ABSTRACT:
Multi-wire group splicing in multi-wire telephone or like distribution systems, utilizing an at least three-sided distribution module (DM), the distribution module (DM) comprising an array of bridging slots (128, 130, 132, 134) in each of its sides (120, 122, 124, 126), and an array of disc type connectors (210 or 230 or 232) for interconnection of the respective prongs (502) of conventional prong type bridging modules (BM or 500) engaging the sides of the distribution module. By use of the distribution module (DM), additional or substitute multi-wire groups can be connected into the distribution system without interruption of service, and field fabrication of splices need involve only the "building" of prong type bridging modules (BM) at the ends of wire group sections of the system, with interconnection of the sections being simply by plugging of the prong type bridging modules (BM) into the distribution module (DM). Double prong type extender coupler means (EC) may also be used in conjunction with an in service distribution module (DM) in some instances, to add additional distribution modules (DM2), and therefore additional bridging module receiving sides to a given splice.
