An assembly for supporting a power strip is provided and includes a housing. The housing extends between an upper end and a lower end. The housing includes front and rear enclosures. The front enclosure includes a front wall, an interior wall, and a first cord support. The front wall defines a front aperture. The interior wall extends from the front wall at the upper end. The interior wall at least partially defines an interior receptacle that is configured to receive a body of a power strip. The rear enclosure includes a rear wall and a second cord support disposed at the lower end. The interior wall and the rear enclosure cooperate to enclose a body of a power strip within the interior receptacle. The first cord support and the second cord support cooperate with each other to facilitate retention of a cord therebetween.

A cover for an electrical receptacle including a faceplate. The cover also includes a first transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a first power line of the electrical receptacle and a second transmission tab configured to be electrically connected to a second power line of the electrical receptacle. Additionally, the cover includes a device (such as a light source, circuit, port, or sensor) in communication with the first transmission tab and the second transmission tab.

A stackable storage system is disclosed. The system includes a base storage container disposed on a wheeled cart, and one or more additional storage containers removably secured on top of the base container. The system further includes a power outlet box which is interchangeably securable in the system with the other storage containers. The power outlet box includes an extendable AC power cord which may be plugged into a wall outlet, and one or more electrical output plugs, include AC outlets and USB outlets which are powered by the AC power cord. The power outlet box and other containers are securable to each other by a spring loaded latch system. The power outlet box is also usable separate with a storage container having an overhead carry handle allowing both the container and power box to be transportable together.

A server node connection system uses two or more proximity sensors per server node to determine progressive, real time changes in wipe length for each individual connector on the node that is connected to an opposing header connector on header connected to a midplane of the server assembly/rack. The system is capable of scanning, monitoring, trending, and alarming.

In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a connector plug for attachment to a single pair Ethernet cable comprising a pair of conductors, and configured for being received in a connector receptacle. The connector plug includes a first end for receiving the single pair Ethernet cable and a second end having a pair of contacts, each of the contacts comprising a receptacle contact interface, a conductor interface, and an extension to provide an increased width between conductor gripping prongs at the conductor interface while maintaining a consistent spacing between the pair of contacts at the receptacle contact interface with connector plugs configured to mate with different gauge cables. The connector plug comprises a latch for secure attachment to the receptacle and a pull cord connected to the latch and accessible when the connector plug is inserted into the receptacle with other connector plugs for release of the connector plug.

An exemplary installation element for electrical connectors has a base housing in which at least one electrical plug socket is arranged, and an outer housing which has at least one through opening. A rotatable closure is arranged between the outer housing and the base housing. The installation element also has a drive motor and transmission which moves the closure linearly and rotationally, responsive to at least one control signal. The at least one through opening in the installation element can be opened and closed automatically without manual manipulation of the closure.

An electrical wall plate may include one or more of the following features. A face plate comprising at least one electrical device opening extending through the face plate. At least one box mounting screw opening configured to receive at least one box mounting screw to fasten the face plate to an electrical device. A power connector extending in a direction away from the face plate and configured to connect with the electrical device. A camera integrated with the face plate and in electrical connection with the power connector and configured to operate by power obtained from the electrical device when the power connector is connected to the electrical device. A camera movement control feature may comprise externally-engageable components coupled to the face plate and configured to movably position the camera or a camera lens by pan or tilt to point in different directions.

A multi-position conversion device and a conversion socket with the multi-position conversion device; the first pin, the second pin, the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet are installed together onto the main frame to modularize and integrate the conversion device; therefore, only one main frame is needed to complete the installation of the first pin, the second pin, the first connecting sheet and the second connecting sheet, and this can effectively decrease the volume of the multi-position conversion device and thus decrease the volume and weight of the whole conversion socket, prevent the conversion socket from sagging due to gravity and thus increase the corresponding user experience and safety; meanwhile, after being modularized, the multi-position conversion device is installed directly into the housing and thus can decrease the assembling steps, reduce the assembling difficulty and finally improve the assembling efficiency.

A modular power distribution system, comprising a client device configured to be inserted into a host device, and having a series of independently configurable electrical connections and predetermined electrical connections connecting the host device, the client device, and a cable to deliver power from the cable to a peripheral of the client. A modular power distribution system, comprising a host device having first and second compartments, the second compartment being dimensioned to automatically align the client electrical coupler with the host electrical coupler and form a protective barrier while the client electrical coupler is in contact with the host electrical coupler. A modular power distribution system comprising a multi-gang host device and a client assembly, and having a series of independently configurable electrical connections and predetermined electrical connections connecting the multi-gang host device, the client assembly, and a cable(s) to deliver power from the cable the client assembly.

An electric apparatus including a connector holding six connecting terminals is provided. Three one-side connecting terminals held by the connector are arranged side by side in a row substantially directly below conductive terminals of three phases of one DC-AC converter. Three another-side connecting terminals held by the connector are arranged side by side in a row at positions offset to a side away from the one-side connecting terminals in an axial direction. Upper-end side connecting parts of the three one-side connecting terminals are set to be lower than upper-end side connecting parts of the three another-side connecting terminals, and are connected to the corresponding conductive terminals above via busbars extending in an up-down direction. The upper end-side connecting parts of the three another-side connecting terminals are connected to corresponding conductive terminals via busbars extending along an arrangement direction of the conductive terminals.
