In one embodiment, the terminal block comprises an insulating body having first and second coupling ends and a first conductor disposed within the insulating body having first and second conducting ends. The first coupling end is configured to mechanically couple to the terminal block. The second coupling end is configured to mechanically couple to another terminal block extension. The first conducting end is configured to couple to one of the electrical contacts. The second conducting end is configured to receive a first wire of the wiring system and cooperatively engage a first coupling end of another terminal block extension.
