Abstract
Apparatus for deploying a plurality of twisted pairs of wires and separating the two wires of each pair comprises a templet having recesses extending thereacross in one direction. Each recess has one portion which is dimensioned to receive a single twisted pair of wires and the one portion of each recess merges with another portion comprising two separate recesses, each of which is dimensioned to receive one wire only of a twisted pair. The twisted pairs are pressed onto the recesses by a roller which moves across the surface. A controller is mounted adjacent to, and in advance of, the roller and the twisted pairs extend from beneath the roller over the controller. When the roller approaches the portions of each recess which receive only a single wire, the spacing between the roller and the controller changes so that they are separated by a distance substantially equal to the diameter of a single wire. The spacing between the roller and the controller causes the individual twisted pairs to become untwisted so that the two wires of each twisted pair are pressed into the two recesses.
