Abstract: A safety device is configured to be attached to components in an electrical substation to provide a physical and visual barrier between de-energized components and energized components in the electrical substation. The safety may include a safety barrier board formed from an electrically insulating material and configured to be attached to fastening devices that attach the safety barrier board to components in the substation. Each fastening device may be an inverted-J-hook configured to be attached to a surface of the safety barrier board or a coupling link attached to a variable length fastening component and an attachment hook.

Abstract: An Ethernet Optical Area Network (EOAN) system, and methods for implementing and using such an EOAN system, are disclosed. The EOAN system may be used to improve the speed and reliability of data communications networks for small to medium-sized companies in metropolitan area networks. The EOAN system provides end-to-end Ethernet protocol, enabling professionals to have high-speed data communications in real time. The EOAN system may be generally utilized for improving data communications between branch offices, home offices, campuses, and remote sites for a wide variety of industries. The present invention preferably includes a fiber optic ring, Network Operation Center (NOC), NOC architecture components, existing client equipment, and one or more Free Space Optic (FSO) devices, microwave communication technology, and/or data switching platforms to implement high-speed Ethernet-based connections such as within a specified metropolitan area.
