That would be the AMP quick connect kit. Been there, done that, got the sc=
ars and war stories too.
The most notable was that the "drops" from the actual coax down to the end-=
stations were of a non-trivial length, and the actual length added to you=
r coax segment was double that (due to the loop out to the end-station). =
We had several cases of segments getting "too long" unexpectedly, and so=
me green techs hooking up 3-4 drops in their new office areas at the same=
time (adding ~100' to your run)...

There were several proprietary solutions to the 10base2 conundrum,
I can't remember the name of the one I was most familiar with, but it
eliminated all that stuff by using a molded cable that had a BNC on
one end, contained dual RG cables inside a heavy jacket, and a funky
molded plug on the end. The plug would connect to a socket through
which a 10base2 segment ran, and inserting the plug would open a=20
switch that shorted the conductors, and then the cable would form
the link to re-complete the segment.
