Abstract:
A tool for installing a metal locking tie is disclosed. The tool includes a tension mechanism and a ball set and cut-off mechanism. The tension mechanism tensions the metal locking tie wrapped around a bundle. The ball set and cut-off mechanism includes a guide block and a shear block that engages the guide block. Once the tool tensions the metal locking tie, a ball set and cut-off handle is manually activated to push the guide block and the shear block forward in the tool thereby setting a ball in a metal locking tie head and shearing a portion of the tensioned metal locking tie.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a modular containment system that redirects exhaust from cabinets without altering the cabinet. The modular containment system includes a docking station having a first and second bay. The first bay has a first side frame and a second side frame. A top support joins the front of the first and second side frames and cross bars join the back of the first and second side frames. The second bay is connected to the first bay. The second bay has a third side frame. The second bay also has cross bars and a top support that join the second and third side frames. A cabinet is positioned within one of the first and second bays.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a vertical exhaust duct for an electronic equipment enclosure. The vertical exhaust duct includes a first duct section, a second duct section slidably connected to the first duct section and extendable to a first height above the first duct section, and a third duct section slidably connected to the second duct section and extendable to a second height above the second duct section.
Abstract:
An aisle containment system is provided. The aisle containment system includes a pair of wall beams (100) suspended from a ceiling (300), a pair of floor tracks (200) positioned beneath the wall beams and secured to a floor (20), and at least one blanking panel (400, 500) secured to one of the wall beams (100) and one of the floor tracks (200).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a re-terminable no-crimp ST-type optical connector assembly.SOLUTION: A connector 10 includes: a housing of bayonet 100; a backbone 300 retained within a rear of the housing; a ferrule holder 700 provided within the backbone 300; and a cam 200 provided between the ferrule holder 700 and the backbone 300. The ferrule holder 700 includes an alignment key exposed to mate with a cam activation tool to lock rotation of the ferrule holder 700 relative to other components of the connector 10. The cam 200 includes a cam activation cutout at a front face thereof that mates with a cam activation tool interface to enable rotation of the cam 200 between de-activated and activated positions, the cam activation cutout also receiving the alignment key of the ferrule holder 700 therethrough.
Abstract:
An aisle containment apparatus having a pair of spaced apart upper rails and a pair of spaced apart lower rails positioned spaced apart from and below the pair of upper rails. A side blanking panel is secured to one of the pair of upper rails and to one of the pair of lower rails and a ceiling spans between the pair of upper rails. A fixed panel is secured to the pair of upper rails and to the pair of lower rails and a moveable panel is releasably secured to the pair of upper rails and is adjustably positioned along the pair of upper rails so as to position the moveable panel a predetermined distance from the first panel.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved, reversibly terminable fiber stub connector assembly that can be readily and positively terminated in the field using simple termination tools. SOLUTION: This allows repositioning or replacement of fiber optic cable field fibers if termination is not acceptable in performance. The tool may be a hand-held tool, or used in conjunction with a connector support structure to provide simplified and expeditious field termination of fiber optic cables. The cam tool can include a through hole that enables connection of a patchcord to the stub fiber of the connector during or shortly after termination without removal of the termination tool. Accordingly, field testing of the connection can be made at the site of termination. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
