Abstract:
An improved closure assembly for retaining fiber optic cables is disclosed wherein the closure assembly includes end plates having apertures for supporting the cables at the location of entry into the closure assembly. A unique gripping device is provided for retaining each cable with respect to the end plates, whereby sufficient force is applied to the cable to provide water-tight sealing at the junction of the cable and the end plate, yet with sufficient distribution of the force to avoid straining or distorting the cable. A unique optical fiber splice tray is disclosed having pivotal connectors at either end to permit attaching the trays in stacked relation, yet providing pivotal movement of each tray relative to the next adjacent tray, from either end. The trays include unique âVâ-shaped integral fingers for retaining the individual optical fibers while permitting ready removal and reinsertion of the fibers for servicing of the closure assembly or the fibers.

Abstract:
A channel nut is attachable to a structural channel. The channel nut includes a nut portion having a planar surface and a resiliently flexible cone attachable to the nut portion. The cone includes an attachment portion for attachment to the planar surface of the nut portion, the conical portion extending conically from the attachment portion. The conical portion is defined by a conical wall having at least one slot therethrough to permit resilient deflection of the conical wall portion with respect to the attachment portion.
A water resistant electrical floor box includes a base, side walls, an open face defining an interior portion. The interior portion is divided into a receptacle interior and a drainage interior portion with a dividing wall. Substantially covering the open face is a cover assembly. The cover assembly includes a flange, and a cover pivotally attached thereto. The cover includes a pivotal door thereon to allow wires to exit. In addition, the box further includes a cover assembly with a channel to direct the water away from the receptacle interior portion.
An electrical box assembly including a box having a base wall perimetrically bounded by a sidewall extending therefrom forming a housing adapted to receive an electrical component. The sidewall having an upper portion and a flange extending outwardly in a transverse direction from the upper portion. An electrical component attachment point is disposed adjacent the sidewall upper portion and adapted for securing an electrical component to the box. The flange is perimetrically bounded by a collar extending outwardly therefrom. A securement device disposed on the box for securing the box to a support structure is provided. A frame is further provided which is in telescopic engagement with the collar and movable relative thereto. The frame has an abutment surface for abutting against a facing surface. An adjustment device is provided for moving the frame relative to the box and urges the abutment surface against the facing surface.
