Abstract
A fixed count terminal for a sheathed multiconductor cable is provided that includes an elongate terminal shell having a cable port at each end and being formed of two half-shells that are substantially identical, each half-shell having transverse symmetry. A terminal block is affixed to the outside of the shell within an exterior block compartment having fixed count entry ports. Articulated binding straps hingedly unify the half-shells. Strand clamps affixed to the binding straps suspend the terminal from a support strand. Once wire work is complete inside the terminal, it may be closed and adhesively sealed since line drops may be connected to the terminal block outside the shell. Further, by virtue of the transverse symmetry of the half-shells, only one type of half-shell need be provided, a pair of which being sufficient to form a terminal shell.
