APCD also offers a variety of interconnecting and bussing accessories. Adjoining or non-adjoining terminal blocks can be connected together in a variety of ways. Pre-assembled shorting links is one option. A pre-assembled bus bar which sits in a protective well in the top center of the terminal block, runs the length of the block group to be interconnected, and is electrically and mechanically connected to each block in the group by means of a secure screw connection. The bars are utilized in conjunction with threaded screw and spacer elements which clamp the bus bar directly to the current bar of the terminal block. Terminal blocks are included in the bussed group by utilizing the screw/spacer to connect them to the bus bar. Terminal blocks which are not part of the bussed group are simply not connected to the bus bar. Therefore, it is possible to create a bussed group which "bridges" certain blocks.  Links are available in both insulated and uninsulated designs, are supplied in 2-3-4 and 10 position lengths, and can be readily cut to desired length. Side Jumpers can also be used. An insulated “comb” side jumper which runs the length of the block group and locks into the wire holes can also be used. These jumpers are also available in 2-3-4-10 position lengths, and can be readily cut to desired length and inserted into the wire entry hole.  If it is desired to skip or "bridge" one or more blocks in a sequence, the appropriate contact elements can be removed.
