cable branch, cable connection

Explanation:
Brandstetter Woerterbuch der Kabeltechnik gives 'branch cable' for 'Stichkabel' and I have seen 'Stich' used in the sense of a non-looping wire. That is, it just goes from A to B and stops there.

Wernicke Lexikon der Elektronik ... gives 'einschleifen einer Leitung' as 'to connect a line into a circuit'

Here's a guess, more or less educated:

Explanation:
On REALLY thin ice here and certainly no context to go on.

No hits at all on Kabelstich (except for cable stitch, a knitting term...), and none on Kabeleinschleifen, either. However, I do think the einschleifen comes from Schleife = loop, not from schleifen = grind

For the corresponding verbs:
Stechen n
plunge cutting
Stechen
groove v

einschleifen v (Bürsten)
bed in v, seat v
einschleifen v (Leiter)
loop in v

Budig also supports "loop in" for einschleifen, but is silent on stechen.

So ...
maybe this module tells you how to cut and/or groove the cable and then loop in the conductor ??

Definitely guessing here, but maybe it'll make some sense within your overall context.

Explanation:
There is a distinction between the German terms durchschleifen and einschleifen: In the first case (loop-through) the cable runs into the unit to be hooked up and there is a direct physical connection between the input and output connector. All signals run into the unit as well as straight on along the cable.
In the second case the cable runs into the unit and there is no physical connection between input and output, i.e. the unit acts as a link between the two and all signals HAVE to pass through the unit.
