French term or phrase: borniers
-Les interconnections PE sont dans l’ensemble assez mal assurées, la terre électrique est réalisée par du 2.5mm2 maxi alors qu’il faudrait du 16mm2.

-L’interconnection des masses métallique et chemin de câble n’est pas entièrement réalisée, pas bouclée , cosse non conforme à la section.

-Les divers liaisons par cables blindés ne sont pas très isolé du reste des cables puissance existants , dans les chemins de câble et armoires .

-Les raccordements des blindages laissent apparaître beaucoup de fils sans protection PE dans les divers coffrets ou ils croisent d’autre fils non blindés dans ce cas il serait plus prudent de laisser le blindage au plus prés **des borniers.**

terminal (strip OR block)
Explanation:
As we are talking about screened signal cables here, they are likely to be relatively small in section, and hence, a 'terminal strip' or 'terminal block' is likely ot be used — but as we can't say for sure, the safest bet would be simply to say 'terminal', which covers all possibilities, and would in any case be a more natural way of expressing it in EN.

There are lots of different types of terminal for connecting such cabling, all of which would likely be called 'bornier' in FR, but might well have distinct names in EN.

I suppose you're right, Tony. "Electrical terminal clamping assembly" or "electrical connector assembly" would be more precise, but less concise.

neutral  Tony M: I would avoid 'board', which usually has quite specific connotations, unlikely to be appropriate here. / The thing is, whether the terminal is in a block or on a board, here we're talking about the detail where the wire enters the actual terminal itself
