ABSTRACT:
A dual-port electrical cable female connector head primarily useful for branch circuit extension of and for fixture tapping into a relocatable wiring system, the female connector head of the invention is located at one end of a length of electrical cable which carries one or more circuits and into which lighting fixtures or other electrical loads are to be tapped at predetermined locations of the wiring system by connection to tapping ports formed in respective female connector heads. A male connector head joined to the length of cable at the other end thereof connects to a branch circuit port formed in a female connector head of an adjacent length of cable in the wiring system. The relocatable wiring system is thus formed along its length by repetitive units consisting of lengths of cable with one of the female connector heads of the invention being joined to one end of the cable and a male connector head being joined to the other end of the cable, the female connector head of the invention having two connection ports disposed in angular relationship to each other which is out of plane of the body of the female connector head with both ports being capable of use either as a tapping port or as a branch circuit port. The female connector head of the invention improves prior wire system connectors by providing a more compact, less expensive and more easily manufactured female connector head and which also exhibits a low profile in use and is manufactured using fewer discrete parts while displaying greater operational flexibility in use.
