Mounting brackets for dead-end utility lines and mounting bracket systems for dead-end utility lines are described in the present disclosure. Each mounting bracket can include a body with a front face and, a plurality of arms extending from the body with each arm comprises a hook that is configured to receive a dead-end utility line. The mounting brackets are configured to be mounted on a utility pole and to allow a plurality of dead-end utility lines to be mounted to a utility pole with a single mounting bracket.

An electrical connector for a composite core conductor and a method of controlling crimping thereof includes a coupling portion and a tubular portion extending from the coupling portion. A conductor has a non-metallic core surrounded by electrically conductive strands and has a connecting portion of the core extending axially beyond the strands. The connecting portion is received in the tubular portion. A crimped portion on the tubular portion radially engages the connecting portion and secures the conductor to the tubular portion. The crimped portion is formed by concave surfaces on internal surfaces of crimping dies. The concave surfaces have different radii of curvature than remaining portions of the internal surfaces.

A cable retention device useful for fiber optic cable retention, suspension and anchoring, of the drop type and is provided with a retaining element and a housing element, which once coupled retain a drop between them allowing the manipulation of the drop.

An electrical connector assembly configured to increase a mechanical hold on a core. The electrical connector assembly includes a connector member, a plurality of housing segments forming a collet having a tubular shape, and a sleeve having a tubular shape configured to slidably encase the outer surfaces of the plurality of housing segments in the collet.

A tool for wrapping a formed wire around a cable is provided. The tool includes a handle portion and a head portion. The handle portion has an elongated body and a hand grip portion attached to the elongated body. The head portion has a cover pivotably attached to a base. When the cover is pivoted into contact with the base a cable receiving opening is formed between the cover and the base. The head portion also includes a pusher member extending from the cover or the base into the cable receiving opening. The pusher member is adapted to contact and push strands of a formed wire when the tool is in use.

A clamp including a body, a retaining portion of the body, the retaining portion including a cavity with at least one cavity engagement mechanism and a plurality of holes, a conductor groove extending through the body to the cavity, a keeper removably positioned within the cavity, the keeper including at least one keeper engagement mechanism configured to engage with the at least one cavity engagement mechanism, and a plurality of fasteners for extending into the plurality of holes and securing the keeper in the cavity.

A device for fixing measuring devices perpendicularly on overhead linear objects, especially on overhead power transmission lines, which comprises a fastening element (1) and a swinging element (10) which are permanently connected to each other in such a way that the fastening element (1) is permanently connected to an inner cylindrical element (2) with a longitudinal assembly slot (3), on which inner cylindrical element (2) an outer cylindrical element (4) with a longitudinal assembly slot (3) is permanently pivotally mounted, whereas at one of the edges of the longitudinal assembly slot (3) of the outer cylindrical element (4), a fixing measuring element (5) is fastened, wherein a socket for mounting the measuring device is formed, preferably longitudinally, in the fixing measuring element (5).

A structure to structure electrical service bridging assembly for electrically connecting a pair of structures includes a rack, a conduit, and a junction box, with each being one of a pair of racks, a pair of conduits, and a pair of junction boxes, respectively. Each rack, conduit, and junction box is mountable to a respective structure, such that each structure is engaged with one rack, one conduit, and one junction box. The rack is external to the structure and the conduit extends upwardly from the junction box to above the rack. The junction box is can be engaged to an electrical circuit of the structure. A set of wires is engaged to and extends between the racks. The wires extend through the conduits and electrically couple the junction boxes. The wires supply electricity from an electrical service of one structure to the electrical circuit of the other structure.

Mounting brackets for dead-end utility lines and mounting bracket systems for dead-end utility lines are described in the present disclosure. Each mounting bracket can include a body with a front face and, a plurality of arms extending from the body with each arm comprises a hook that is configured to receive a dead-end utility line. The mounting brackets are configured to be mounted on a utility pole and to allow a plurality of dead-end utility lines to be mounted to a utility pole with a single mounting bracket.

An assembly component of a compression type anchor clamp includes: a housing tube that houses an end portion of a core portion of a power-transmission line; a core portion compression member, made of steel, that includes a housing hole to house the end portion of the core portion and the housing tube and is to be compressed with the core portion and the housing tube; and a conductive portion compression member, made of pure aluminum or an aluminum alloy, that houses an end portion of a conductive portion of the power-transmission line and the core portion compression member and is to be compressed with the conductive portion and the core portion compression member, wherein the housing tube is constituted by pure aluminum or an aluminum alloy whose Vickers hardness Hv is less than or equal to 30, and continuously provided in its cylindrical direction without a gap.
