In a telephone splice case, do you have to strip the 2 wires you want to splice, and put them together, or does each wire that you want to connect attach to terminals in the case? I am talking about the black cases on a utility pole, that the residential phone wiring connects to.
You are only responsible for the wiring to the dmark - on my house, it is a small green box attached to the side of my house. If you are talking about something beyond that, I can not / will not assist you. Can you please clarify?
Your not suppose to be in that box. The only phone line you are to mess with is in your house. Call the phone company for this kind of repair.
truthfully it isn't any longer a code violation. there's a provision interior the electrical powered code that asserts that any splice might desire to be in a qualified container with cover and it would be available, meaning do no longer sheet rock over or placed cupboard in front of j container. The 8/3 section concerns me. maximum levels are rated at 50 amps and huge sort 8 is to small for fifty amps. examine the score plate on the kind. ascertain all connections are tight. Dan
In okorder .... (but not that big), then no, the wires do not need be stripped, just forced between the tines, the process of which nicks the insulation so the wire is in contact with the terminal. A pro uses a punchdown tool, but you can simulate the effect with a finger on one side and some needle nose pliers on the other. Be sure to seat it well to the back, and don't put more than one wire in a clip. The horizontal rows of 3 or 4 tines are connected together.
A telephone employee splicer does not need to strip the wires, they use connectors that pierce the insulation of the wire and make a connection that way. Normally that work is done to join two cables together. The more of the wire that is stripped, there is an increased possibility of water shorting out the two wires, and that is what will cause noisy or defective lines. If you are connecting a line to a house, inside the casing are terminal connections and you would use a connector that covers the wire that goes through the case and a single wire that will bridge onto or splice onto that connection. Again you minimize the amount of wire that is bared to minimize the possibility of shorting of the wires. See the link below for connectors. You are not allowed to climb a utility pole, or attach anything to a utility pole. If you are going into any equipment and you cause damage, you may be responsible to pay for any problems that you cause.
