Abstract: Techniques, described herein, enable a system of an enterprise to provide one or more of: Quick Response (QR) codes or radio frequency identification (RFID) tags corresponding to a plurality of locations for a plurality of user equipment devices (UE). Each location can be affiliated to a QR code or an RFID tag. Sets of tasks can be associated with status levels at the location that can be provided to the UEs in response to an authentication with the QR code or RFID tag within a proximity area of the location. Each of the sets of tasks can vary with each of the status levels.

Abstract: A cable assembly includes an elongate conductor surrounded by an outer insulator and an outer ferrule surrounding a portion of the conductor. An outer surface of the outer ferrule is deformed to produce an indentation having an indentation surface that is angled relative to the outer surface. The indentation forms a barb that at least partially penetrates the outer insulator. A method of manufacturing the cable assembly and a tool for forming the outer ferrule is also presented and described.
