Abstract
A wire-tape for completing substantially invisible electrical connections between electrical apparatus over exposed surfaces. The tape includes a clear adhesively coated polypropylene tape to which is adhered a fine wire having an inner coating of polyurethane and an outer coating of nylon. Special electrical terminals and splicing connectors are provided, both of which include a channel into which the wire nests and sharp prongs which pierce the tape and crimp over the wire into electrical contact therewith.
