Abstract: A one-piece flexible strap clamp which may be wrapped in either of two directions about barriers, or about objects of varying shape such as insulators or lugs, or around fences, or about linear objects such as cable, wire, or bundles of cable or wire. The clamp may be installed onto a variety of support surfaces, such as underground support arms, wildlife/animal barriers, dielectric covers, or tubular guards, without the need for any additional fasteners or other mounting equipment or pieces, and is more tamper proof than previous versions.

Abstract: A new and improved contact terminal for modular, telephone-style plugs. An elongated opening is provided in the central portion of the contact terminal for reducing capacitive coupling between contacts, resulting in better cross-talk isolation. Two parallel signal paths are also provided thereby, reducing signal reflections and improving the VSWR. A substantial savings in gold-plating is also provided by reducing the surface area of the contact terminal.

Abstract: A cable protector for insertion into the open end of a duct or conduit for preventing a cable pulled therethrough from being damaged by the edges of the duct or conduit. The cable protector has a substantially C-shaped cross-section and includes a turned-over lip which encapsulates the end of the duct and prevents the cable protector from being pulled into the duct or conduit. A groove at the juncture of the lip and a curved transitional portion facilitates folding of the cable protector to allow insertion thereof into a variety of sizes of ducts or conduits. Ribs located on the external surface of the body of the cable protector ensures a substantially tubular configuration of the protector after its diameter has been reduced to fit into the intended duct or conduit. The inside surface of the cable protector may be textured to minimize friction.
