A snap in locking cable connector is composed of two mating pieces that snap together and provide a connector for armored or metal clad electrical conductors. One piece includes a member including a smooth outer cylindrical section having an inner diameter that may accommodate a spring steel adaptor with flanges to hold the spring steel adaptor in place. The spring steel adaptor is used in conjunction with an electrical junction box to fix the location of the locking cable connector with respect to the junction box. Another piece includes a spring steel locking ring provided to receive an armored cable and lock into the member. The spring steel locking ring has tangs allowing unidirectional insertion into the member and restricting withdrawal motion from the member. The spring steel locking ring also includes oppositely directed tangs to permit reception of the armored cable in one direction and restrict its movement in the reverse direction.

A cable grommet system for installation in data centers, offices and the like, for sealing cable openings in raised flooring, wall or ceiling panels, server cabinets, etc. to facilitate the installation and revision of wiring and cabling to server installations while minimizing losses of any provided conditioned air. A wide variety of grommet configurations is possible with a limited number of component parts. An advantageous acute angle mounting of sealing brushes enhances the sealing effectiveness thereof, particularly for smaller sizes of cable openings. In some embodiments, a novel arrangement of electrical conductors is incorporated into the grommet structures for dissipation of electrostatic charges, enabling the basic frame components to be formed of a flame retardant material.

The invention relates to a hollow composite insulator used in 1100kV composite apparatus in power industry, and a producing method of the insulator. The insulator comprises an end connecting part, an insulation tube and an umbrella. The end connecting parts are stuck on the two ends of the winding tube. The invention is characterized in that: an integrated umbrella is stuck at the out side of an insulation tube; the insulation tube is a wound tube with an inner liner; the umbrella is an injecting-formed part made of high-temperature vulcanization silicon rubber, and because the inner liner of the insulation tube is an epoxy resin adhesive and SF6 decomposition mixing and solidifying structure, the anti-corrosion performance of the product is greatly increased; the umbrella is hot-solidified on the surface of the insulation tube at high vacuum and high temperature, so the connecting strength between the umbrella and the insulation tube is high, and the product performance is more stable and reliable. When winding the insulation tube, a track is first simulated on a computer, and then pins are fixed on both shaft ends of the mold core. When winding, a tension mechanism with even and constant tensile force is used for control, thus realizing even paving of the glass fiber.
