Modular wiring

Offsite residential construction, Glossary of terms, published by Buildoffsite in 2018, defines modular (electrical) wiring as: ‘A pre-assembled electrical cabling system, using pre-terminated electrical cables usually made up into looms or wiring harnesses to provide the electrical distribution system for all mains small power, lighting and appliances.’

This might also be referred to as a wiring loom.
