Abstract: A distribution terminal for connecting incoming telephone cable wires to drop lines has a plurality of bases. Each of the bases has a platform and two lateral sides on opposite edges of the platform. Mating releasable connectors are on each of the lateral sides of the bases for securing a number of the bases together, side-by-side. Each of the bases has three electrically conductive penetrators extending through the platform. Two of the penetrators have terminal ends for connection to a twisted-pair of wires of the incoming telephone cable. The third penetrator is connected to a ground. A module may be releasably secured to each of the bases over the platform. Each module has a pair of IDC clips. Each clip engages one of the penetrators when the module is secured to the base. Each of the modules has a pair of holes adjacent to the clips for receiving ends of drop wires. An actuator for each of the modules pushes the drop wires into engagement with the clips.
