Wire management systems and methods
A wire management system for managing electronic wiring in relation to a structure. An elongate mounting track has a spine and locking ribs forming first and second longitudinal locking formations, and a wire management cradle has a panel of mesh forming a central cradle section and first and second attachment sections with receiving channels forming first and second longitudinal locking formations for being selectively attached to the first and second longitudinal locking formations of the mounting track. A proximal portion of one of the attachment sections can be divided into plural segments separated by openings to allow the passage of wires. An accessory rail can selectively and adjustably retain accessories, including wire management clips and power units. The wire management clip and other accessories have retaining formation corresponding in shape to the shape of a retaining formation of the accessory rail.
T-Shaped Junction Box
The invention is gap junction box comprising a three-dimensional T-shape, enabling installation in a standard electrical circuit raceway without requiring the bending or moving of conduit lines.
WALL-MOUNTED BOX FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND INSTALLATION METHOD THEREOF
In general, the application of the present invention regards the electrical wiring of buildings. In particular, the solution identified concerns the positioning and installation of boxes suitable for housing electrical sockets, or control systems, or various sensors on the walls of the rooms, when these internal walls are made, or covered, with panels made of plasterboard or, alternatively, with other similar materials.
The present invention indicates a box for extracting electrical contacts from an electric line made by means of a “ribbon cable” laid under a surface finishing panel of a wall or ceiling. This box is easy to install, and makes an electrical power interface available on this wall, so that said power interface is accessible to a load.
System and method for securing power and communications cables and associated hardware within crown molding
A system for crown molding that enables safely incorporating electrical and communications cabling within crown molding by creating one or more protected paths which inherently prevent overly sharp bends in crown molding corners and by mitigating damage from penetrating punctures through a decorated face designed to fracture when improperly penetrated by a screw or nail, and enables the secure installation of hardware either concealed within the molding or securely and favorably positioned through the decorative face to view or sense a room, and enables additional cable capacity that is concealed within a light reflector to increase lighting efficacy as well as power and data delivery capacity.
Prefabricated Electrical Module and System
A prefabricated electrical module and system along with fabrication and installation methods are provided. The prefab electrical module includes a circuit breaker panel casing that houses multiple circuit breakers, and a chase extending upwardly from the panel casing that stows coiled lengths of homerun wiring attached to the circuit breakers. During transport, a temporary panel casing front cover protects the panel casing front, and a forwardly protruding guard cover with an upwardly projecting hoisting handle shields the front and top of the chase and wiring. During installation, a hoisting bracket is attached at the top of the stud bay into which the prefab electrical module will be installed. A drill-powered winch is then used to lift the module to the proper height in the bay. The panel casing, chase, wiring, and breakers remain in the wall. The hoisting bracket, temporary panel casing front cover, guard cover, drill, and winch are reusable.

QUICK ACCESS COVER FOR CABLE TRAY
The present disclosure is directed to a cover assembly for a cable tray having a cover and at least one panel. The cover for a cable tray has at least one access opening. The panel aligns with at least one access opening to allow access to the cable tray upon removal of the panel. The panel is selectively secured to the cover using fasteners placed through aligned cover fastener holes and panel fastener holes. The panel has a top edge, a bottom edge, and two side edges. The top edge of the panel comprises an upward facing lip. The bottom edge of the panel includes a tongue that has a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is generally directed in a downward angle, and the second portion is generally directed in an upward angle.
Current/voltage sensor and universal tap-off box
A tap-off box includes a latch that automatically secures the tap-off box to a busway upon insertion of a mast into the busway. The latch is in the form of a single spring-loaded member that latches onto a rail as the masthead is pushed into the busway. A push button actuated camming member pushes the latch away from the rail to enable the masthead to be withdrawn from the busway. The push button and camming member are independent of the mechanism that extends and retracts the contacts while the masthead is inserted and latched into the busway. The tap-off box may also include non-contact current monitoring sensors with voltage sensing inserts that an auxiliary breaker switch in applications other than a tap-off box, and an infrared emitting faceplate that can be adapted for monitoring a variety of breakers from outside the tap-off box.
Electrical Connector Assembly
An electrical connector assembly comprises a first connector and a second connector. The first connector has a hood defining a mating opening. The second connector has a housing body configured to be received in the hood, a rear end wall formed continuous with the housing body and projecting outward from the housing body in a circumferential direction, a lock arm configured to prevent disengagement of the first connector and the second connector, and a cover disposed at the rear end wall covering a portion of the lock arm. A front end surface of the rear end wall facing the second connector forms a uniformly continuous flat surface in a region including the cover.
Electrical Connector
An electrical connector that prevents water from entering the hood of the electrical connector. The electrical connector includes a housing adapted to be mated in a receiving space in a hood of a mating connector. On a top side of the electrical connector in a state where the electrical connector is mated to the mating connector, the housing includes an inclined surface having an inclination angle of more than 90° at a front end of the hood of the mating connector for draining water falling onto the electrical connector.
