Cable termination unit

Abstract

Abstract In this cable termination unit for telecommunication, signal, control cables or the like, a trough-shaped carrier is provided into which terminal blocks can be inserted. These terminal blocks have at least three parallel contact rows. One row is used for connecting the incoming wires, the second row is used for the outgoing wires such as patching lines, and the third contact row, which is located between the two aforementioned rows, is used for connecting over-voltage arresters. In this arrangement, the two outer contact rows are arranged in steps in such a manner that when the over-voltage arresters are inserted, the contact row for the outgoing lines remains free of the over-voltage arresters. A fourth contact row, which is also freely accessible when magazines with over-voltage arresters or current fuses are placed thereon, accommodates isolating or test plugs for switching tasks. <IMAGE>
