  • In-line cable connector assembly
    Patent number: 6592395
    Abstract: A connector assembly for connecting wire leads of a first cable to corresponding wire leads of a second cable. A terminal housing structure has a first base, and a second base facing opposite to the first base. First pairs of connector terminals are configured to connect with pairs of wire leads of the first cable, and second pairs of connector terminals are configured to connect with pairs of wire leads of the second cable. A wiring board captured between the first and second bases has sets of conductive terminal openings at corresponding locations in the board. The first pairs of connector terminals are mounted on one side of the board in first pairs of terminal openings, and the second pairs of connector terminals are mounted on the opposite side of the board in second pairs of terminal openings which are electrically connected to the first pair of openings. The sets of terminal openings are spaced apart sufficiently to avoid cross-talk between the pairs of connector terminals.

  • Cable trough arrangement
    Patent number: 6318680
    Abstract: An arrangement for retaining wires or cables inside a trough having base wall, and first and second side walls extending generally parallel to one another from the base wall. The arrangement includes one or more pairs of trapezoidal retainer plates supported on the side walls so that each pair of plates are in confronting relation to one another above the trough. Each retainer plate has a base portion, and an end portion forming an outside edge which defines an approximately 45-degree angle with respect to parallel side edges of the plate. The outside edges of each pair of confronting plates form a gap through which wires or cables can be inserted into or withdrawn from the trough. The gap forms an acute angle with respect to the side walls of the trough, so that inserted wires or cables will be retained by each pair of confronting retainer plates.
