Abstract: A coaxial cable with two hour circuit integrity is provided and can include an inner conductor, an outer conductor, an insulating layer disposed between the inner conductor and the outer conductor that includes a polymer support structure and air pockets that act as a dielectric for a signal transmitted through the inner conductor, an outer jacket, and a flame barrier disposed between the outer jacket and the outer conductor to avoid choking the signal, wherein the flame barrier can prevent fire from advancing from the outer jacket to the outer conductor for at least two hours.

Abstract: A collar retention system is provided that can be used in connection with a packaging device for dispensing elongated flexible material. Some systems can include one or more of retention collars, retention rings, or an elongated rotatable member around which primary collars can be located that can support the primary collars for resisting outward pressure thereon from the elongated flexible material or to prevent the primary collars from shifting lengthwise along the elongated rotatable member away from a lengthwise center of the elongated rotatable member and towards lengthwise opposing ends of the elongated rotatable member.

Abstract: A payout device that includes a carton, a rotatable member, and a slot is provided. The carton can include an opening that provides an egress for elongated flexible material stored within the carton. The rotatable member can be disposed within the carton, the rotatable member can have a circumference, and the elongated flexible material can be wound around the rotatable member. The slot can rotatably support the rotatable member, the slot can have a round shape that is larger than the circumference of the rotatable member, at least a portion of the rotatable member can be slidable within the slot between a payoff position and a braking position, the rotatable member can be rotatable within the slot when in the payoff position for dispensing the elongated flexible material from the opening in the carton, and the payoff position can be elevated relative to the braking position.

Abstract: A payout device is provided, wherein the payout device can include a carton, a rotatable member, and a support assembly. The carton can include an opening providing an egress for elongated flexible material stored within an interior compartment, and the interior compartment can be cylindrical in a substantially horizontal direction around a rotatable member therein. The support assembly can have a slot for rotatably supporting the rotatable member, wherein the slot can have a generally teardrop shape with a larger diameter end, sized to allow the rotatable member to rotate therein, and a smaller diameter end, sized smaller than a circumference of the rotatable member. The rotatable member can be slidable between the larger and smaller diameter ends, and the slot can be positioned on the carton with the larger diameter end being in a position that is elevated and closer to the opening than the smaller diameter end.

Abstract: A payout device is provided, wherein the payout device includes a carton, an elongated rotatable member and a support assembly. The carton has a plurality of panels enclosing an interior compartment. At least one panel has an opening providing an egress for elongated flexible material stored within the interior compartment. The elongated member is rotatably supported in a substantially horizontal direction within the carton by the support assembly. The support assembly has a slot with a generally teardrop shape. The teardrop shape has a larger diameter end and a smaller diameter end such that a portion of the rotatable member is slidable therebetween. The larger diameter end is sized to allow the rotatable member to rotate, and the smaller diameter end has a size smaller than the circumference of the rotatable member. The slot is positioned on the carton with the larger diameter end being elevated and closer to the opening than the smaller diameter end.
