Abstract: A splitting unit for a single pair Ethernet (SPE) hybrid line includes an input connection element, a first output connection element, a second output connection element, and an active unit providing power and data at the second output connection element. The input connection element, the first output connection element, and the second output connection element transfer power and data. The active unit has a power sourcing equipment (PSE) connected to the input connection element and to at least one of the first output connection element and the second output connection element. The PSE taps power from a power line onto a data line.

Abstract: A distribution automation device for receiving a plug connector includes a housing having a socket at least partially receiving the plug connector. The socket has a locking feature engaging a complementary locking feature of the plug connector. The locking feature and the housing are formed integrally with one another as a monolithic unit.

Abstract: A contact arrangement for a connector includes a plurality of contact elements each extending from a first connection side to a second connection side. A plurality of first end sections of a first subset of the contact elements contact a plurality of external elements in a first plane at the first connection side and a plurality of first end sections of a second subset of the contact elements contact a plurality of external elements in a second plane at the first connection side. The second plane is parallel to and spaced from the first plane in a height direction. A plurality of intermediate sections of at least some of the contact elements lie in a single common plane.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly including a first connector with header contact blade (s) and a second connector with receptacle contact blade (s), The connectors are pivotable with respect to each other. The second connector includes a receptacle housing with an entrance for insertion of a header contact blade between a contact surface of the receptacle contact blade and an opposite surface. The entrance allows insertion in an angular range of mating directions within a plane perpendicular to the main pivoting axis. The contact surface of the receptacle contact blade and the opposite surface converge towards the main pivoting axis over said angular range. The receptacle contact blade has a free peripheral portion at the entrance of the receptacle housing, which is resiliently movable with respect to the receptacle housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a water barrier, in particular a dike, comprising an inner slope, a crown and an outer slope, wherein the outer slope is located on the waterside. The water barrier is characterized in that the natural vegetation of at least one of the elements of inner slope, crown and outer slope is provided with fibers inserted into said vegetation.
