The first metal covering layer comprises a first axial end part. The inner insulating layer comprises a second axial end part. The second metal covering layer extends along the first direction and covers the inner insulating layer. The second metal covering layer comprises a third axial end part. The outer insulating layer extends along the first direction and covers the second metal covering layer. The outer insulating layer comprises a fourth axial end part.

A cable holding system for positioning a cable relative to a cable processing machine comprises a cable holding device for selectively clamping onto a cable to be processed, and a receiver. The receiver includes an opening for selectively receiving the cable holding device in a predetermined orientation, and a mounting base for fixing the location of the receiver relative to the cable processing machine.

A conduit layout tool to configured for forming conduit holes or knockouts in electrical boxes or panels. The conduit layout tool can be used with different size strut channel sizes have different widths, height, gauge size and material. The typical width channel sizes are 1⅝ inch and 13/16 inch with (or 7/16 width). A single conduit tool is configured to be used with two or more channel width sizes each with a single conduit diameter.

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 movable 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.

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.

Provided is a trunk cable installation verification tool. The device comprises a body that attaches to a stuffing or fitting tube, a level tube, a magnet, and a tolerance indicator for aligning a cable. The body is shaped to fit the contours of the fitting tube for ease of attachment thereto. A magnet secures the body to the fitting tube for quick and non-permanent attachment. The tolerance indicator is preferably a V-shaped protrusion or a notch that is aligned with the centreline of the fitting tube and is used to ensure proper alignment of the cable, which is confirmed with a cable identification line. The verification tool ensures proper cable alignment and reduces/prevents stress on the bond line between cable outer jacket and the epoxy, thereby preventing premature cable failure and extending the maintenance intervals required to replace damaged cables.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an apparatus for aligning a connector during engagement or disengagement from a port. In some embodiments the apparatus includes a sleeve, a channel in the sleeve, and a handle extending away from the sleeve. In some embodiments, the sleeve is designed to receive a cable connector with a first opening at a first end of the sleeve and a second opening at the second end of the sleeve, the sleeve designed to receive a cable connector through the first end and allow the cable connector to exit through the second end after the cable connector has been engaged to a port. In some embodiments, the channel extends a length of the sleeve from the first end to the second end.

A device may provide, to a user device, a first message instructing a technician to move fiber cables and may receive a first signal based on the technician moving the fiber cables and a rest signal based on the technician stopping movement of the fiber cables. The device may calculate a distance, an average peak signal, and a baseline signal based on the first signal and the rest signal and may calculate a data collection window based on the distance, the average peak signal, and the baseline signal. The device may provide, to the user device, a second message instructing the technician to move one fiber cable at a time and may receive second signals based on the technician moving one fiber cable at a time. The device may provide, for display to the user device, the data collection window and indications of the second signals.

A system for the automated manufacture of a wiring harness, which demonstrates a branched structure made up of multiple individual conductor elements. To form wiring harnesses having an individually branched structure, the conductor elements are automatically brought into a predefined distribution structure, multiple second rails oriented in parallel to each other and multiple second transporters, distributed on the second rails, being used for this purpose. The second transporters are each fitted with one wire end of the conductor elements. To form the distribution structure, the second rails are subsequently moved in a vertical direction, and the second transporters are moved along the second rail. In this spread-apart structure, additional processing steps are carried out, for example a fixing of the conductor elements to each other.
