Abstract
A device used in overhead power distribution systems to serve solely as a cable coupler, i.e. join or splice a pair of flexible connecting cables having a plug-in connector at opposite ends or alternatively slightly modified so to serve as a wiring adaptor, i.e. to be secured to a unit to be energized and provide the power either from a single flexible cable or from a pair of flexible cables which are spliced together. A typical example of a unit to be energized is an overhead lighting fixture or a service pole.
