Voltage sensor () comprising a voltage divider () for sensing an AC voltage of a HV/MV power conductor (). For adjusting the common overall impedance of the low-voltage portion of the voltage divider towards a desired impedance, the low-voltage portion () comprises one or more low-voltage impedance elements (), a plurality of adjustment impedance elements () and a plurality of switches. In its connect state, each switch electrically connects an adjustment impedance element in parallel to at least one of the one or more low-voltage impedance elements (). The overall impedance of the high-voltage portion () and the overall impedance of the low-voltage portion () of the voltage divider () are adapted such that, by bringing one or more of the switches () into their connect state, the voltage divider () has, for an AC voltage of between 5 and 25 kV phase-to-ground and a frequency of between 40 and 70 Hertz, a dividing ratio of 3077, of 6154, of 6769 or of 10 000.

Adjustable voltage sensor

An optical fiber connector for external connection to a telecommunications enclosure is described herein. The optical fiber connector has an assembly base having a first end and a second end, an optical connection portion disposed partially within the first end of the assembly base and a strain relief assembly disposed on the second end of the assembly base. The assembly base includes a body portion and a release portion which defines a release mechanism that causes the release portion to move relative to the body portion. The release portion includes at least one cam that is configured to release or disengage the at least one latch element when the release portion moves with respect to the body portion so that the optical fiber connector can be removed from the port of the telecommunication enclosure.

Connector for telecommunication enclosures

A telecommunication enclosure is described herein wherein the telecommunications enclosure is configured for making an external optical connection. The enclosure includes a base having at least one port having an integral exterior section disposed around the port outside of the enclosure and an optical coupling disposed at least partially within the port. The optical coupling has a first connector housing disposed within the exterior section of the port and a second connector housing disposed within the interior of the telecommunication enclosure. In an exemplary aspect, the optical coupling is secured directly within the port of the telecommunication enclosure.

Telecommunication enclosure and coupling with insertion orientation features

An optical fiber connector includes a housing configured to mate with a receptacle, a collar body that includes a fiber stub and a mechanical splice device, a backbone to retain the collar body within the housing, and a boot. The backbone includes at least one guide channel to facilitate wrapping strength members of an optical fiber cable around the backbone and a cable jacket clamping portion to clamp the cable jacket of the cable. The boot actuates the cable jacket clamping portion of the backbone upon attachment to the backbone.

The optical coupling () has a first connector housing () disposed within the exterior section of the port () and a second connector housing () disposed within the interior of the telecommunication enclosure (). In an exemplary aspect, the optical coupling () is secured directly within the port () of the telecommunication enclosure ().

High retention force optical coupling

A method of terminating an optical fiber drop cable with an optical fiber connector and said optical fiber connector are described herein wherein said optical fiber connector can be inserted into a port structure of a telecommunication enclosure to provide an environmentally sealed connection. The exemplary connector has a main body with an interior passageway extending from a first end to a second end of the main body and a compressible portion at the second end of the main body, a compression member attachable to the second end of the optical fiber connector over the compressible portion, an optical connection portion disposed at least partially within the interior, and an outer housing disposed over the connection portion wherein the outer housing has an external shape mateable with a standard format optical coupling.

A termination strip () for a telecommunications module comprising at least one pair of contact elements () arranged side-by-side, each terminating in contacts () on opposed longitudinal sides () of the strip for connection to a wire pair of a telecommunications cable. Each contact element comprises: (i) two end regions () that terminate in contacts on respective longitudinal sides of the termination strip and are substantially aligned with one another along the longitudinal axis of the contact element, and (ii) a narrower central region () between the end regions, located substantially on one side of the longitudinal axis. One of the end regions comprises a resilient contact region () extending from the end region substantially on the other side of the longitudinal axis and engageable by an external component inserted into the termination strip from one of the opposed longitudinal sides. The contact elements are substantially identical but turned through 180&#xb0; relative to one another with the narrower central regions adjacent one another.
