A floor plate assembly (11), for terminating flat flexible cables (22,22) at two bracket members (14,14) on the plate, is disclosed. The floor plate has adequate area to assure firm adhesive bonding to a floor (73), with flat flexible cables being laid over the plate. Protective flanges (29,29) are provided on a pair of complementary, temporary cover sections (26,26) and an optionally pivotable bracket member (44) to protect substantial lengths of cable from accidental cutting during carpet-laying operations. The plate and a permanent housing (72) cooperate to clamp the carpet (74) about the bracket members, without creating undue stresses on an adhesive bond between the plate and the floor during threaded attachment of the housing to the bracket. |
