A cable combination device includes joint terminals configured to be mounted at a joint part formed by jointing a main cable and a branch cable to each other to fix the main cable and the branch cable; a housing configured to have the joint part inserted and mounted therein; and a clip configured to be provided on the housing and fixed to a vehicle body, such that moisture introduction may be prevented by improving water proof performance of the cable, and the cable may be stably mounted in a vehicle by the clip. Therefore, a wiring of the vehicle may be lightened, and at the same time, a cost may be decreased, thereby making it possible to improve marketability.

A gel sealing device includes a gel sealing block (5) which provides a sealing section (22) through which the elongate parts (13, 14) extend. The gel sealing block (5) includes an upper flange (11) and a lower flange (12) with a support section (11a, 12a, 12b) disposed therebetween. The upper and lower flanges (11, 12) sandwiches, in direction of extension of the elongate parts (13, 14), a gel inner ring (7) supported by said support section (2) and a gel outer ring (6, 10a) covering the gel inner ring (7) in a radial direction extending transverse to said extension direction. The gel inner ring (7) and the gel outer ring (6, 10a) are made of a gel sealing material.

A branch box (100) includes: a branch portion (21) branching a power path (205A) into at least two branch paths (206A, 207A); a fuse (60) located on at least one of the branch paths; a conductive member (33) connecting the branch portion and the branch path having the fuse; a first housing portion (11) receiving the fuse and closing its opening with a lid portion (81) to define a housing space; and a second housing portion (12) receiving the branch portion. The first housing portion is sealed with a first sealing material (85) filling a gap between the lid portion and the opening and is out of contact with the fuse. The second housing portion is sealed with a second sealing material (86) independent from the first sealing material. The conductive member passes through a partition wall (25) separating the first housing portion and the second housing portion.

A joint, termination or cross-connection arrangement for a cable includes a first cable and a protective casing. The arrangement further includes a transition sleeve. The transition sleeve, at a first longitudinal end surface thereof, is welded to the metallic sheath of the first cable around the whole circumference of the metallic sheath. The transition sleeve is furthermore welded to the protective casing around the whole circumference of the transition sleeve. A method of providing such an arrangement includes: welding the transition sleeve, at the first longitudinal end surface, to the metallic sheath of the first cable around the whole circumference of the metallic sheath; and welding the transition sleeve to a first tubular end portion of the protective casing around the whole circumference of the transition sleeve.

A strain relief system for a cable inserted within has a main housing with an opening and a series of ramp features and a series of serrations on an interior surface. The system also has a rotating collar with an opening in line with the opening of the main housing. The rotating collar having a series of follower features configured to be inserted into the opening of the main housing such that when the roating collar is rotated relative to the main housing, the follower features engage the ramp features to compress the cable inserted with the strain relief system. The rotating collar also having at least one ratcheting tab configured to engage the series of serrations of the main housing such has to provide a ratcheting function between the rotating collar and the outer housing.

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.
