International Classification:

B23P 1902
H01R 4300
B25D 1100

US Classification:

295664

Abstract:

The present invention provides an impact shaft for use in a pneumatic wire termination tool. The tool has a handle, a pneumatically driven piston and a head frame for engaging and terminating a plurality of wires to a corresponding connector at the same time. The impact shaft includes a plurality of coaxially arranged cylindrical sections positioned end to end, including a dowel pin positioned at a first end and a head frame locator having the dowel pin projecting from a first end and an extension portion projecting from a second end. The dowel pin and the head frame locator are sized to operatively engage the head frame. A spring register portion includes a first end from which the extension portion projects, and also includes a plurality of facets arranged for engagement with a biased portion of the tool so as to maintain the rotational orientation of the impact shaft relative to the handle. An air barrel shaft projecting from a second end of the spring register is operatively engaged by the pneumatic wire termination tool.

US Classification:

439718

Abstract:

A protective cable cover separates cable routing from patchcords and cross-connect wire in a wiring trough. The cable cover is placed over the cable conductors on a wiring block cable organizer. The cable cover may be removed to allow for the addition or replacement of building cables without having to remove any adjacent patchcords. A circuit designation strip and row marking pads are provided to designate rows and circuit connections. A strike engages a latch on a patchcord plug to releasably retain the plug in engagement with the connecting block. Mounting holes are formed integral with the cable cover to engage latches on the cable organizer for releasably mounting the cable cover on the cable organizer.

International Classification:

H01B 300
H02G 300

US Classification:

174 72A

Abstract:

A cable management system includes an adapter plate disposed between a panel and a cabling component, such as a wiring block or wiring trough. The adapter plate includes a first plurality of fasteners and a first plurality of alignment pins extending orthogonally from a first surface, and second plurality of fasteners and a second plurality of alignment pins extending orthogonally from a second surface. The first plurality of fasteners engage tabs formed on the panel and the second plurality of fasteners engage features formed on the cabling component. The first plurality of alignment pins are disposed to engage alignment apertures formed in the panel. The second plurality of alignment pins are disposed to engage alignment apertures formed in the cabling component. The adapter plate can include an abutment portion disposed to abut the panel and cooperate with the first plurality of fasteners to position the adapter plate relative to the panel. The adapter plate can also include integrally molded cabling components to reduce the number of piece parts required for installation of a cabling system.

International Classification:

H01R 1360

US Classification:

439532

Abstract:

An adjustable modular panel for partially housing data carrying cables and facilitating connection between the cables and communication equipment. The modular panel includes first and second panel portions, each having an engaging edge for mating with each other and for forming between the first and second portions a trough having an area in which the cables are at least partially housed. A fastening device in the panel portions is releasably operable to secure the two panel portions together. Each panel further includes a mounting surface to which connection devices are mountable. In a preferred embodiment, a third panel having a pair of engaging edges is disposed between the first and second panel portions so that the engaging edges of the third panel mate with the engaging edges of the first and second panel portions, thereby expanding the trough area to accommodate an increased number of cables and/or cables having increased dimensions.
