Abstract: A terminal block for mounting in a junction box and for terminating electrical power feed conductors and joining them to other power distribution wires, the block which has particular utility in multiple phase power systems has a different lug for each phase, each lug having multiple cable receiving bores with set screws for securing the cables in the bores, the set screws all being accessible from the exposed outer surfaces of the block, and the lugs being supported side by side in an insulating housing mutually separated by partitions, the housing having a cover for covering all the lugs.

Abstract: A substation for distributing signals of a cable system. The substation is provided with a novel center conductor seizure apparatus which permits the tension of the center conductor of a cable to be distributed to the frame of the substation. The method of coupling the cable to the substation permits the convenient exchange of associated electronics on a circuit board. The replacement of the circuit board can be accomplished without disconnecting the center conductor.
