Abstract: A connector part of a connector unit with a male part and a female part, has at least one electrically conductive layer with at least one end region being electrically stressed after a mating process of the male part and the female part. To minimize electrical stress concentrations, the connector part has at least one stress control device for reducing electrical stress at the at least one end region.

Abstract: A prefabricated wall module may include framing members and one or more insulations members. The insulation member may have pre-incisions, as made by a hot-wire, defining service fitting accommodations. The service fitting accommodations are accessible on the inside face of the insulation. The service fitting accommodations may be either or both of vertically or laterally extending, and are located in the same places in each module, the vertical locations being next to the studs, to which service fittings may typically be mounted, the lateral accommodations being at heights typical of switches and wall outlets. The insulation members may be supplied with tabs filling the accommodations. The tabs may be snapped out as required. The insulation members may have stud channels that are shallower than the studs, such that an air gap is established between the insulation and the internal gypsum board covering.

Abstract: A cable termination apparatus is disclosed for an underwater cable with a conductive core, an axially extending annular insulation portion radially outwardly of the core and an axially extending annular conductive screen layer radially outwardly of the insulation portion. The apparatus includes a stress control sleeve, arranged to be located radially outwardly of the insulation portion and extend partially over the annular conductive screen layer. The stress control sleeve includes an insulating portion and a conductive portion. When the cable termination apparatus is assembled the conductive portion of the stress control sleeve is in contact with an end portion of the screen layer.

Abstract: A cable termination apparatus for an underwater cable is disclosed. The apparatus includes a cable crimp for electrically connecting the underwater cable to a pin; a conductive crimp screen; and an insulating portion which is located radially outwardly of the conductive crimp screen. The insulating portion has been moulded on the conductive crimp screen prior to assembly of the termination.

Abstract: A connector unit for connecting at least two cables includes a male part, a female part, and a shuttle piston. The shuttle piston includes at least one magnetic connecting device for establishing a magnetic connection between the shuttle piston, and at least one magnetic connecting aid of the male part and at least one latching structure for establishing a force-fitting connection between the shuttle piston and the female part. The male part includes the magnetic connecting aid for interaction with the magnetic connecting device of the shuttle piston for establishing the magnetic connection between the shuttle piston and the male part, and an interaction area for interaction in a force-fitting manner with at least one backing latch of the female part. The female part includes the backing latch for establishing the force-fitting connection and for interacting at least with the interaction area of the male part in a force-fitting manner.

Abstract: A connector unit for connecting at least two cables includes at least a male part, a female part, and a shuttle piston. The shuttle piston includes an opening configured for receiving at least a section of the male part, at least one latching device, and at least one latching structure. The male part includes the section configured for insertion into the opening of the shuttle pin, at least one latching aid, and an interaction area configured for a force-fitting interaction with at least one backing latch of the female part. The female part includes the at least one backing latch.

The apparatus has a cable crimp for electrically connecting the conductive core of the underwater cable to a pin and a conductive crimp screen. The crimp screen is arranged such that when the termination is assembled a portion of the conductive crimp screen extends axially over and is radially outwardly of the annular insulation portion of the cable.
