ABSTRACT:
A weatherproof telephone station protector module suitable for use exposed to the weather including a hollow housing with first and second sealed test terminals and a plurality of through apertures adapted to receive a plurality of insulated electrically conductive wires. A threaded bolt when rotated permits the top housing member to be received by the bottom housing member and at the same time provides the force necessary to sever the insulation of the electrically conducting wires thereby providing a shorting mechanism between insulated conductors placed in the apertures provided. The upper or top portion of the housing is retained by the lower or bottom portion of the housing so that the removal of the bolt would not cause the upper and lower or bottom housings to be separated. The lower housing additionally includes overvoltage surge protection together with fail-safe thermal overload protection.
