PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clamp which guides and fixes cable through a cable control system.SOLUTION: A clamp comprises a main body member and a latch member integrally formed with the main body member. The main body member comprises the latch member containing at least one cable guide and an arm extending in outward direction. The latch member pivots from an opened position to a closed position on the main body member. Each arm is disposed on the cable guide in order to fix the cable located to the cable guide when the latch member is in the closed position.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for finding the location of a device connected to a network path to which destination devices are attached. SOLUTION: A documentation system includes a port which includes an electronic module with an identification code. The destination device includes an identification code and the source device sends query signals along a network path addressed to the port and destination device. The electronic module of the data port responds to the query addressed and transmits its identification code to the source device. A processor and a switch send the query signal to the source device, directs the source device to interpret the responses, and the electronic modules corresponding to the data port and to the destination port are powered by a local power source and patch cord. A patch cord may be adapted to provide power from the local power source both to the destination device and to the data port. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a connector to be easily mounted to and removed from a connector receptacle. SOLUTION: A connector mounting receptacle 40 comprises either a mounting base part 41 or a wall plate 65 having a spaced-apart tooth and a resilient latch 106 disposed to engage with mounting slots 46, 48 in a modular connector to releasably mount the connector 43 to the receptacle. The connector comprises corner mounting slots 66 disposed to engage with lateral stoppers formed in the wall plate. A steel wall plate receptacle is integrally formed of conductive metal with the connector latching features being configured to concurrently releasably latch and conductively grounding a shielded connector formed in the receptacle.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cable tie which has reduced thread force of a cable strap and is difficult to come off, when re-inserted. SOLUTION: The cable tie includes a strap 104, having a cable tie head 102 and a free end. The cable tie head 102 includes a receiving cavity 180 of a metal locking device 136 located adjacent to and opening toward the strap exit end and a mounting slot 130. The mounting slot 130 has an inner support wall 162, an outer support wall 164 and a support slot for coupling the mounting sot 130 to the receiving cavity 180. The metal locking device 136 is provided with a free end, positioned within a strap accepting channel and a fixed end, having at least one bent tang 132 outwardly protruding from a surface of the metal-locking device 136.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cable tie that requires less insertion force for the cable strap and which has a clean exterior appearance. SOLUTION: With this cable tie, a strap accepting channel 122 is provided in the locking head 102 that is substantially parallel to a strap attachment axis. The strap accepting channel 122 is divided into a first part, which is secured to the strap, and a second part, which holds a locking device, allowing the strap accepting channel 122 to be closer to the cable tie being bundled. Further, in the case of a two-piece cable tie having a metal locking device, the locking device 136 is preferably bent so as to have a fixed end 134 substantially parallel to the axis of the strap accepting channel 122 and a free end 138 positioned within the strap accepting channel 122 at an acute angle relative to the strap accepting channel axis.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily, efficiently and positively fasten optical fibers to a connecting box while damage to the optical fibers is prevented, and improve the connecting box for the optical fiber and the method of positioning the optical fibers with respect to the connecting box. SOLUTION: The connecting box for optical fibers is provided with walls having entrance slots 32, each of which is at least partly formed out of separated edge parts, and conduit tubes 42, each of which has plural radial grooves 43 and encloses optical fibers 28. The outside diameter of at least one groove out of the radial grooves 43 is approximately equal to the distance between the separated edge parts of the entrance slot, and when the separated edge parts of the entrance slot 32 is arranged in one groove out of the radial grooves 43 of the conduit tube 42, the conduit tube 42 is fastened to the connecting box.
Abstract:
Connector mounting receptacles include either a mounting base or a wall plate having a spaced apart tooth and resilient latch disposed to engage mounting slots in a modular connector to releasably mount the connector to the receptacle.

Steel wall plate receptacles are integrally formed of conductive metal with the connector latching features being configured to concurrently releasably latch and conductively ground a shielded connector mounted in the receptacle.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector which reduces cross talk between conductor pairs terminated in the connector and is easily terminated while reducing cross talk between twisted pair conductors terminated in the connector.SOLUTION: A modular plug connector 20 comprises substantially planar aligned conductor positioning channels 30 that position individual conductors 21 for termination by a plurality of flat insulator displacement contacts 36. A plurality of conductor termination slots 34 are formed parallel to and in communication with each of the conductor positioning channels such that insertion of insulator displacement contacts into the conductors during termination of the contacts causes each of the conductors to be forced into the slots to shift adjacent conductors. The modular plug is provided with a latch arm 56 that includes a free end 52 that extends downwardly toward a top wall 25 of the connector to terminate in close proximity to the surface of the connector or extends into a depression in the surface of the connector.
