A socket outlet 40 is mounted on a flat power distribution cable 10 by a pedestal 50 which includes a base unit 52, an upper clamp unit 54 secured to it, and a separator plate 56. The base unit 52 has insulation displacement contacts (IDCs) 76 mounted with screw terminals 72. The IDCs 76 connect the live and neutral cable conductors 12, 14 from below, while a pointed bolt 88 forms a contact from above with the earthing screen 26 of the cable, the plate 56 being located beneath the screen 26 to separate the cable components and stop the IDCs penetrating too far. The standard socket outlet 40 is connected to the screw terminals 72 and bolt 88 using short lengths of wire, but can be interchanged or replaced by a blanking plate. To this end bushes 104 are of standard size and spacing, and there are also bolts 116 of the same gauge and spacing adjacent to them for mounting the pedestal on a standard mounting box.
