Abstract: A distributor housing for communication cables in which the connecting unit for the individual wires is permanently integrated into a base component of the housing and the individual wires are first introduced into a positioning means in the contacting process. To form the connection, the pivotable top component of the housing, which has projection aligned with the various contact elements, is pivoted to a closed position to press the individual wires into their contact element.

Abstract: The individual wires of large capacity cables are held in predetermined spaced-apart positions by a device having dimensions suitable for insertion through conventional conduits. In one embodiment, a flexible support comprising a pair of tapes or the like secure the wires therebetween in areas which have aligned apertures so that access may be had to the wires for splicing connectors.

Abstract: A holder for providing coils for compensation of local connections of cores of a cable within a cable sleeve characterized by a holding member having a ring-shaped cross section with a splicing space disposed in the interior and with a portion of the holding member being movable to enable access to the splicing space from the exterior of the member, a detachable connecting device to enable forming a connection to a cable inserted into the splicing space from an end of the holding member and coil cups disposed on the outer surface of the holding member to surround the splicing space.
