A snap-together segmented fanning strip that simplifies grouping of wires or spreads out the wires in a cable of a machine tool or the like for distribution to channel-mounted terminal blocks of a terminal strip to complete a series of electrical circuits. The segmented fanning strip includes a plurality of fanning blocks which incorporate a snap fit between the blocks rather than a tongue-in-groove or a keyed connection to arrange the fanning blocks in a row in a side-by-side abutting relation. To assemble the blocks in a segmented fanning strip, the top front edge of one block interfits into the channel at the top outer edge of the other block so that they are side by side and then the blocks are pressed together to snap the bottom edge of the one block into the upwardly facing channel in the bottom edge of the other block to establish the connection between the blocks. An ear projecting laterally outwardly from the bottom edge of the one block and an end wall in the channel on the top of the other block prevents rotation between blocks in a colligated state.
