Abstract

A wiring distribution system including connectors, tools, and methods is provided for building wiring. The mechanical and electrical interconnection is performed to the individual connector components in a crimping operation to the individual wires after removal of the outer covering. Using panels with apertures for accepting interchangeable connectors reduces the layers of connecting panels used between a wallplate and a computer.
