TUK 2 Way Gel Crimp IDC Connector

The TUK 2 Way Gel Crimp IDC Connector is a telecommunications splicing connector that uses a waterproof gel to create a moisture-resistant seal around the connection. Its insulation displacement crimp (IDC) design allows telephone wires to be joined without stripping the insulation.

Overview

The waterproof gel forms a secure, moisture-resistant seal around the connection, helping to protect against corrosion. Installation is quick and tool-free: insert the prepared telephone wires into the designated holes and firmly compress the connector body. There is no need to strip the insulation from PE or PVC-sheathed conductors, which can save time and reduce the risk of wire damage during termination.

The transparent polypropylene housing allows the crimped splice to be visually inspected to confirm a correct and secure connection. The polypropylene material offers chemical resistance and high tensile strength, and the connector is designed to maintain its integrity across a wide range of high and low working temperatures. The cable entry ports are shaped to accommodate and securely retain a customised test probe for on-the-spot line testing and troubleshooting.
