French term or phrase: équipements extremité
Does anybody know what is meant by "équipements extremité"?

I'm unsure about what is meant by "extremité". There is no real context, just appears in a heading followed by references to electrical equipment, such as jumper cables, ducts etc.

Many thanks for your thoughts on this:)

ending/terminating equipments


Explanation:
I also thought of the word terminal but on seeing that jumper cables, ducts etc. are included,which are in no way part of the terminal equipment, I felt that terminal is not the right choice.
