A bracket designed to mount a cable management assembly to a wire basket. The bracket includes a bracket frame and a locking plate. The bracket frame has a base with a first end and a second end, a first sidewall extending from the base, and a second sidewall extending from the base. The first side wall and the second wall each include notches for receiving the wire basket. The locking plate is secured to the bracket frame. The locking plate having a base with a first end and a second end, a first sidewall extending from the base, and a second sidewall extending from the base. A fastener secures the bracket frame and the locking plate to the cable management assembly.

A cable management assembly that mounts cables to a ladder rack. The cable management assembly includes a thermal expansion block, a cable attachment beam, and a bracket. The thermal expansion block is positioned on a ladder rung of the ladder rack. The thermal expansion block has a top, a bottom, a first side, a second side, and ends. The first side and the second side of the thermal expansion block have an opening there through that receives the cable attachment beam. The bracket secures the thermal expansion block and attached cable attachment beam to the ladder rung.

A cable management assembly includes a cleat assembly and a bracket assembly insertable through the cleat assembly to secure the cleat assembly to a ladder rung. The cleat assembly has an upper shell, a lower shell rotatably coupled to the upper shell, and a first fastener to secure the upper and lower shells. The bracket assembly has a C-shaped bracket having a first leg and a second leg extending parallel to the first leg. The first leg includes a longitudinal slot and the second leg includes a flange and a longitudinal slot extending through the second leg and the flange. A second fastener extends through the slot in the second leg and is movable between an open position in which the fastener is spaced apart from the first leg and a closed position in which the fastener is positioned within the slot in the first leg.

A power tool that tensions metal locking ties. The power tool includes a base with a drive mechanism and a tool head mounted to the base. The tool head includes a tension mechanism, a gripper assembly secured to the tension mechanism, and a tool nose. The tension mechanism includes a lead screw secured to an electric driver in the base and a lead nut attached to the lead screw. The gripper assembly includes a gripper housing secured to the lead nut. As the lead screw rotates, the lead nut moves along the lead screw pulling the gripper housing toward the base of the tool to tension the metal locking tie.

A cable cleat assembly secures a bundle of cables to a ladder rack. The cable cleat assembly includes a base and two side bodies. Each side body is pivotally mounted to one of the ends of the base. Each side body has a first end, a middle section, and a second end. The first end of each side body includes a mounting member. The mounting member has a peg extending from each side of the mounting member. The pegs are mounted in the base to enable the side bodies to pivot from an open position to a closed position.

Each side body has a first end, a middle section, and a second end. The first end of each side body includes a mounting member. The mounting member has a peg extending from each side of the mounting member and a circumferential rib. The pegs are mounted in the base with the circumferential rib positioned between alignment ribs extending from the base to enable the side bodies to pivot from an open position to a closed position.

Various implementations of insulation piercing connectors are disclosed. The insulation piercing connectors may be used to attach dual independent electrical connections to a power cable for voltage detection purposes. In some implementations, an insulation piercing connector may include a top half, a bottom half, and a blade seal positioned between the top half and the bottom half. A threaded fastener may engage threads in a hole in a post on the bottom half. The threaded fastener may be tightened to compress the insulation piercing connector around a power cable.

A buckle used to fasten opposing ends of an object encircling strap around a bundle. The buckle includes a base and a lever tensioner. The base has a bottom and two opposing sides extending from the bottom. Each side includes a first end and a second end. The sides at the first end of the base have pivot holes. The lever tensioner is pivotally connected to the base. The lever tensioner includes a first end and a second end. The first end of the lever tensioner includes pivot hinge tabs. The pivot hinge tabs are positioned in the pivot holes of the base to pivotally secure the lever tensioner to the base.

The preset invention is directed to an embossing tool. The embossing tool includes a drive mechanism that advances a tape, an embossing mechanism and a cutting mechanism. The cutting mechanism cuts the tape to form a tag. The cutting mechanism also forms a mounting feature in the ends of the tag. The cutting mechanism includes a pair of dies with openings therethrough and at least one punch moveable within the openings for engaging the tape.
