Abstract: A dust cap is adapted to cover an end of a fiber optic connector that includes a release sleeve. The dust cap includes a sleeve with an open end and a closed end, at least one resilient latch, a connector stop, and a sealing face. The dust cap is installed on the fiber optic connector by placing the open end of the sleeve over the end of the fiber optic connector. The resilient latch retains the dust cap on the fiber optic connector by latching to a second end of the release sleeve. The sealing face of the dust cap is adapted to abut a first end of the release sleeve, and the connector stop is adapted to abut a connector body of the fiber optic connector when the dust cap is fully installed.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques for facilitating installing a fiber optic connector at the end of a fiber optic cable. One aspect of the disclosure involves splicing a first fiber optic cable to a second fiber optic cable. The second fiber optic cable may be pre-connectorized. In certain embodiments, a plurality of splice enclosure components are positioned to form a splice enclosure that encloses the portion of an optical fiber of the first cable that is spliced to an optical fiber of the second cable. The splice enclosure protects the optical fibers at the site of the splice and securely holds the strength members of the fiber optic cables. Furthermore, splice enclosure components are positioned to form a cable enclosure that encloses the splice enclosure and exposed portions of the fiber optic cables.

Abstract: A telecommunications termination panel includes a housing having a top, a bottom, a first side and a second opposing side defining a front opening and a rear opening. The housing defines a cable entry adjacent the rear opening and a cable exit adjacent the rear opening, wherein the rear opening is adjacent the first side. A tray is pivotably mounted within the front opening of the housing, pivoting about a vertical axis located adjacent the first side and including a cable entry and a cable exit adjacent the vertical pivot axis and a plurality of connection locations. A cable path is defined between the rear opening of the housing and the tray, the cable path defined by a cable guide defining a channel for receiving cables, the cable guide including a slidable structure configured for pushing cables into the channel defined by the cable guide.

Abstract: A dust cap is adapted to cover an end of a fiber optic connector that includes a release sleeve. The dust cap includes a sleeve with an open end and a closed end, at least one resilient latch with a retainer, and a sealing surface. The dust cap is installed on the fiber optic connector by placing the open end of the sleeve over the end of the fiber optic connector. The dust cap is retained on the fiber optic connector by capturing the retainer of the resilient latch between an interior portion of the release sleeve and a retaining pocket of the fiber optic connector. The sealing surface of the dust cap is adapted to sealingly engage a perimeter of the release sleeve when the dust cap is fully installed.

Abstract: An HVAC controller includes a controller housing having an aperture and a battery tray removably disposed within the aperture. The battery tray can include an outer wall and a beam element fixed relative to the outer wall and extending away from the outer wall. The beam element can have a free end and an end element disposed on or adjacent to the free end.

Abstract: A thermostat having a thermostat housing and a rotatable selector disposed on the thermostat housing. The rotatable selector adapted to have a range of rotatable positions, where a desired parameter value is identified by the position of the rotatable selector along the range of rotatable positions. The rotatable selector rotates about a rotation axis. A non-rotating member or element, which may at least partially overlap the rotatable selector, may be fixed relative to the thermostat housing via one or more support member(s). The one or more support member(s) may be laterally displaced relative to the rotation axis of the rotatable selector. The non-rotatable member or element may include, for example, a display, a button, an indicator light, a noise making device, a logo, a temperature indicator, and/or any other suitable device or component, as desired.

Abstract: A thermostat having a thermostat housing and a rotatable selector rotatably coupled to the thermostat housing via a support member. The rotatable selector is adapted to have a range of rotatable positions, wherein a desired parameter value is identified by the position of the rotatable selector along the range of rotatable positions. The thermostat further includes a mechanical to electrical translator that is laterally offset relative to the support member for translating the mechanical position of the rotatable selector to an electrical signal that is related to the desired parameter value.
