sono stupidissima! non so perché ma ero convinta che chiedessi la traduzione in francese. Scusatemi e, ovviamente, ignorate la mia risposta. Scusate ancora.

per noi sono le scatole di derivazione.
Non so cosa abbia visto il Marolli, ma le muffole (come i morsetti) sono accessori per GIUNTARE i cavi. Le scatole di derivazione sono invece della scatole di "smistamento" degli impianti, ispezionabili, in cui i cavi vengono di norma giuntati.

vedere pagina 12 (muffole di derivazione e muffole lineari) che fa parte del capitolo "morsetti e giunzioni"
