| (54) | Cable-junction block |
| (57) A cable-junction block (20) is provided for forming a low-voltage cable junction
for cables incorporating five or mote cores. The block (20) comprises connector sections
(21) moulded integrally with one another. Each of the connector sections (21) comprises
a hollow, substantially cylindrical interior space (22) with a likewise substantially
cylindrical contact piece (23) that is disposed in the interior space. In each case
the contact piece (23) is insulated from the contact pieces (23) in the other connector
sections (21) and can receive two opposed cable-core ends. Each contact piece (23)
has at least one fixation element (24) that can be moved radially into the interior
space (22) of the contact piece (23) in order to retain the cable ends in their inserted
state. The cable block (20) comprises m connector sections (21) that are disposed
in a first plane and n connector sections (21) that are disposed in a second plane, such that m > 2 and n > 3. These connector sections (21) are connected to one another in such a way that
engagement sections (24a) of the fixation elements (24) are accessible from one side
of the cable-junction block (20), as also are inspection openings if present.
