Reel-in-box jumper cables

摘要

A connecting device for connecting runs of communication material having a predetermined length and coupling elements at both ends is provided. The connecting device includes a first end, an opposing second end, and a separating element. The first end couples to a coupling element of a first run of communication material and the second end couples to a coupling element of a second run of communication material. The first run and second run of communication material is separated in response to activation of the separating element. Also provided is a bulk cable packaging system that includes a plurality of runs of communication material, each run having a predetermined length and coupling elements at both ends and a plurality of connecting devices. The runs of communication material are coupled together with the connecting devices is operatively coupled to a reel. The reel is then operatively coupled within a container.

主权项

1. A package of connected runs of communication material having a predetermined length, the package comprising:
a first run of communication material; a second run of communication material; and a connecting device configured to couple the first run of communication material with the second run of communication material in a non-electrically connected configuration, the connecting device having a first end and an opposing second end, the first end of the connecting device being coupled to an end of the first run of communication material, the second end of the connecting device being coupled to an end of the second run of communication material, wherein the first run of communication material and the second run of communication material are separable from one another in response to disengaging the connecting device, and wherein the connecting device comprises shrink wrap.
