Abstract
An improvement is disclosed for a cabinet housing separate arrays of terminals connected to one end of leads in wire harnesses, the other end of such harness leads being connected through splices to insulated wire leads in field cables running to such cabinet and respective to such arrays. The leads in separate of such cables are electrically coupled by connections including such splices, harness leads and terminals and completed by jumper leads bridging terminals in separate of such arrays. The improvement constitutes providing on the back side of the cabinet a plurality of splice chambers each respective to one of the terminal arrays and one of the cables, placing in each splice chamber the splices of the harness leads for the corresponding terminal array and the wire leads of the corresponding cable, and filling such chamber with a body of material which encapsulates the assembly of such splices and adjacent lengths of such leads.
