ABSTRACT:
An aerial cable terminal has a one piece molded plastic housing with a dividing wall which divides the interior of the housing into front and back compartments. Terminals are mounted in the dividing wall, for example in hollow bosses extending into the front compartment. The conductors of a stub cable extend through the back compartment and are connected to the rear ends of the terminals. Drop wires enter at the bottom into the front compartment and are connected to the front ends of the terminals. A hinged cover closes the front compartment. Potting compound fills the back compartment. Two terminals can be assembled back-to-back, with conductors from one stub cable connected to both sets of terminals. Support hangers are provided on the top of the housing, one set of hangers for a single housing and another set which combines with hangers on the other housing to form combined hangers. Pivotal drop-wire support rings are provided at each end.
