- and
- a pair of opposed elongate edge members each attached along a respective long outer edge of said base and projecting above said upper surface, each of said edge members further comprising a plurality of flexible splice receivers therein each receiver comprising inner surface defining plurality of apertures of circular cross section and different diameters arranged in parallel and for receiving splices of different diameters therein, wherein adjacent ones of said apertures are joined along a length thereof;
- wherein an aperture of smaller diameter is adjacent only one aperture of a next larger diameter and an aperture of a largest diameter is adjacent an opening;
- wherein each of said apertures in a first of said edge members is aligned with a corresponding aperture of a same diameter in a second of said edge members and such that, when a splice is inserted into the receivers via said opening, the splice is secured in parallel to said upper surface and at right angles to each of said edge members.
