主权项

1. An overhead cable termination device, comprising:
a) a plurality of adapters; b) a mounting bracket that mounts the adapters to an overhead U-shaped cable pathway, wherein the mounting bracket includes a sliding plate that slides relative to the mounting bracket to accommodate different overhead U-shaped cable pathways having mounting structures with different heights, wherein the sliding plate includes a first hooked flange configured to engage a bottom edge of the U-shaped cable pathway, wherein the mounting bracket further includes a first bracket piece that is configured to mate with the sliding plate, the first bracket piece having a second hooked flange configured to engage a top edge of the U-shaped cable pathway, and wherein the first bracket piece defines guides, and opposing edges of the sliding plate slide within the guides such that the first and second hooked flanges capture the U-shaped cable pathway therebetween; and c) a cable pathway exit having a curved surface that guides cables over an upper edge of the overhead U-shaped cable pathway toward the plurality of adapters.
