Abstract
In an entrance terminal for a telephone cable, each terminal has an integral cable conductor trough at one side, generally closed by a cover. End walls in the troughs have apertures therein the apertures breaking through the edges of the end walls of the troughs, forming gaps of a width less than the diameter of the apertures. Sleeves extend through the appertures in adjacent end walls of adjacent terminals. By axially sliding a sleeve upward, out of the apertures, it is possible to remove a terminal without disturbing the remainder, as conductors can be eased through the gaps.
