Patent number: 10522986Abstract: An integral, unitary pre-expanded cover assembly unit for covering an electrical connection between first and second electrical cables each having a primary conductor and a neutral conductor includes a cover assembly, a holdout and a holdout support. The cover assembly includes an elastomeric sleeve and a duct. The elastomeric sleeve defines a cable passage to receive the electrical connection and the primary conductors of the first and second cables. The duct overlies the elastomeric sleeve. The duct defines a duct passage configured to receive at least one of the neutral conductors therethrough. The holdout is removably mounted within the cable passage of the elastomeric sleeve. The holdout defines a holdout passage. The holdout maintains the elastomeric sleeve in an expanded state. The holdout support is removably mounted within the holdout passage. The holdout support reinforces the holdout.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: TE Connectivity CorporationInventors: Kok Chywn Chuang, Edward O'Sullivan, Mahmoud K. Seraj

Patent number: 10063947Abstract: A cable boot is mounted to a telecommunications module housing an optical component, wherein the cable boot extends outwardly from the module. The cable boot is mounted by axially passing the cable boot over a plurality of cables carrying fiber optic signals leading to the optical component, axially passing a portion of the cable boot through a cutout defined on a main housing of the telecommunications module, placing a boot retainer over the boot in a direction transverse to the axial direction to capture the flexible boot against movement both in the axial direction and the transverse direction, and mounting a cover on the main housing to capture the boot retainer against the main housing.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2017Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: CommScope Technologies LLCInventors: Scott C. Kowalczyk, Kok Chywn Chuang, Rodney C. Schoenfelder

Patent number: 9960576Abstract: An integral, unitary cover assembly for covering an electrical connection between first and second electrical cables each having a primary conductor and a neutral conductor includes an inner elastomeric sleeve, an outer elastomeric sleeve, and a collapsible duct. The inner elastomeric sleeve defines a cable passage to receive the electrical connection and the primary conductors of the first and second cables. The outer elastomeric sleeve surrounds the inner sleeve. The collapsible duct is interposed radially between the inner and outer sleeves. The duct defines a neutral conductor passage configured to receive at least one of the neutral conductors therethrough. The duct is selectively collapsible from an initial open configuration to a collapsed configuration about the at least one neutral conductor.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2016Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: TE CONNECTIVITY CORPORATIONInventor: Kok Chywn Chuang
