An apparatus and method for splicing single pair ethernet (SPE) cables. By creating a T shaped intersection, the splicing device allows for sensors and other devices to run perpendicular in relation to the original cable. The splicing device further enables the cable to have multiple drop points along the cable.

A device is provided for aligning a ribbon cable relative to an electrical connector to crimp the electrical connector onto the ribbon cable with a tool. The device includes a side portion and a central piece. The side portion includes an upper end and a cable track having a width sized to receive the ribbon cable. The central piece is coupled to the side portion and includes an upper surface. The upper surface of the central piece and the upper end of the side portion at least partially define a connector retaining segment sized to receive the electrical connector.

A connection terminal includes a housing, a slide, and an insulation displacement contact. At least portions of the slide and the insulation displacement contact are received in the housing. The slide has an opening for inserting a conductor to be contacted. The slide is movable from a first position toward the insulation displacement contact to a second position in order to engage the insulation displacement contact with the conductor to be contacted. The slide has a tool abutment configured to transmit, to the slide, an assembly force of a robot-guided assembly tool for moving the slide from the first position to the second position.

A connector for receiving a ribbon cable is provided. The connector includes a housing including an open top and a guide wall including a track and a cable organizer configured to be positioned within an interior of the housing and the open top and to receive the ribbon cable along a surface thereof. The connector also includes a cover configured to selectively cover the open top of the housing to enclose the cable organizer within the interior of the housing. The cover includes a rib configured to slide along the track so that the cover moves relative to the housing along a linear trajectory.

A connector for receiving a ribbon cable, to be assembled via a clamping tool, is provided. The connector includes a housing, a cover, and a protection cap. The housing includes an open top and a bottom. The cover is configured to selectively cover the open top of the housing to enclose the ribbon cable within an interior of the housing. The protection cap is configured to cover the bottom of the housing. The protection cap includes a nonplanar surface with a bump, where the clamping tool contacts the cover and the bump to force the cover toward the housing when the connector is assembled.
