Joint-use bracket for installing communication lines on utility pole
A joint-use bracket (JUB) for installing multiple communication lines in a joint-use section on a utility pole is disclosed. The JUB includes a curved plate having a generally rectangular shape elongated in a longitudinal direction and curved along a lateral direction. The curved plate is formed to have one or more attachment holes, one or more slots, and multiple threaded receiving holes. The JUB also has multiple hooks formed contiguous to the front surface of the curved plate, each hook having a threaded through hole, wherein multiple bolts are associated with the multiple hooks, respectively. Each hook is configured to hold a wire or a cable through a D-shaped opening that is formed by the hook and the bolt when the bolt is screwed in through the threaded through hole to have the end portion engaged with the threaded receiving hole.
GROUNDING SYSTEM
A grounding system, structured to ground a number of cables supported by a support assembly, includes a multi-function line assembly and a number of conductive mounting assemblies. Each conductive mounting assembly is structured to be coupled to the multi-function line and to a conductive pile.
Cable-clamp system for an electronic component within a telecommunications network
A cable-clamp system includes a clamp and a base structure located within an electronic chassis. The base structure includes an upper region, a first side region, and a second side region. The upper region includes a plurality of cable-receptor cavities for receiving the cables. The first side region includes an opening, and the second side region includes a slot. The clamp includes an engagement surface, a first end, and a second end. The first end includes a hook for insertion into the opening to allow pivoting movement of the clamp relative to the base structure. The second end includes a plunger for retention within the slot. When the clamp pivots downwardly to cause the engagement surface to engage the cables, the plunger is retained within the slot to maintain a clamping force on the cables between the base structure and the clamp.
JOINT-USE BRACKET FOR INSTALLING COMMUNICATION LINES ON UTILITY POLE
A joint-use bracket (JUB) for use for installing multiple cables associated with communication lines onto a joint-use section of a utility pole is disclosed. The JUB comprises: a curved plate having a generally rectangular shape elongated in a longitudinal direction and curved along a lateral direction, the curved plate formed to have multiple attachment holes therethrough and have multiple slots laterally formed on the front surface; multiple platforms, each platform contiguously formed on the front surface of the curved plate and having multiple receiving holes; multiple blocks configured to engage with the platforms, respectively, each block having multiple joining holes; and multiple joining fasteners configured to be inserted through the joining holes and the receiving holes, to fasten the block to the platform to clamp the cable that is placed laterally between the block and the platform, thereby to hold the cable securely.
ANTI-ROTATION CLAMP AND METHOD OF USE
An anti-rotation clamp and method of use may include a bolt having a threaded body along which a stabilizer moves relative to the threaded body, a stabilizer and an engagement member which engages the stabilizer to prevent relative rotation between the stabilizer and the engagement member as the threaded body is rotated.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR TEMPORARILY SUSPENDING CONDUCTORS
A set of components for assembling a temporary wire suspender includes in the set a yoke plate, a plurality of J-hook assemblies, a plurality of linkage members, and a plurality of removable couplers configurable to handle an expandable number of energized or de-energized conductors or sub-conductors. Positive control of the suspended and/or supported energized or de-energized conductors or sub-conductors is achieved by using releasable latches on the J-hook assemblies.
Thermal expansion slide with cable clamp
A cable management system configured to account for and accommodate physical movement of the cables being managed. The cable management system includes an elastic element, such as a spring, to accommodate for the anticipated expansion and/or contraction movements of the cables being managed. The cable management system may be applicable for vertical cable installation projects that are installed in outdoor applications.
Systems and methods for a clamp
A clamp for supporting an electrical conductor on a structure and providing electrical continuity between the electrical conductor and the structure is provided. The clamp can include a mounting member with a through-hole and a strap, that can be configured to extend around the structure, coupled on one end to a first side of the mounting member and having a free end removably coupled to a second side of the mounting member. The clamp can include a clamping member with a through-hole and a main bolt extending through the through-holes of the mounting member and the clamping member. The main bolt can have a footer configured to contact the structure, which can be movable between a first configuration in which the footer is nested within a pocket of the mounting member and a second configuration in which at least a portion of the footer is positioned outside of the pocket.
MULTI-LINE SUSPENDING BRACKET
A bracket for suspending multiple line segments at an elevated location is disclosed. The bracket has a back portion to engage against a supporting surface at the elevated location. The back portion has a left segment and a right segment. The bracket has at least one of a left arm extending from the left segment or a right arm extending from the right segment. The bracket has at least one of a first left seat extending from the left arm, a second left seat extending from the left arm, a first right seat extending from the right arm, or a second right seat extending from the right arm. At least one of the multiple line segments are supported by at least one of the first left seat, the second left seat, the first right seat, or the second right seat.
Clamp for suspending wire
A clamp for suspending a wire includes a housing having an inner support surface. The wire is disposed between the inner support surface and a keeper. The clamp further includes a fastening unit, including a first fastener and a second fastener attachable to the first fastener. The housing defines an opening extending in a direction along which the wire is received within the housing. After the second fastener is attached to the first fastener, the fastening unit is not removable from the housing. The fastening unit is movable, within the opening, between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the fastening unit cooperates with the keeper to decrease a distance between the inner support surface and the keeper. In the second position, the fastening unit does not cooperate with the keeper to decrease the distance.
