An auxiliary cable bracket having a main plate and a mounting plate. The mounting plate is connected to the main plate and is positioned spaced apart from the main plate such that the frame of a ladder rack section can be positioned therebetween. At least one tooth is formed on a surface of at least one of the mounting plate and the main plate.

Auxiliary cable bracket

Fastener device secures two separate structures together and may ground electrical current running through the structures. In one embodiment, fastener includes a plurality of projections for removing paint from an external surface of one structure. Depending on relative hardness measurements, the plurality of projections may also penetrate the structure. In another embodiment, fastener may be utilized to secure and ground rack/patch panel systems that house electrical equipment.

Bonding fastener

A bonding stud for a data center cabinet comprises a body adapted to geometrically conform to a cage nut hole within the cabinet. The body may comprise opposing threaded studs and an annular shoulder that extends outward from the body to provide contact and bonding with ground strips used in connection with the data center cabinet. Projections formed between the shoulder and the sides of the body may penetrate the surface of the frame rails of the data center cabinet to provide a bond to the base metal of the frame rails.

Data center cabinet bonding stud

The compression connector has a first body portion including a first hook and a first ramp extending therefrom to form a first main wire port. The first body portion also has a second hook and a second ramp extending therefrom to form a first tap wire port. The first body portion further has a second tap wire port and a third tap wire port positioned between the first main wire port and the first tap wire port.

Multi-port compression connector

A metal cable tie is disclosed. The cable tie includes an elongate metallic strap, a metallic locking head, and metallic roller means. The strap has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The head is secured to the first end of the strap for receiving the second end of the strap. The head comprises a strap entry face, a strap exit face, and a strap-receiving aperture extending therebetween. The head further comprises a floor and a roof which diverge in the direction of the exit face. The metallic roller means lockingly engages the strap, and the head comprises retention means disposed adjacent the exit face for captively holding the roller means within the head. The roller means is movable between a threading position wherein the roller means is disposed adjacent the exit face and the retention means, and a locking position wherein the roller means is closer the entry face. The ratio of the distance from a point along a ceiling to the center of the roller means in the threading position to the diameter of the roller means is less than 1.7.

An information marker for conforming display around an elongate object having a longitudinal axis includes a planar information display surface of sufficient flexibility to conform to the shape of the elongate object, a plurality of embossments in the information display surface arranged to display an informational symbol field, wherein longer peripheral edges of each of the embossments are aligned parallel to an embossment alignment direction, and a fastener for securing the marker around the elongate object in a desired display orientation of the informational symbol field such that the embossment alignment direction is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongate object whereby the flexibility of the planar information display surface is not degraded by the embossments.

Embossed pipe marker

A tie for forming a plurality of objects into a bundle and for holding a pair of objects together comprising an elongate metallic strap, a metallic locking head disposed adjacent one end of the strap for receiving the other end of the strap and metallic roller means captively held within the head for lockingly engaging the strap. The head includes a strap entry face, a strap exit face and a strap-receiving aperture extending between the faces. The head further comprises a floor and a roof diverging in the direction of the exit face. The roller means is movable between a threading position in which it is disposed adjacent the exit face and a locking position wherein the roller means is closer the entry face. The tie further includes strap deflection means functioning along with the roller means to effect a bend in the threaded portion of the strap whereby the threaded strap is maintained in engagement with the roller means without regard to the orientation of the head.
