TC 80 base 5

Function

The TC 80 protective cable termination was developed for the connection of cables and protection of equipment and people. It is used in public or private incoming distribution frames on low frequency or PCM circuits.

Protection and electrical continuity are provided for each pair by a module.

Description

They are composed of:

• An aluminium channel member onto which the connection block(s) are fixed,
• Blocks composed of 5-pair strips,
• Two label-holders per block
• The strips are used for connection of the cable and of the jumpers to double self-strip contacts or double wrapping pins.

They take the protection, continuity, or looping modules. Protection is catered for by high-current lightning arresters, inserted into the module. All the earth circuits of the biscuits are connected together and to the channel.
