These are used in wiring buildings where wire-eating rats are common. The rats see the connectors, and assume no wires are present. |

The rats see the connectors, and assume no wires are present. That doesn't make any sense because the wires would be visible. Wouldn't you have to use nonwiring *wire* along with the nonwiring wire connectors to fool the rats? That raises the bigger question: Are they "nonwiring wire" connectors or nonwiring "wire connectors"? |

Whatever you do, don't label the wire "compressed helium" in an attempt to fool them. They love that stuff. Chewed through my helium line in a dozen places and ran around talking like little mice. |
