ABSTRACT:
A device and method for identifying each set of wire from a multiple of substantially identical sets of wires at the distributed end includes of a multiple of substantially identical resistors connected in series, metal wire holder connected to the each junctions and to the each ends and an electrically non-conducting housing with a multiple of openings for inserting wires to connect to each wire holder. The resistance between the first wire holder at one end and each successive wire holder increases in a finite step and corresponds to the markings on the housing. When all ground wires are connected to the first wire holder and each hot wire are connected the successive wire holders at the distributing end, the resistance between the ground wire and the hot wire identifies each set at the distributed end.
