Abstract
An installation kit for wiring systems includes flat multiconductor cable having a displaceable overlying shield and a connection guide adapted for receiving first and second cables in mutually overlapped, shield-displaced relation and limiting connection of conductors to preselected connection zones.
Claims12
A kit of parts for use in the installation of a wiring system, comprising:
- (a) flat electrical cable having a plurality of elongate conductors disposed in an electrically insulative casing and having an electrically conductive shield displaceably overlying said casing and electrically connected to one of said conductors;
- and
- (b) connection means adapted for receiving first and second such cables in mutually overlapping shield-displaced relation and providing for predetermined mutual alignment thereof, said connection means limiting connection of conductors of said first cable to conductors of said second cable to preselected zones of the plurality of zones available for making connection therebetween;
- and
- (c) means for identifying for connection use less than all of said preselected zones.

A kit of parts for use in the installation of a wiring system, comprising:
- (a) flat electrical cable having a plurality of elongate conductors in an electrically insulative casing and having an electrically conductive shield displaceably overlying said casing and electrically connected to one of said conductors;
- and
- (b) connection means adapted for receiving and aligning such flat cable in shield-displaced condition and for perforating said casing in any selected one of a plurality of predetermined perforation patterns, connection zones of such patterns being collectively established in said connection means and being applied to said cable in registry with said conductors by virtue of such alignment, said connection means including means for limiting connection use of said connection zones to connections corresponding to said patterns.
