摘要

An electrical cable interconnect device for use in an opening in a panel of an aircraft to interconnect cables on opposite sides of the panel. The interconnect device has a bracket having at least one peripheral edge that is configured and adapted to attach to the panel. A plate extends along a portion of the at least one peripheral edge of the bracket and through the opening in the panel. The plate has at least one opening that allows an electrical cable and/or a connector to be attached to the plate so that the plate facilitates interconnection of electrical cables on opposite sides of the panel. A cover can be disposed on top of the bracket so that the cover covers a portion of the opening in the panel. A gasket can be positioned between the bracket and the panel to seal the connection of the bracket to the panel.
