre-connectorized cable assembly. The flexible headlock cable has opposite first and second ends. The first end of the headlock cable is coupled to the headlock assembly, whereas the opposite second end of the headlock cable is adjustably coupled to the extension rod. Adjustment of the second end varies a position of the headlock assembly relative to the extension rod.

A cable accessory for injecting fluid into a cable. The accessory has first and second ends configured to be coupled to the cable and an external cable accessory, respectively. The accessory has an injection port configured to introduce the fluid to a stranded conductor of the cable. The accessory may include a body and conductive rod. The body defines a through-channel configured to receive the conductor. The rod has a first portion that extends outwardly from the second end to be received inside the external cable accessory and to form an electrical connection therewith. The rod has a second portion configured to be coupled to the conductor and form an electrical connection therewith. The second portion (with the conductor coupled thereto) is positionable inside the through-channel with the first portion extending outward from the second end. The fluid is injectable into the conductor through injection port, which extends into the through-channel.

A wire-processing device includes a first advancing device, a cutter head, and a second advancing device. The first advancing device pulls the wire out of a wire store and advances according to the desired length of wire to be cut. After the wire is cut through by the cutter head, the wire-ends of the wire-length are processed. The wire-processing device is provided with a device to determine the diameter of the conductor of the wire including an input coupler that generates in the wire a wire signal, and wherein the wire signal can be sensed by an output coupler which generates an input signal which is interpreted by a signal processor, wherein the cutters of the cutter head touch the conductor and change the input signal when cutting into the wire.

A self-cutting, self-seating, self-securing electrical device is used for mounting lights and devices. It can be provided as an integral one piece box, with a saw ring blade provided as part of the round electrical work box, or the device can be provided without the built-in cutting saw ring blade, which is therefore provided as an add-on accessory which snaps into place within channel located along the top and channels on opposite sides of the downwardly extending round wall of the body of the self-seating electrical device. The self-seating electrical device also has two or more fasteners, such as three toggle swing clamps, to secure the electrical device in place in a cutout in a ceiling or interior or exterior wall panel, where the cutout is cut by the forward saw teethed blade edge of the electrical device.

A wire clearance apparatus is provided. The wire clearance apparatus includes a body. The body includes a clamp operable to releasably attach the body to a flange or rim of a panel housing. A pivoting member extends laterally from the body. The pivoting member includes a pivoting arm including a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end of the pivoting arm is connected to the body. The pivoting arm is operable to pivot about a longitudinal axis of the body. The distal end of the pivoting arm includes a hook.
