Telephone phone splice junction block terminal bridge
These phone connector blocks are Utility quality, not some cheap hardware store blocks.
These are 2 line telephone splice junction blocks. They have 2 rows 6 of connectors that do not require any special tools to splice phone wires together. The tabs lift up, and the pair of phone wires goes inside the red & green slots under the tab, then the tab is pushed back down completing the connection. This can be done over and over again (reuseable).
These connections work with analog & digital telephone services. (I have seen these, also, used for speaker wire!)
They are commonly used in basements to join all of the house wires to one central area and make trouble shooting a breeze.
The left side of the block is all connected together, for one line, and the right side is all connected together for line two, the whole block can be used for one line with the use of a short jumper wire from one side to the other.
The connector tabs have a silicon gel inside of the connectors to provide a water or moisture resistant seal. These blocks can be mounted outdoors but will need a shelter to be housed in (not included). They can handle the hot & cold temperatures.
