Abstract: The invention relates to a connection strip for transmission lines, having two rows of tags on a tag block for the pairs of conductors that define the lines, and having lightning arresters connected in parallel with the lines. The tag block has three rows of chimneys on its front face for the two rows of tags for the conductors, and a third row of tags for the lightning arresters, with the lightning arresters being mounted in a protection strip which is itself removably mounted on the third row of chimneys. The invention is applicable to telecommunications.

Abstract: The connection strip is an insulating block in which connection elements are mounted to define insulation displacement connectors in rows of chimneys on a front face of the block, and rows of other connectors on the rear face of the block. The chimneys are separated from one another by transverse slots extending across their rows and they are capable of receiving single or twin pushers in such a manner as to be held captive between a pulled-out position and a pushed-in position in the chimneys. The connection strip includes end wire-passing pieces on the front face of the block, and is applicable to telecommunications.
