| 摘要 | A conductor tape according to this disclosure comprises a first insulator layer having an adhesive for attaching the insulator to a wall surface. Conductors are attached to the opposite surface of said first insulation layer, and a second insulation layer overlaps the conductors. A metallic layer, such as a steel ribbon, is disposed over the second insulation layer. Spacers may be provided at regular intervals along the length of the tape to separate the conductors from the first insulator layer so that a connector lip of an electrical attachment may be wedged between the first insulator layer and the conductors to make electrical contact with the conductors to supply the attachment with electrical energy. | ||||||
