Abstract: A patch panel assembly including a cable manager, a front panel, and a cable grip holder having adjustable holding elements for securing a cable. The front panel is pivotable between a normal position and a pivoted position.

Abstract: An upgradeable patch panel assembly and associated method of upgrading a patch panel assembly. The upgradeable patch panel assembly including a panel base having an aperture sized to receive a scanner interface cable. The method including removing a first cover from the panel base, inserting a scanner interface cable through the existing aperture in the panel base, and attached an upgraded cover to the panel base. Upgrading the patch panel assembly is completed while the assembly remains mounted to a frame and without disconnecting rear cable connections. The upgraded patch panel assembly provides jack-occupancy monitoring capabilities.

Abstract: A fire simulator comprises fuel distribution means (12) for fuelling flames in a fire simulation, the fuel distribution means being associated with fuel-heating means (9, 11) disposed generally beneath the fuel distribution means for applying the fuel distribution means heat that emanates from the flames in use, thereby promoting vaporisation of liquid fuel in the fuel distribution means.

Abstract: A device for securing a vehicle antenna to a vehicle body is described, to prevent the vehicle antenna from tilting out of the vehicle body in the mounting operation. The device includes projections which engage behind an orifice in the vehicle body for introducing the device on the side of the vehicle body facing away from the vehicle antenna.

Abstract: An assembly 10 for use in connecting optical fibers comprising a plurality of housings 12 for housing optical fibre connections. Each housing is pivotally mounted with respect to an associated rigid routing member 14 which has passages for routing fibers to the housing via respective flexible conduit means which extend between the routing member and the housing. Adjacent routing members 14 are push-fittable together such that the housings 12 are in an aligned bank when in stowed positions. Each housing 12 is pivotable from its stowed position out of alignment with the other housings for access.

Abstract: A system for guiding optical fibres comprises a device which includes a plurality of units, each of which defines a row of ducts extending from a first end of the unit to a second end thereof for guiding optical fibres. The units are arranged successively in overlapping relationship with their first ends in substantial alignment at an end portion of the device and their second ends being spaced apart at successively increasing distances from the device end portion.
