A T-JOINT CONNECTOR

摘要

A power connection system (100) is disclosed for interconnecting with a power cable. The power cable includes an outer insulating jacket (103) and inner insulated sector cables (104-107). The connection system includes a clamping unit (101) for clamping around the cable, the clamping unit including a series of apertures (66). A cable cutting tool (201) is provided and is inserted into an aperture, and removes portions of the inner and outer insulating jackets underneath the aperture. A connector unit (220) is then inserted into the aperture and pierces the inner cable to provide for a conductive interconnection with the inner cable. The clamping unit also has inwardly projecting ribs (240) which locate between the edges of the inner sector cables to accurately position the apertures against the inner cables. In another embodiment, the outer jacket of the power cable is marked so as to indicate the location of the sector cables within the jacket.
