Abstract
A non-conductive plastics junction box for connecting at least two cables has an internal conductive continuity plate integral with a base of the box. The plate has a base panel with at least one lug arranged to extend outwardly and externally of the base to provide an earthing terminal to ground, and side panels arranged to overlie side walls of the base in which entry ports are formed to receive cable glands for the respective cables. The continuity plate is in electrical contact with the glands and provides a continuous earthing path from the cables to the earthing terminal(s).
