20080268687 | ELECTRICAL METAL CLAD CONNECTORS AND METHODS OF USE - A cable connector may be disclosed. The connector may include a connector housing having a first threaded portion and an insert having compression voids. The insert may be configured for insertion into the connector housing. The connector may also include a compression nut configured to engage the first threaded portion. The compression nut may be configured to compress the insert to close the compression voids when the compression nut engages the first threaded portion. The cable connector may also include an end stop having an adjustable throat diameter configured to adjust in proportion to an adjustable inner diameter of the cable connector as the connector engages or armor of an armored cable. | 10-30-2008 |
20080289854 | Pushable Cable - A cable assembly may be provided. The cable assembly may comprise a conductor core and a binding element. The binding elements may be configured helically around the conductor core. In addition, the binding element may be configured to, when the cable assembly is pushed through a conduit having at least one sweep, eliminate buckling of the cable assembly. Moreover, the binding element may be configured to cause a first pushing force on the cable assembly having a magnitude less than a second pushing force on the cable assembly corresponding to pushing the cable assembly through the conduit without the binding element on the conductor core. | 11-27-2008 |

The binding elements may be configured helically around the conductor core. In addition, the binding element may be configured to, when the cable assembly is pushed through a conduit having at least one sweep, eliminate buckling of the cable assembly. Moreover, the binding element may be configured to cause a first pushing force on the cable assembly having a magnitude less than a second pushing force on the cable assembly corresponding to pushing the cable assembly through the conduit without the binding element on the conductor core. | 04-30-2009 |
20090242228 | Multi-Element Twisted Assembly and Method Using Reverse Axial Torsion - A plurality of individual elements are imparted with reverse axial twist and collectively twisted into a multi-element assembly. Each individual element has an axial twist direction in an opposite direction from the axial twist direction of the collective multi-element assembly. The reverse axial torsion in the assembly tightly binds the plurality elements in the assembly to resist separation. | 10-01-2009 |
20100059249 | Enhanced Strength Conductor - An electrical conductor may be provided. The electrical conductor may comprise a conductor core comprising a plurality of core strands. Each of the plurality of core strands may comprise a first material. The electrical conductor may further comprise a plurality of conductor strands wrapped around the core. The plurality of conductor strands may comprise a second material. An elongation of the second material may be greater than 1% and may be less than an elongation percentage of the first material or may be equal to the elongation percentage of the first material. | 03-11-2010 |
20100159721 | Electrical Metal Clad Connectors and Methods of Use - A cable connector may be disclosed.
