A cable tray assembly includes first and second cable tray sections each including a base and rails extending transversely from longitudinal sides of the base. A splice plate assembly is configured to engage the first and second cable tray sections for attaching the first cable tray section to the second cable tray section. A bonding jumper is attached to the splice plate assembly such that a first end of the bonding jumper is attached to a first splice plate and a second end of the bonding jumper is attached to a second splice plate whereby the bonding jumper is attached to the cable tray sections without forming holes in the cable tray sections. The splice plate assembly and bonding jumper providing an electrically conductive link between the cable tray sections.

An electrical connection assembly includes an electrical box including a housing having an internal surface defining an internal volume of the housing. An electrical connector is positioned outside the internal volume of the housing and fixed to the housing with a fastener. The housing includes an aperture having an opening defining an insertion path extending from a location external to the housing along a frame of the electrical connector to a location within the internal volume of the housing. The assembly includes a disc mechanically secured to the housing relative to the opening to obstruct the insertion path. A retainer and a bushing including a membrane for the electrical connector as well as methods of making an electrical connector are also provided.

A wire cover includes an inner cover member covering a bent section of an electric wire from an inner peripheral side and an outer cover member covering the bent section from an outer peripheral side. One end portion of the wire cover sandwiches the electric wire along a first direction. The other end portion of the wire cover sandwiches the electric wire along a second direction. The inner cover member and the outer cover member move relative to each other along the first direction. When observed from a third direction intersecting a plane that includes the first direction and the second direction, a first attachment portion and a second attachment portion are positioned outward of the surface of the inner cover body on the innermost side of the bent section or inward of the surface of the outer cover body on the outermost side of the bent section.

An automobile wiring harness system including a wiring harness that includes a housing having a proximal opening and a distal opening, electrical conductors extending from the proximal opening to the distal opening, a universal connector coupled to the electrical conductors at the proximal opening, and individual connectors coupled to the electrical connectors at the distal opening and an electrical component of an automobile. The system further includes a first adapting member configured to electrically couple the first adapting portion and the second adapting portion.

A system, method, and apparatus for preventing friction based damage to wire conduit comprises a protecting surface configured on or in sections of conduit prone to wire friction as wire is pulled through the conduit.

Protection for a cable, piping or tubing comprises a bend stiffener. This includes at least one element comprising a tubular wall having a substantially smooth inner surface, which defines circumferential recesses along at least part of its length. Each recess has an open end at the circumference of the wall, a base, and sloping sides that are closer to each other at the base than at the open end. Each recess has a depth of no more than 50% of the thickness of the tubular wall. The bend stiffener may include a number of such elements connected together. The cable protection may also include a clamp attached to the bend stiffener.

Disclosed is a length of cable run made of metal wire mesh having a nominal end and a fish-plated end equipped with a fish plate made of metal wires which is configured to allow the fish-plated end to be assembled by clip-fastening with the nominal end of a similar length of cable run; lateral parts of the fish plate each including a flexible arm, a head provided with a ramp and with a clip and connected to the flexible arm by one of its ends, and a spacer secured to the end cross wire of the fish-plated end and situated between this end cross wire and the end cross wire of the nominal end of the similar length when the fish-plated end of the length and the nominal end of the similar length are assembled.

A cable gland system for arrangement on a housing wall includes: a guide element with an opening for receiving a cable, a first support surface for supporting on a first side of the housing wall and a first end region, and an opposite second end region, at least one external thread being arranged at least on a periphery of the first end region; and a fastening element with a second support surface for supporting on a second side of the housing wall, and an internal thread on an inner surface, the internal thread engaging with the external thread on the guide element in a screwed-on state. At least one contact surface with a contact structure respectively arranged on the periphery of the guide element, adjacent to the external thread and to the inner surface of the fastening element.

A sleeve (19) arranged to be slidably received within a passage (9) defined in a body of a cable gland (1), the sleeve (19) arranged to receive a settable sealing material for forming a seal to a cable passing through the sleeve, wherein the sleeve (19) comprises: an annular side wall (79) extending along an axial length and having a first end and a second end; and an end wall (100) capping the first end of the annular side wall (79), in which the annular side wall (79) and the end wall (100) define a void (106) within them into which settable sealing material can be received.
