A cable guide apparatus has an oscillating link rotatable about an axis and a cable guide for the line cable. The line cable is fed from and into a reservoir based on the distance between the reservoir and the feed device and is guided by the cable guide. A simplified automatic connection of a line cable to a feed device is achieved and provides protective guidance and storage of the line cable by a cable guide apparatus in which the oscillating link can be moved linearly relative to the oscillation axis. A power supply system includes this cable guide apparatus. The related method comprises: a) retracting a connecting element, which is arranged on the line cable, into the cable guide apparatus and before, at the same time or afterwards b) moving the oscillating link from an extended to a retracted position relative to the oscillation axis in a linear manner.

A plug connector part for connecting to a mating plug connector part includes: a housing part on which a plug-in section for a plug-in connection to the mating plug-in connector part is arranged; at least one contact element arranged on the plug-in section so as to make electrical contact with an associated mating contact element of the mating connector part; an electrical line arranged on the housing part and electrically connected to the at least one contact element; a strain relief element movably arranged on the housing part; and an adjusting element that can be brought into operative connection with the strain relief element. Via actuation of the adjusting element, the strain relief element is movable into a position in which the strain relief element fixes the electrical line, relative to the housing part, in a tension-loadable manner.

Connection system, in particular for a charger or a power tool, containing a connection plug with a power line and containing a socket apparatus with at least one socket element for releasable connection to the connection plug. The socket apparatus contains a first strain-relief device in order to counteract a tensile load, exerted on the power line, when the connection plug and the socket element are in a connected state. Charger with a connection system containing a connection plug with a power line and containing a socket apparatus with at least one socket element for releasable connection to the connection plug. Power tool with a connection system containing a connection plug with a power line and containing a socket apparatus with at least one socket element for releasable connection to the connection plug. Socket apparatus with at least one socket element for releasable connection to a connection plug for a connection system.

A pinch sleeve for pinching an electric cable in an electric connector includes a plurality of pinch fingers that extend in an axial direction from a base to a free end and a ring member connecting the bases of the pinch fingers in a circumferential direction extending around the axial direction. The pinch fingers are arranged in the circumferential direction and surround an interior volume that receives the electric cable. The interior volume penetrates the pinch sleeve in the axial direction. The ring member has a plurality of coupling teeth that protrude from the ring member for rotational engagement.

A cabling module is cable management system is configured for use within an IT component and includes an internal cable bundle configured for use within the IT component. An external cable termination module is configured to terminate a first end of the internal cable bundle. A cabling module is configured to terminate a second end of the internal cable bundle. A cable management arm is positioned between the external cable termination module and the cabling module and is configured to absorb any slack in the internal cable bundle.

A strain relief assembly is provided for a bundle of cables surrounded by an electrically conductive sleeve. The strain relief assembly can include a ferrule and at least one retention member. The cables extend through the ferrule, and the sleeve extends over the ferrule, so as to be captured between the ferrule and the retention member.

A compression connector including a tubular connector body with a through bore, a flange, a leading end and a trailing end for connecting ground conductors to a load center. A nose extends from the flange to the leading end and a trailing body portion extends to the trailing end. A boss on the connector body includes a threaded bore and an opening on each side of the boss. A screw within the threaded bore of the boss holds a clip to the connector body. The clip includes two legs with arcuate ends that bisect the through bore. Insertion of a grounding electrode conductor into the through bore and tightening of the clip enables a secure connection of the conductor grounding electrode to the connector body. A threaded nose and a locknut are provided on the compression connector to facilitate attachment of the leading end of the connector body to a knockout aperture in a load center.
