Is It Coming Or Going?
When you open a box and you see more than one wire, this is a
middle-of-run circuit box. This is unlike a box having only one
wire that is called an end-of-run circuit box. This is the mid-way
part of a circuit, whether it is the beginning box or one father
down the line. It either has a feed coming in and a wire to feed
something like a light, or it may be used for a four-way switch
where a wire comes from a three-way switch and leaves to connect to
another three-way switch. The same would be true of an outlet box
that is in the middle of a line of outlets feeds.So the next time
you open a junction box and look at the wiring behind a switch or
outlet, you'll be able to identify whether this the circuit's
device is a middle-of-run circuit. Is It Coming Or Going?

the acceptable way, and No Way! It's simple enough to wire a
receptacle when one wire is in the junction box, but what happens
when there are two wires? Don't panic! There are ways to git'er
done!One way is to connect the wires to the terminal screws
provided and feed the circuit through the receptacle. This is the
acceptable method, but not recommended. Another is the pigtail wire
method. This is this choice among electricians and the National
Electrical Code. And then there is the back-wired method. Gasp! Oh
my! This is not...
