  • Patent number: 7878868
    Abstract: A cable connector assembly comprising an insulating block defining a plurality of cable receiving channels therein. Each cable receiving channel has an entrance at a periphery of the insulating block. A plurality of ground connectors are coupled to the insulating block and positioned such that a ground connector is located proximate to the entrance of each cable receiving channel. Each ground connector comprises a U-shaped member for engaging a ground braid of a heating cable and a grounding screw for engaging a ground wire of a power cable. A ground linking structure electrically connects the plurality of ground connectors. A plurality of first and second wire connectors are adjustably coupled to the insulating block and positioned such that a first wire connector is selectively extendible into a first side of each cable receiving channel and a second wire connector is positioned to selectively extend into a second side of each cable receiving channel.
