  • Patent number: 7208684
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a high voltage, insulated electrical power cable suitable for use adjacent to one or more low power signal communications conductors in metal or plastic conduit or raceway. In one preferred embodiment, the power cable includes a first group of one or more conductors for supplying power and a power conductor insulation jacket enclosing the first group of one or more conductors. The power conductor insulation jacket includes a soft magnetic material that functions as an electromagnetic field shield in the radio frequency range of approximately 1 megahertz to 400 megahertz thereby protecting the integrity of signals transmitted on the adjacent signal communications conductors.

  • Patent number: 7205480
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a hybrid electrical cable providing for power transmission or distribution and data and/or voice signal communications. In one preferred embodiment, the hybrid electrical cable includes a power cable having a group of one or more high voltage power conductors for conducting power and one or more groups of low power signal conductors for transmitting voice and/or data and/or control signals. The cable further includes a power cable insulation jacket overlying the group of one or more power conductors. The power cable insulation jacket includes a soft magnetic material, preferably a soft ferrite magnetic material, for RF absorption. The cable additionally includes an outer grounded metallic jacket or sheath overlying the power cable, the power cable insulation jacket and the one or more groups of low power conductors.

  • Patent number: 7048550
    Abstract: An electrical adapter (100) includes a first housing member (1), a second housing member (2) coupled with the first housing member, and a number of first, second and third conductive terminals (312, 322, 332). The first housing member has a first mating face (11) defining a first upper and lower receptacles (111, 112). The second housing member has a second mating face (21) defining a second receptacle (211). The first, second and third conductive terminals (312, 322, 332) respectively have contacting portions (314, 324, 334) extending into corresponding receptacles. Latching means are arranged between the first and second housing members so as to fasten the first housing member and the second housing together.

  • Patent number: 4588249
    Abstract: A coaxial cable tap connector comprises a cable-engaging member having a channel therealong in which a section of a coaxial cable is to be disposed. Outer conductor contact members are located in the cable-engaging member within the channel on each side of a threaded hole, the contact members including post sections disposed within a printed circuit board guide slot of the cable-engaging member. A clamp-retaining member has a movable clamp member disposed therein and is slidably positioned onto the cable-engaging member, the clamp member having a channel for engaging the cable. A driving member is mounted on the clamp-retaining member and engages the clamp member thereby driving the clamp member into clamping engagement with the cable and clamping the cable between the clamp member and the cable-engaging member within the channels thereof.
