Abstract:
An aerial terminal for distributing one or more drop wires from a distribution cable, comprising:(a) a splice chamber adapted to receive the distribution cable;(b) a terminal block adapted to receive one or more connections from the distribution cable; and(c) a tray assembly having one or more holes adapted to receive one or more paired-conductor drop wires from the terminal block and one or more converter holes each adapted to receive a converter that allows signals over an additional conductor pair to be converted and sent through a coaxial-cable drop wire, wherein each converter is a rectilinear converter and the tray assembly has an edge running along a bottom of the tray assembly adjacent to each converter hole and protruding from the bottom of the tray assembly to inhibit rotation of each rectilinear converter during installation of each rectilinear converter onto the tray assembly.
