The present invention is a connector for connecting two electrical cables having cladding to an aperture in an electrical panel. The assembled connector has a two piece spring, a shell, and a insulator along a longitudinal axis. Each spring has a base from which an insertion tab extends coaxial with the axis and the insulator has two curved portions to prevent over-insertion of the cladding into the connector. The insertion tabs of the spring have hook latches and the insulator has a wall to prevent the electrical cables from interfering with the hook latches. The insulator also has a pressure prong for applying a radial grounding force to the connector.

An assembly as a junction box replacement, having at least two electrical cables (4). A case (1) encases the ends (40) of the electrical cables (4). Clamping means (2) is arranged so as to extend around at least part of the case (1) and around the electrical cables (4) and is clamped for mutual strain relief. The invention further relates to a method for installing an assembly as a junction box replacement with the following steps: contacting the electrical conductors (41) by means of electrical terminals (42), inserting the ends (40) of the electrical cables (4) into the case (1) through the clamping means (2), which is not yet clamped, and tightening the clamping means (2) and thus mechanically connecting the protective sheaths (43) of the electrical cables (4) to each other and to the case (1).

The invention relates to a cover to enclose a longitudinal section of at least one electrical conductor and prevent the formation of an arc or a flashover. The cover has at least two cover parts made of an electrically insulating material. A first cover part and a second cover part each have at least one passage opening. Each passage opening has an electrical conductor guided through it, so that no gap opening, or only a small gap opening remains between the outside surface of the conductor and a bordering wall of the passage opening. Moreover, the cover has at least one connection location. At this connection location, two of the cover parts that are present lie against one another in a force-fit and/or positive-fit manner and form a nondestructively detachable connection. This ensures accessibility to the protected longitudinal section.

A self-supporting overhead telecommunication/power cable includes a supporting portion and a transmission portion mutually arranged according to a figure-8 configuration. The transmission portion includes at a central position thereof, an optical fibre conductor and, at a radially outer position with respect to the optical fiber conductor, electrical conductors stranded around the optical fiber conductor. Preferably, the electrical conductors are grouped into sub-units which are stranded around the optical fiber conductor to provide a mechanical protection thereto.

An electrical junction box comprises an electrically conductive housing and at least one cable end wherein an everted braided shield section of the cable end is received in a retainer section of the housing and an electrically conductive adhesive is provided.

The present invention relates to an interface-forming device (x60) and a method for providing an electrically conductive power transmission interface (x30) on the end surface of a power cable (xOO) having at least two separate wires (x02) being electrically conductive, the cable (xOO) further comprising a reactive compound different from the wires (x02) for providing further features to the power cable (xOO). The method comprises the steps of providing an end section of the power cable (xOO), the end section comprising wires (x02) having wire ends, the end section further having the reactive compound, and successively adding electrically conductive particulates (x67A) onto the end section by bringing the conductive particulates being dispersed in a carrier fluid of a different material than the conductive particulates into contact with the end section. Thereby, cable joining and terminations are achieved of a higher quality.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to providing cable assemblies for cellular base stations having remote radio head units located atop a radio tower. Each installation requires near-custom cabling, as the electrical resistance of the conductors of the cable assembly varies based on the length of the cable assembly, and because different operators and local governments require different color-coding of the conductors which are coupled to the power trunk. Accordingly, a power distribution system is provided herein wherein conductors of a trunk cable may be coupled to power jumper conductors at transitions. The transitions are generally cylindrical and comprise channels into which splicing lugs are seated. The conductors may be electrically coupled together and secured via set screws. Manufacturing costs may be reduced, as common configurations of trunk cables may be manufactured in higher quantity and coupled to power jumper conductors according to local requirements.
