An intelligent network patch field management system is provided that includes active electronic hardware, firmware, mechanical assemblies, cables, and software that guide, monitor, and report on the process of connecting and disconnecting patch cords plugs in an interconnect or cross-connect patching environment. The system is also capable of monitoring patch cord connections to detect insertions or removals of patch cords or plugs. In addition, the system can map embodiments of patch fields.

A building system in which each panel of each four-panel foldable section and each end panel has preinstalled wiring with plug and play connectors at least at the electrical wiring limits of each such panel. Preferably, each wall panel has a prewired lighting circuit and a prewired convenience electrical outlet. Particular panels may have additional wiring variously for the switch box, the service door motors, fans, and the incoming primary electrical power source. The plug and play connectors for connecting between panels and between panels within four-panel sections include slack cable ends that enable the plug and play connectors to be stowed and secured (tape, bundle ties, etc.) during transport and storage of the folding building. Preferably, field-installed cable trays run the length of the building and field-installed cabling therein connects to preinstalled wiring using plug and play connectors.

A safety socket module includes: a shell; an upper cover, configured to cover the shell, where jacks are provided on the upper cover; compartments, where the number of the compartments corresponds to the number of the jacks, each of the compartments is arranged in the shell and below a respective jack of the jacks, and an interior of each of the compartments is accessible from an exterior of the shell through the respective jack; waterproof electrical connection switches, arranged in the compartments and configured to asynchronously control connection and disconnection of a circuit between a power supply and a plug of an electric appliance; and lock control members, respectively arranged in the compartments and aligned with the jacks; where each of the waterproof electrical connection switches includes a waterproof capsule, and a movable contact piece and a static contact piece arranged opposite to each other in the waterproof capsule.

There are provided a microphone stand having a connector supporting groove, and a microphone body supported by the microphone stand as a result of insertion of a connector case into the connector supporting groove. A resilient conductive cloth which comes into contact with the connector case is arranged in the connector supporting groove, with the connector case inserted in the connector supporting groove. The conductive cloth is preferably arranged in a ring shape along a lower bottom portion of the annularly formed connector supporting groove. This configuration mitigates rattling generated between the connector supporting groove and the connector case, thereby suppressing generation of a vibration noise due to microphone shaking.

Some embodiments relate generally to the field of electrical installations. In particular, some embodiments relate to an electrical socket device including at least one mechanism for locking and unlocking a corresponding electrical plug. More precisely, some embodiments relate to the electrical sockets and plugs of couplers, such as those defined by International Standard IEC 60320, for example of type C13 and type C19. These (coupler) sockets and plugs are applied or used in particular in a building that has a network, for example of LAN (Local Area Network) type, or in a data center, where several items of electrically powered equipment are installed.

A circular power connector that can accommodate plugs of varying diameters includes a plurality of electrical terminals that include a contact beam extending from and monolithic with base, where the contact beam includes a contact portion, and a mounting portion that extends from and monolithic with a base for mounting the terminal to a substrate. The terminals are cylindrically arranged to receive a plug. Alternatively, each electrical terminal includes a frame portion, a first contact beam extending from the frame in a first direction, and a second contact beam extending from the frame in a second direction. Multiple electrical terminals are oriented so that the first and second contact beams for one terminal extend at an angle, preferably perpendicular, to the first and second contact beams of another electrical terminal, in a still further embodiment, an electrical terminal having two halves is provided.

The objective of the present invention is to provide an electronic control device with which it is possible to improve the flow of hot water, during molding, between openings through which connectors penetrate, in a case of an electronic control device, the size of which has increased as a result of an increase in the level of functionality of the electronic control device, while suppressing deformation of said case. There are at least three connectors. At least three openings through which the connectors are inserted are provided in one plane in a case. A printed circuit board is housed inside the case, and the connectors are electrically connected thereto. The third opening is disposed between the first opening and the second opening. The third opening is disposed in a position furthest from a center C of a plane, in the longitudinal direction of the case.
