Breakaway pin for overhead electrical lines

An insulator pin for overhead electrical lines has a frangible portion. The pin has an elongate support for attachment to an electrical distribution pole and a body. The body has a connector for an insulator, a frangible portion and an elongate support holding portion from which the elongate support extends. Preferably the elongate support is a bolt. The frangible portion permits the body to break into two pieces for preventing damage to electrical distribution poles from forces transverse to the overhead electrical line. The frangible portion is located between the connector and the elongate support holding portion. The insulator pin may be attached to an electrical distribution pole to protect the pole from forces transverse to an overhead electrical lines supported by the pole. A method of making the insulator pin by molding is disclosed.

Low-PIM stacking cable hanger spacer
10941883 · 2021-03-09 · ·

A low-PIM, stackable polymeric cable hanger spacer that includes a polymeric base forming a rim that defines a latch surface for capturing locking metal barbs of interface brackets of a metal snap-in cable hanger. The spacer also includes polymeric legs extending from the polymeric base with polymeric barbs for latching to an adjacent snap-in cable hanger or other support member. The base allows the metal barbs to pass through the base when the metal barbs are deflected or compressed toward each other. and then allows the metal barbs to spring back to engage the latch surface and become captured by the polymeric spacer once the metal barbs clear of the rim. The base may have a round toroidal shape with rounded edges allowing the metal snap-in cable hanger to rotate with respect to the spacer.
