Abstract
The process for the termination of electric cables (2) makes it possible, during the installation of the electric structure of a building, to prepare the final connection of each cable (2) by any random operator. Use is made of standardized cable termination means for provisionally storing the cable ends. The apparatus essentially comprises a block (1) within which is inserted, for each cable (2), a locking part (3) having a flexible tongue (5). The introduction of a cable (2) into its recess (7) is definitive as a result of the locking action of the tongue (5). The final connection takes place by means of a connecting hole (8) traversing the recess (7). It is therefore possible to prepare the connection of numerous cables with numerous electrical equipments to be supplied.
