ABSTRACT:
A telephone/CATV adaptor comprises a generally rectangular panel molded from dielectric plastic material for attachment to an associated wall outlet box to provide a closure for the box. The panel carries a modular telephone jack for receiving a mating modular telephone plug and a bulkhead connector to facilitate connection of a coaxial cable through the panel. A plurality of integral pedestals project from the panel and define body portions of a plurality of electrical connectors. Each connector body portion has a blind bore which includes an inner end portion of square cross section. Insulated terminal end portions of a electrical connectors to be electrically connected to each other are each received within an associated corner of the bore inner end portions. A single threaded fastener, sized to cooperate with the bore, has sharp-edged thread convolutions which cut into the walls of the square bore portion and into insulation on the conductors. The sharp-edged convolutions displace the insulation and incise the conductors to establish electrical contact with the conductors.
