A cable assembly is used to connect elements of a computing system. The cable assembly may include a first cable and a connector. The first cable includes an external portion having a first conductor, an electromagnetic (EMC) shielding jacket for the first conductor and a connector disposed at an end of the first conductor. Further, the first cable includes an internal portion comprising a second conductor and a connector disposed on an end of the second conductor. However, the internal portion lacks an EMC shielding jacket for the second conductor. The external portion of the first cable and the internal portion of the first cable form a continuous cable. The connector device comprises a shield area configured to electrically couple with a chassis of a node of a computer system and a retainer configured to physically couple the cable assembly with the chassis. The connector is configured to electrically couple the external portion of the first cable with the chassis, and wherein the external portion of the first cable meets the internal portion of the first cable at the connector device.

A cable assembly comprising a termination with at least one conductive, compressible member and a conductive ground shield. The conductive, compressible member may be held within a connector module forming the termination such that the conductive compressive member is pressed against, and therefore makes electrical contact with, both an outer conductive layer of the cable and ground structures within the connector module. In some embodiments, these connections may be formed using a conductive, compressible member with an opening configured to receive the end of the cable therethrough. The conductive ground shield may be configured to compress the conductive, compressible member, and to cause the conductive, compressible member to electrically contact the cable's conductive layer. The conductive, compressible member may be formed from a compressible material and may comprise a plurality of conductive particulates configured to provide electrically conductive paths.

It is aimed to externally fit a sleeve formed into a tubular shape to a braided wire. A mounting device is a device for mounting a tubular sleeve on a coaxial cable having a front end part of a braided wire exposed in front of a sheath to externally fit the sleeve to the braided wire, and is provided with an expansion restricting jig including an expansion restricting portion for restricting expansive deformation of the braided wire and relatively displaceable in an axial direction with respect to the braided wire with the expansion restricting portion held in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the braided wire. The expansion restricting jig is formed with a positioning portion for positioning the sleeve concentrically with the braided wire with the sleeve arranged forward of the expansion restricting portion.

A recessed, deployable ceiling box assembly comprising a ceiling frame-mounting member and a ceiling box member, a support member for securing the ceiling frame-mounting member to a ceiling structural member and one or more connector members for attaching the ceiling box member to the ceiling frame-mounting member. The ceiling box member is deployable from a retracted position, where the ceiling box member is retained within the ceiling frame-mounting member at or above the height of the ceiling, to a deployed position, where the ceiling box member hangs by the connector member below the height of the ceiling. A door may be used to cover the contents of the deployable ceiling box assembly.

A method for creating a composite cable having at least one advanced termination on at least one end. An advanced termination is added to an end of a short synthetic tensile strength member. The strength of the tensile strength member and termination is then tested. Once tested satisfactorily, the short cable is spiced onto a long cable of the same type using prior art splicing techniques. The union of the short cable and the long cable creates a “composite” cable having a advanced termination on at least one end. In most applications it is preferable to set the length of the short cable so that the interwoven splice will exist at a desired location.

A mold includes a first electrode on which a looped conductor of an electric wire is placed, the looped conductor being an exposed conductor of the electric wire from which a coating is removed and having an overlap portion at which different parts of the exposed conductor overlap each other, a hole forming jig provided upright on the first electrode to extend through an inner hole of the looped conductor, a wire holding jig arranged to surround the first electrode, and a second electrode having a conductor pressing protrusion configured to be fitted in a conductor molding groove defined by the first electrode and the wire holding jig to press and heat the looped conductor. The wire holding jig has a plurality of separable holding jigs configured to hold the looped conductor between the separable holding jigs from a direction perpendicular to an axis of the hole forming jig.
