A bracket and associated components provides a means to securely install one or more connectors within a dropped ceiling. The bracket can be mounted to a drop wire or threaded rod within a ceiling space, thereby suspending the bracket and associated connectors within the ceiling space. One or more connectors coupled to a cable can be directly installed on the bracket via port windows cut into the bracket. Alternatively, a surface mount box containing connectors can be mounted on the bracket to yield a protected, strain-resistant connector installation within the ceiling space. The bracket and associated components can be made of plenum-rated materials, making the mounting solution suitable for installations within plenum spaces.

A cable backplane system includes cable backplanes each including a tray configured to be coupled to a chassis and a plurality of cable connector assemblies mounted to the tray. The tray has a plate extending between a front and a rear with mounting locations receiving corresponding cable connector assemblies. The trays are oriented parallel to each other with front openings between the fronts of the plates and rear openings between the rears of the plates. Each cable connector assembly has a housing holding contacts terminated to corresponding cables. Each cable connector assembly has a holder mounted to the corresponding mounting location of the plate. The holder is mounted to the plate and removable from the plate through the rear opening at the rear of the plate.

A power plug includes a conductive module, a pin, an adapter terminal and a circuit board. The conductive module includes an injection-molded insulating body and a contact terminal secured to the insulating body during an injection molding process. The contact terminal includes a tail portion extending beyond the insulating body from one side of the insulating body and configured to be connected to the pin, and a contact portion extending beyond the insulating body from another side of the insulating body and configured to mate with the adapter terminal. The adapter terminal is electrically connected with the circuit board.

An electric connection assembly for a control cabinet, the electric connection assembly including a base body having an opening structure; an electric connector for connection to a plurality of external electric cables, the connector being connected to the base body and aligned with the opening structure; and a support structure including a rail for supporting a plurality of electric connection terminals, the support structure being connected to the base body opposite to the connector. A control cabinet for an industrial robot including an electric connection assembly is also provided. A robot system including an industrial robot, a control cabinet and a plurality of external electric cables connected to the industrial robot and to the connector is also provided.

A retainer apparatus includes a post having a first end to be received by an opening of a wall plate cover of an outlet and a second end opposite the first end. At least a portion of the post has a plurality of grooves positioned between the first end and the second end. The plurality of grooves forming a retainer-receiving portion. A plug retainer is moveably coupled to the post. The plug retainer to slide along the retainer-receiving portion in a linear direction relative to the grooves when the plug retainer is moved relative to the retainer-receiving portion of the post.
