Abstract: A barrier cap permanently connected atop an existing Jersey barrier for raising the vertical height of said existing Jersey barrier at least about ten inches. The cap comprises: a substantially flat base for resting at least partially on said existing Jersey barrier; a pair of opposed sidewalls extending upwardly from its flat base; a top surface extending between the opposed sidewalls; and means for permanently connecting the barrier cap to the existing Jersey barrier. Preferred mounting means include: a plurality of elongated bolts extending from the top surface of the concrete adapter into the top surface of the Jersey barrier; or a plurality of vertically extending slats for bolting to an upper sidewall of the Jersey barrier.

Abstract: An electrical connector backshell assembly may include at least one cable containing at least one electrical wire that is protected by a shield, at least a portion of the shield being separable from the at least one electrical wire. The backshell assembly also may include a housing defining an opening configured to receive the at least one cable and a termination area electrically coupled to the housing. The separable portion of the shield may be urged into contact with the termination area.
