An apparatus for locking three-phase electrical connectors together. An apparatus for locking three-phase electrical connectors together, such apparatus including flexible inserts wherein the apparatus is configured for holding and locking three-phase electrical connectors of different sizes. A method of locking three-phase electrical connectors together using an apparatus for locking three-phase electrical connectors together.

An apparatus and method for splicing single pair ethernet (SPE) cables. By creating a T shaped intersection, the splicing device allows for sensors and other devices to run perpendicular in relation to the original cable. The splicing device further enables the cable to have multiple drop points along the cable.

Telecommunications cable management component housing assemblies that can be assembled without adhesive, and associated methods for assembling cable management component housings. The assembly includes a body and a lid that can be assembled together in a permanent or semi-permanent configuration. The body and the lid include complementary locking features. The lid is resiliently flexible to enable the lid to be assembled to the body. The body defines a cable management component housing volume that houses one or more cable management components, such as splitters, wave division multiplexors, and splices.

Systems and methods are provided for reliable redundant power distribution. Some embodiments include micro Automatic Transfer Switches (micro-ATSs), including various components and techniques for facilitating reliable auto-switching functionality in a small footprint (e.g., less than ten cubic inches, with at least one dimension being less than a standard NEMA rack height). Other embodiments include systems and techniques for integrating a number of micro-ATSs into a parallel auto-switching module for redundant power delivery to a number of devices. Implementations of the parallel auto-switching module are configured to be mounted in, on top of, or on the side of standard equipment racks. Still other embodiments provide power distribution topologies that exploit functionality of the micro-ATSs and/or the parallel micro-ATS modules.

Devices are described that support, house, and protect an electrical cable monitoring system that is electrically coupled to an electrical cable. An example support structure includes an elongate body including an interior surface extending along and concentric to an axis of the electrical cable. The body is configured to engage a cable accessory disposed on the electrical cable. The support structure includes a first electrode attached to the interior surface and configured to operatively couple to the cable accessory. The support structure includes a second electrode attached to the body and configured to operatively couple to the shielding layer. The support structure includes a monitoring device attached to the interior surface and operatively coupled to the first and second electrodes. The monitoring device is configured to monitor one or more conditions of the electrical cable or the cable accessory.

A Shielded electric cable assembly including a first shielded electric cable (1) having a first shield conductor (8) covering a wire (2, 5) and being covered by a first insulative jacket (9); a second shielded electric cable (10) having a second shield conductor (17) covering a wire (11, 14) and being covered by a second insulative jacket (18), the conductors (3, 6) of the first and second shielded electric cables (1, 10) are joined forming a junction (28, 29); an inner insulator (30) covering the junction (28, 29); a shield element (34) covering the inner insulator (30) in contact to the first and second shield conductors (8, 17); a housing (35) covering the shield element (34) and the first and second insulative jackets (9, 18); a first and a second sealing element (36, 37) between the housing (35) and the first and second insulative jackets (9, 18), respectively.

The disclosure relates to a shielded Y-shaped splice connector having a housing that includes a lower body, an upper cover, and three openings arranged to receive three cable fixing devices on the housing. The periphery of the lower body and the periphery of the upper cover are each formed of a flat surface arranged to form the contact surface of the lower body and the upper cover when the housing is assembled.

A wiring harness is provided with a first wire member including a first terminal and a first wire and a protector for accommodating the first wire member. The protector includes a protector body, a bolt and a restricting portion. The protector body has a bottom wall extending in a length direction, two side walls projecting from both side edges of the bottom wall and facing each other, and an opening formed by the two side walls and facing the bottom wall. The bolt projects from the protector body and is inserted into a through hole of the terminal. The restricting portion covers only a part of the first wire member closer to a side opposite to a tip side of the first terminal than the through hole in the length direction, and restricts a movement of the first wire member in a projecting direction of the bolt.
