The present disclosure relates to an anti-entry device for a single pair Ethernet female connector or coupler, which is configured to prevent accidental entry or unauthorized entry from outside into a hollow interior of the female connector or coupler, and includes: a protective cover, which includes a base plate, a holding portion, and a locking portion. An unlocking rod can be provided and capable of passing through a through-hole of the protective cover to press the locking portion downward so as to unlock the protective cover from the female connector or coupler.

Provided are an apparatus and system for directing power flow between multiple devices, the apparatus comprising: one or more inlet ports for connection to one or more devices; a plurality of outlet ports configured for supplying electrical power; and a computing device configured to route power from the one or more inlet ports to the outlet ports. The system comprises a plurality of the apparatus connected to each other.

The invention relates to a charging plug (100) for coupling to a corresponding plug connection (200) and for transmitting electrical energy, said charging plug comprising a charging plug housing (110) having a latching body (10) which is provided for establishing a detachable frictional and/or interlocking connection between the charging plug (100) and the plug connection (200) together with a corresponding latching body (20) of the plug connection (200), the latching body (10) having at least one detecting element (11) in a portion of the latching body (10) which is provided for frictional and/or interlocking connection to the corresponding latching body (20), and the charging plug housing (110) having at least one sensor unit (111) by means of which the detecting element (11).

A lockout assembly is configured to lockout a battery connector including a connector head connected to a wire, The lockout assembly includes a connector cover part and a sliding part. The connector cover part includes a cupped portion providing a cavity and a guide rail extending away from the cavity in which the cavity is dimensioned to receive an end of the connector head. The sliding part is dimensioned to slidably engage the guide rail and has a hooking foot configured to selectively engage the connector head opposite the cavity of the connector cover part.

Systems and methods for a coupler including: a cable comprising a bend relief disposed at an end of the cable and one or more wires; a socket comprising one or more pins and one or more socket terminals, where the one or more pins are electrically connected to the one or more socket terminals; and a housing body disposed between the cable and the socket, where the housing body comprises a portion of the bend relief and the one or more wires connected to the one or more socket terminals, and where at least a portion of the housing body is made of hot melt such that the housing body encapsulates the portion of the bend relief, the one or more socket terminals, and the one or more wires connected to the one or more socket terminals.

An electronically lockable, electrical plug configured to communicate power and data signals to mobile electronic devices (MED) includes a male electrical plug body insertable into a female electrical socket of the MED and plurality of electrical contacts defined in the male electrical plug for communicating the power and data signals to and from the MED, via corresponding electrical contacts associated with an MED electrical socket. The MED electrical socket is shaped and sized to physically receive and support therein said male electrical plug body. Plug locking elements are formed in the male plug body are so formed as to be lockable to or with corresponding, complementary socket locking elements of the MED, so that upon insertion of the male plug body into the MED socket the electrical plug is locked with the MED An associated, electronically operable locking mechanism is operable to mechanically disengage the plug locking elements from the socket locking elements to thereby enable the electrical plug to be released from the MED and an electrical cable is coupled to the male plug body for electrically conducting the signals.

Provided are an apparatus and system for directing power flow between multiple devices, the apparatus comprising: one or more inlet ports for connection to one or more devices; a plurality of outlet ports configured for supplying electrical power; and a computing device configured to route power from the one or more inlet ports to the outlet ports.
