A device mounted on the end of a fibre for the purpose of mating the fibre to a source, receiver, or other device, or to another fibre through a coupling sleeve.
means a device that is used to attach parts of a personal fall arrest system or positioning device system together. These devices may be a independent component of a system (such as carrabiner) or a connected part of a system(such as buckle or D-ring sewn into a harness or a snaphook spliced or sewn into a lanyard or self retracting lifeline).
One or two parts of a device that allow two pieces of wire to be put together or pulled apart easily such that they hold together sufficiently mechanically and conduct electricity from all wires in one cable to another.
A device that provides a mechanically pluggable interface for electrical terminations. A plug or receptacle which can be easily joined to or separated from its mate. Multiple-contact connectors join two or more conductors with others in one mechanical assembly.
A device attached to the end of a fiber optic cable, receiver or light source that joins it with another device or fiber.
The end of a cable that plugs into another connector or a port. A BNC connector connects a section of ThinWire cable to a T-connector, to a system, or to a barrel connector.
An electrical device that provides connection between electrical circuits.
An electromechanical coupling device that provides an electrical interface that can be mated and unmated.
Hardware at the end of a LATCH attachment, such as a top tether hook specified in FMVSS 213 or other latching device compatible with lower anchorages specified in FMVSS 225, that enables the CR to be securely fastened to a LATCH anchorage; can be either a hook-on connector or a push-on connector (lower attachments only).
device used for connecting cables; usually come in pairs of female and male.
A device that holds and alignes fiber ends, used for repeated connection and disconnection of a link.
a device used to provide a semi-permanent link between two optical fibers
a lamp head or a power plug
a line that joins objects and remains attached when you move them
an intervening device used to fasten or join
a plug if the small metal parts that conduct the electricity are metal prongs
a relay-type switching device for interconnecting, for a short interval of time, two equipment elements by a relatively large number of leads
a snap because the drive mates directly with the back plane
a word that joins grammatical elements together
A device which connects the output of one equipment unit to the input of another.
An electrically conducive bar or wire which joins individual cells together in a battery.
Easily demountable plug-in connection between two optical fibers. As a rule the insertion loss (see insertion loss) of a plug-in connection is higher than that of a splice (see splice).
Hardware at the end of a cable that lets you fasten the cable to an outlet, port, or other connector.
A two-part device that makes both a physical and an electrical link between two devices. In vehicle diagnostics, usually between a cable and a port on a device.
a complete connectivity connecting device, that consists of a mating plug and receptacle for cables or of mechanically mating flanges for waveguides
Port hardware that joins a cable to a device. Connectors are male or female. 4.3, 4.4, 4.26 identifying, 8.59 monitors, 6.10
The plug or jack that links the headphone cord to the audio source (receiver, portable stereo, computer). Standard connectors come in 1/4" (home stereo receiver) or 1/8" (portable or computer) sizes. (See also: Digital)
A coupling device employed to connect conductors to one circuit with those of another circuit. Used to provide rapid connect/disconnect mating with pc boards, posts or another connector.
A mechanical device for securing two or more Trusses, components, pieces, parts, or members together, including anchors, buckets, straps, wall ties, and fasteners.
A mechanical device used to align and join two fibers together to provide a means for attaching and decoupling it to a transmitter, receiver, or another fiber.
Used generally to describe all devices used to provide rapid connect/ disconnect service for electrical cable and wire terminations or pc boards.
A mechanical device used to link conductors.
Used generally to describe all devices used to provide rapid connect/disconnect service for wires, cables, and fibres.
networking: The physical device that electronically joins two pieces of hardware and exchanges information.
A plug. A device that allows the fast, safe, and convenient connection and disconnection of electrical equipment. There are many types of connectors used for entertainment lighting purposes. Some common types include Camlock for feeder cable and dimming racks, pin connector for stage cable, and XLR connector for control cable. See Also: Control Cable Stage Cable Pin Connector Dimmer Rack Feeder Cable Camlock (TM)
The piece, usually metal (brass), that joins the lamp stem to the lamp fount. Can be threaded (Atterbury), pressed or cemented on with indentations (Hobbs) or dimples to hold it in place.
a device used to interconnect cables or connect cables to various equipment.
A Connector is a coupling device used to connect the wire medium to a fieldbus device or to another segment of wire.
Devices to connect/disconnect fiber to another fiber, source, detector, or other devices.
A mechanical device used to provide a means for aligning, attaching and achieving continuity between fibers.
A device designed to allow electrical flow from one wire or cable to a device on another cable. A connector will allow interruption of the circuit or the transfer to another circuit without any cutting of wire or cable or other preparation.
The "interface" between cable and timing hardware. See also banana plug. Click
the part of a cable that plugs into a port or interface to connect one device to another. Most connectors are either male (containing one or more exposed pins) or female (containing holes in which the male connector can be inserted).
Device installed on a fiber optic cable to connect it to optical equipment. Types of fiber connectors include SC, ST, FC, D4, MU, MTRJ, DIN and E2000.
Termination component installed on the end of fibre optic cables. It provides physical attachment and optical coupling to further cables, transmitters, receivers and other devices.
A device used to physically and electrically terminate in order to join two or more conductors.
The terminating end of a cable.
A one-piece tubular section, not including pipe or couplings, used for the purposed of joining or changing from one size, mass, or type of thread connection to the same or other size, mass or type of threaded connection.
A cylindrical, metallic object firmly attached to a cable or component which is used to facilitate joining one to the other. It is also referred to as a coaxial connector.
Device used to join an electrical wire to a piece of equipment or another wire or any device that joins two objects.
A mechanical or optical device that provides a demountable connection between two fibers or a fiber and a source or detector.
A mechanical device for securing two or more pieces, parts or members together; includes anchors, wall ties and fasteners. May be either structural or nonstructural.
a component used to align and join two optical fibers together.
