Abstract
A cap shoe system for making electrical connections between a plurality of conductors in one cable and a corresponding plurality of conductors in a connector module of a connector which includes an index strip, the connector module, and a connector-module cap, and/or for making electrical connections between a plurality of conductors in another cable and a corresponding plurality of conductors in a bridge module forming part of the connector and including a bridge-module cap. The connector-module and bridge-module caps have access holes for connector-module and bridge-module contact pins respectively carried by connector-module and bridge-module cap shoe bodies having connector-module and bridge-module slide members which are retractable to provide for entry of the connector-module and bridge-module contact pins through the access holes in the connector-module and bridge-module caps into electrical contact with the respective conductors in the connector and bridge modules. The index strip also has access holes adapted to receive the connector-module contact pins to make electrical connections with conductors in the index strip.
