A binding tool includes a pair of leg portions and a central portion that is provided between the pair of leg portions. The binding tool is formed in a horseshoe shape and is capable of binding an object to be bound by bending the pair of leg portions inward. The pair of leg portions are arranged to be deviated from each other in a front-rear direction as viewed in a thickness direction.

Integrated one-piece drop wire clamps and methods to hold a cable therein. The drop wire clamps comprising a shell with a base portion having a first end and a second end with a longitudinal axis therebetween and opposing side walls extending from the base portion along edges thereof to define a channel therebetween. The side walls are angled with respect to each other and separated by a first distance proximate the first end and a second distance proximate the second end, the second distance smaller than the first distance. The drop wire clamps further include opposing slide wedges disposed within the channel and moveable between a first position and a second position. The side walls bias the slide wedges towards a center of the channel as the slide wedges move from the first position to the second position. Method of securing cable in drop wire clamps also provided.

A low passive intermodulation (PIM) angle adapter fabricated from or coated with a polymeric material supports one or more cable support hangers. The low-PIM angle adapter includes a box frame integrally formed with a slot frame, where the box frame supports one or more cable hangers and the slot frame slides onto a support structure to position the angle adapter on the support structure. The low-PIM angle adapter also includes one or more cable tie slots the receive cable ties that secure the angle adapter to the support structure. Various embodiments include differently shaped box frames designed to support one or more cable hangers, such hex, rectangular, trapezoidal and square box frames. The box frames may include multiple receptacles for receiving multiple cable hangers. Cable blocks and brackets also may be used to connect multiple cable hangers to a single receptacle of the low-PIM angle adapter.

An apparatus and method for terminating a multi-stranded, non-parallel cable. An anchor is provided on the end of each strand. A collector is provided to link the anchors and connected strands into a single unit. An alignment fixture is provided to transition the strands from the non-parallel lay within the cable to a parallel path adjacent to the anchors.

A connector (10) is provided. The connector (10) is for connecting to a downhole longitudinal member (12). The connector (10) comprises a gripping sleeve (14) defining an internal bore (16) for receiving the longitudinal member (12) therewithin, wherein the gripping sleeve (14) is configured to grip or to increase grip on the longitudinal member (12) by lengthening the gripping sleeve (14). Also provided area system in which the connector (10) is used, and a method of connecting a connector (10) to a downhole longitudinal member (12).

Provided is a connection structure for connecting a connection member having an attaching portion attachable to an endoscope, to a wire protective sheath into which an endoscope operation wire is configured to be partially inserted for protection. The connection structure includes: a through-hole disposed in the connection member, the wire protective sheath being insertable into the through-hole; and at least one swaging portion located at a different position from that of the attaching portion to partially constitute a peripheral wall of the through-hole. While the wire protective sheath is inserted into the through-hole, the at least one swaging portion is pressed to partially deform the through-hole, thereby connecting the connection member to the wire protective sheath.

A device configured to join two ropes includes a device body that extends from a first end to a second end along a central axis, the device body including an inner surface defining a through hole that extends through both the first end and the second end, the device body defining an inner dimension. The device defines an unassembled configuration in which the first and second ropes are positioned outside the through hole and the inner dimension is smaller than both the first outer diameter and the second outer diameter. The device defines an assembled configured in which a portion of each of the first and second ropes are positioned in the through hole, and the inner dimension is greater than both the first outer diameter and the second outer diameter.
