  • Patent number: 6380486
    Abstract: A raceway separated into multiple wireways by a dividing element is presented, said dividing element being supported by divider clips having an intermediate “U” shape to envelope three sides of the dividing element. Raceway base sections are joined by a raceway coupling particularly adapted to lie along the sidewall of each raceway base section being joined so as not to interfere with the dividing element.

  • Patent number: 6002089
    Abstract: A non-linear raceway section for containing fiber optic and Category 5 signal conductors and formed by intersecting raceway runs coupled together in a region of intersection defines a non-linear raceway channel having an exposed angular corner therein. A radiused insert releasably retained within the raceway channel defines a portion of the channel and isolates the angular corner from the channel.

  • Patent number: 5995699
    Abstract: Two piece metal raceway (base and cover sections) accommodate not only fiber optic cable at 90 degree corner assemblies, that includes divider means defining a second wireway channel along side a first channel or wireway accommodating the fiber optic cable. The curved walls of the corner assembly base have a radius of two inches or more, and these walls include slots which receive tabs that may be spot welded and/or riveted to provide a permanent connection between the divider element and the raceway base corner fitting.

  • Patent number: 5917982
    Abstract: Two-piece metal raceway accommodates fiber optic cable at 90.degree. corner assemblies that include curved side or back walls. The bend radius of these curved walls is two (2) inches or more, and these walls are also formed with stops to locate the raceway base, and to protect the cable from abrasion due to the raceway base flanges. Each corner assembly also includes a cover that anchors the raceway base to the corner assembly.

  • Patent number: 5863016
    Abstract: A modular faceplate assembly having a faceplate and at least one modular panel received and supported within a frontal opening in the faceplate and releasably secured to the faceplate by concealed latches hingedly connected to the modular panel rearward of the faceplate for flexure between latching and releasing positions relative to keepers carried by the faceplate and resiliently biased to said latching positions. When the latches are in latching positions latch operators carried by the latches form closures for latch operating apertures opening through the frontal surface of the faceplate assembly. Cam surfaces on the latch operators facilitate operation of the latches to release the panel from the faceplate in response to insertion of an operating tool into the latch operating apertures.
