No, but it is still available (easily) and it is very well made. Or at least the ones I have used are. The back shells are designed so you can fit them round the cable after wiring, thus avoiding the fruity language normally produced when you wire up nearly 100 wires and realise you have forgotten to thread the cable through the back shell. -tony
