System and method for securing power and communications cables and associated hardware within crown molding
A system for crown molding that enables safely incorporating electrical and communications cabling within crown molding by creating one or more protected paths which inherently prevent overly sharp bends in crown molding corners and by mitigating damage from penetrating punctures through a decorated face designed to fracture when improperly penetrated by a screw or nail, and enables the secure installation of hardware either concealed within the molding or securely and favorably positioned through the decorative face to view or sense a room, and enables additional cable capacity that is concealed within a light reflector to increase lighting efficacy as well as power and data delivery capacity.
Wire management system and kit
A wire management system including a cord cover. A kit of the wire management system can include a plurality of cord covers having various sizes or shapes to enable arrangement over cords or cables of various lengths without having to cut the cord covers to particular sizes. Various connectors can be used to cover or couple adjacent cord covers.
CABLE TROUGHS FOR MANAGING FIBER OPTIC CABLES
The present disclosure relates generally to a cable management system including a trough member, at least one intermediary divider, and at least one connecting mechanism. The trough member includes a base having a plurality of holes extending through a top surface and a bottom surface, and a first sidewall and a second sidewall extending from the base. The intermediary divider includes a divider base and a divider wall extending from the base. The connecting mechanism is configured to connect the divider base of the at least one intermediary divider to the holes of the trough member.
SPLICE FOR CABLE TRAY AND CABLE TRAY ASSEMBLY INCLUDING SAME
The present disclosure provides a cable tray assembly comprising a cable tray splice, first cable tray section, and second cable tray section adjacent the first cable tray section with both sections having a bottom wall. The cable tray splice couples to the bottom walls. The cable tray splice may include at least two fasteners and a splice body configured to engage adjacent cable tray sections. The fasteners are configured to couple the splice body to the adjacent cable tray sections and include a spring producing a biasing force against the splice body. The disclosure provides a method to form a cable tray assembly including positioning the two cable tray sections end-to-end, positioning a splice body on bottom walls of the two cable tray sections, inserting a fastener through aligned openings in the splice body and the bottom walls, and applying a spring biasing force to the splice body.
Connector including a shell with an orientable conduit and a method for mounting a connector
An illustrative example embodiment of a connector shell includes a connector cover and a cable-guiding sleeve having a curved conduit. The cover and the cable-guiding sleeve are made up of two separate elements. The cable-guiding sleeve is mounted on the cover so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The cable-guiding sleeve and the cover comprise means for blocking the rotation of the cable-guiding sleeve on the cover in at least two different pre-set angular positions about the axis of rotation. These blocking means comprise shapes that engage with each other in a complementary way, and that are able to release each other and allow the passage from one angular position to the next.
System and Method for Securing Power and Communications Cables and Associated Hardware Within Crown Molding
A system for crown molding that enables safely incorporating electrical and communications cabling within crown molding by creating one or more protected paths which inherently prevent overly sharp bends in crown molding corners and by mitigating damage from penetrating punctures through a decorated face designed to fracture when improperly penetrated by a screw or nail, and enables the secure installation of hardware either concealed within the molding or securely and favorably positioned through the decorative face to view or sense a room, and enables additional cable capacity that is concealed within a light reflector to increase lighting efficacy as well as power and data delivery capacity.
CABLE CHANNEL
A cable channel for receiving at least one cable includes a first cable housing and a second cable housing. The first cable housing includes a first connector and the second cable housing includes a first mating connector releasably connected to the first connector arranging the first and second cable housings together.
Cable trough
A cable trough (1) has a base (2) a plurality of sidewalls (3) and open ends (5, 6) arranged for connection to the open end of another cable trough to form a cable trough system. Both open ends (5, 6) are provided with a multiway connector (25, 26). The multiway connectors (25, 26) comprise both a groove (9) to receive the tongue (11) of another cable trough and a tongue for insertion into the groove of another cable trough. Both ends are capable of connection to a male connector (16) of another cable trough, comprising a tongue, and capable of connection to a female connector (15) of another cable trough, comprising a groove.
CABLE TRAY SYSTEM
A cable tray system has two or more cable tray segments, the cable tray segments each having a cable tray underside and two cable tray side cheeks which laterally delimit the cable tray underside and form a substantially U-shaped cross section. A connecting section is provided at one end of one cable tray segment and one end of another cable tray segment can be connected in or on this connecting section with complementary mechanical connecting elements by means of a clamping or latching connection. When two corresponding ends of the cable tray segments are plugged together in the longitudinal direction of the cable tray segments and also in the vertical direction of the cable tray segments, the ends are resiliently bent towards each other until a desired connection position is reached and form a snap-in connection that locks in the longitudinal and vertical directions.
DUAL TONGUE STRAP CLEAT BRACKET
A bracket secured to a support member. The bracket receives a locking strap cleat to secure a cable bundle to the support member. The bracket has a first tongue, a second tongue parallel to the first tongue, and a riser section connecting the first tongue and the second tongue. The first tongue and the second tongue include slots. The first tongue of the bracket receives one of the cable bundle or the support member and the second tongue of the bracket receives one of the cable bundle or the support member.
