    Hager J803

    It says on the manufacturers website that you can connect 4 cables using the J803. In the lid it says you can put two, 1mm2 wires per hole. Does this mean you can connect up to 8, 1mm2 cables? Also do you have to turn the cable grip around if you are only securing one cable by the grip?
