Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2331683A] The present invention provides a method of coupling a telecommunications signal to a plurality of power cables (15), each cable being connected in a line to a bus-bar (11-13) the method including the steps of selecting one of the cables located substantially in the centre of the line and either coupling the telecommunications signal to the selected cable or coupling the signal to the bus-bar in the vicinity of the selected cable. By "in the vicinity" is preferably meant at or near the selected cable e.g. nearer to the selected cable than to any of the other cables connected to the bus-bar. Where a telecommunications signal is to be connected to a plurality of power cables, one aim is usually to ensure a roughly equal distribution of telecommunications signal power among the power cables. By making the physical connection in the vicinity of one of the central cables in the line, as proposed above, this helps to ensure that the signal power is approximately distributed in as equal away as possible. A fuse holder modified to include a telecommunications signal connector is also disclosed (figs. 2-5 not shown).
