Above the tree that knocked down the electric wire to accommodation and after they had repaired and left I was interested in a part they had left as its good to know odd facts.

The string CDRS/CT95-95MAIN AND TAP references a specific type of low-voltage insulated overhead line electrical connector (IPC – Insulation Piercing Connector) used in power distribution networks

Specifically, this is a compression or piercing tap connector engineered by manufacturers like Michaud or Sicame (often classified under codes like C203). It is designed for tapping or connecting branch electrical lines directly to a primary distribution line.
