Abstract
A method and apparatus for semiautomatic wiring of telephone cabinets is disclosed which is suitable for twisted pairs of telephone wires. A pair-indexing head having a plurality of dual threaded spinning index rotors is used to permit automatic mass-termination of the individual wires in slotted-beam connectors. By pulling the connector block and attached wires down the length of the electrical cabinet, indexing the tip and ring conductors at the desired length, providing clamps at both ends of the twisted pairs, and cutting the wires, an operator is able to take the wires, one pair at a time, with proper tip and ring orientation, and terminate them on the back wiring plane of the electrical cabinet. The connector is then dressed through a wiring channel to exit at one end of the wiring cabinet and provide an easy means for connecting the cabinet to external wiring.
