TUK IDC 2-Way Gel Crimp Connector

The TUK IDC 2-Way Gel Crimp Connector is a telecommunications splice connector with a waterproof gel seal for tool-free installation.

Overview

This insulation displacement crimp (IDC) connector joins two telephone conductors. The waterproof gel creates a moisture-resistant seal around the connection, helping to protect against corrosion and support long-term signal integrity. To install, insert the prepared telephone wires into the designated holes and firmly compress the connector body. The insulation does not need to be stripped from PE or PVC-sheathed conductors, which can save time and reduce the risk of wire damage during termination.

Key Features

• Waterproof gel seal that is moisture-resistant and helps protect against corrosion
• Insulation displacement crimp (IDC) design for tool-free installation
• No need to strip insulation from PE or PVC-sheathed conductors
• Transparent polypropylene housing for immediate visual inspection of the crimped splice
• Cable entry ports shaped to accommodate and securely retain a customised test probe for on-the-spot line testing
• BT Openreach approved

Materials and Performance

The housing is made from polypropylene, which offers excellent chemical resistance and high tensile strength. According to the product information, the connector maintains its integrity across a wide range of high and low working temperatures.

Conductor Compatibility

Suitable for connecting any two telephone conductors in internal and external installations. Copper conductors from 0.32 mm to 0.9 mm and aluminium conductors up to 0.5 mm are accepted, equivalent to 28 AWG to 19 AWG.

Applications

Suitable for engineers, technicians, and installers working on domestic, commercial, and network provider projects, including telecommunications infrastructure work where a fast, reliable, and protected splice is required.
