An electrical connector junction means for flat conductor cable lying along a floor. The electrical connector junction means includes a base having a substantially flat supporting surface for mounting of the base on the floor and having an opening therethrough for receiving through the opening a flat conductor cable when the base is mounted to the floor overlying the flat conductor cable. A support member is secured to the base and includes at least one mounting surface thereon. A fastener is provided for fastening the conductor of the flat conductor cable and a second conductor to the mounting surface. In a preferred embodiment, the second conductor comprises a conventional round conductor wire and the flat conductor cable includes a suitable terminal connector, both of which are sandwiched between the mounting surface and the head of the fastener. A pedestal housing is also provided for the base and the support member and may include means for mounting of a duplex or other suitable electrical device therein and to which the second conductor is connected.
Electrical connector junction means for use with flat conductor cable of the type including outer insulation and a conductor therewithin, said cable adapted to lie along a floor, said electrical connector junction means comprising:
In combination, a flat conductor cable adapted to lie along a floor and having a first plurality of conductors surrounded by insulation;
