Publication number: 20070128939Abstract: A cable hanger having shell halves adapted to mate with each other, the shell halves each having an inner surface adapted to cooperate with the other to secure the cable within a cable space. The mating of the shell halves is releasably secured by a means for closure. A bolt hole through at least one of the shell halves allows easy mounting of the cable hanger. The shell halves each having, along a vertical mating surface, a means for interlocking adapted to interlock with the means for interlocking of a second cable hanger positioned against the cable hanger along the vertical mating surface. A connection side of the cable hanger may be adapted to have a means for latching to couple with a third cable hanger, positioned connection side to connection side with the cable hanger. The cable hanger allowing additional cables to be added without modifying the mounting of the base hanger.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2006Publication date: June 7, 2007Applicant: Andrew CorporationInventors: David Low, Raymond Horvath, Albert Cox, Eric Nofziger, Richard Korczak

Patent number: 7171753Abstract: A tool for mid-span cable stripping having a wheel enclosure surrounding an inner wheel with at least one cable saddle formed in an outer circumference, the cable saddle(s) adapted to rotatably cradle a cable of a desired outer diameter. The wheel enclosure having an access cut-away with an over hanging portion that exposes the cable saddle for insertion of the cable. The cable saddle moveable, via rotation of the inner wheel, under the overhanging portion whereby the cable in the cable saddle is retained and a blade coupled to the wheel enclosure with a cutting edge projecting inward engages the cable. Rotation of the tool about the cable strips an outer sheath of the cable. Where multiple cable saddles of different sizes are formed about the circumference of the inner wheel, the tool may be used with a range of different diameter cables.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2004Date of Patent: February 6, 2007Assignee: Andrew CorporationInventors: Richard Korczak, Timothy Crawford, Al Cox, David Low

Publication number: 20050239324Abstract: A sealing assembly for a cable to apparatus interconnection formed by a plurality of shells adapted to mate together, surrounding the interconnection within an interconnection space. When mated together, the shells forming openings for the cable and the apparatus at an apparatus end and a cable end, respectively. A gasket mounted to each shell along a mating surface between the shells and along the openings environmentally seals the interconnection space. A locking rib projecting inward from the shell(s) may be applied to rotationally interlock a coupling nut of the interconnection with the sealing assembly. In a two shell embodiment, a locking band positioned around an outer diameter of the mated together shells with an end to end retaining means may be used to secure the shells together. Alternatively, if three shells are used, the shells may be hinged together and a retaining means applied to join the unhinged ends together.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2004Publication date: October 27, 2005Applicant: ANDREW CORPORATIONInventors: David Low, Albert Cox, Tim Crawford, Richard Korczak, Raymond Horvath

Patent number: 6548762Abstract: A device for grounding a transmission line having a diameter and an outer portion partially removed, revealing an exposed section. The grounding device includes an insert connected to the exposed section of the transmission line. A contact mechanism is included on the grounding device and electrically connects the exposed section of the transmission line. The contact mechanism automatically adjusts to fit the diameter of the transmission line, so that an electrical contact may be maintained with transmission lines having a variety of diameters. The device also includes a grounding line coupled to the insert, thus, providing a ground for the transmission line.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2001Date of Patent: April 15, 2003Assignee: Andrew CorporationInventors: Mekell Jiles, Richard Korczak, Robert Walter
