Cable distribution interface unit

An electrical cable distribution interface unit for a building structure for mounting within a framework defined by studs and between adjacent ones of the studs and between opposed wall panels to be mounted to said framework, said unit comprising a housing having dimensions permitting mounting within the space bounded by the adjacent studs and the wall panels, said housing at least including side walls and, in at least one of said side walls, a series of slots, each of said slots having width and length to laterally receive a cable inserted therethrough in an easy sliding fit to facilitate extraction during cable termination of sufficient lengths of said cables forwardly of said housing and permitting access to the cable ends for termination thereof to terminals of an electronic module, afterwhich during positioning of said electronic module into said housing said slots enable excess portions of said cable lengths to be manually urged back through said slots and laterally out of said housing and into space within said framework, said housing including affixed therewithin, mounting means to receive and hold said electronic module with at least a set of said cables terminated thereto extending through at least said slots at right angles to the housing wall containing said slots whereby said housing no longer need retain said excess cable portions thus enabling the volume dimension of said housing to be of a reduced size when manufacturing thereof.
