ABC Insulation Piercing Connector 35-35MM2

IPC (Insulation Piercing Connectors) are used to tap off low voltage XLPE insulated Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC), using a unique insulation piercing technique.

ABC IPC Features
-Designed for all weather applications, corrosion resistant, ease of installation and low cost
-Connections can be made fully live in minutes, without time-consuming crimping, applying insulation or sealing compound
-Body moulded from tough, resilient, glass filled nylon for long service life exposed to weather (particularly sunlight) - rounded to prevent damage to adjacent conductors
-Extra hard aluminium contact teeth cut through insulation without splitting - ensure proper penetration into the conductor and electrical continuity without sacrificing mechanical strength of conductor
-Aluminium teeth ensure compatibility with aluminium conductor and will not deteriorate due to stress corrosion
-Rubber seals and grease prevent moisture entering cable for long term performance
-End caps provided are used to seal the end of the branch core
-Suitable for Aluminium and Copper

Instructions
IPC& acute;s are tightened onto the insulated conductor using a 13mm spanner and have a hex nut that shears once the correct torque is attained. The installation can be done fully live since the IPC is insulated and the insulation is not removed from the conductor. The contact pressure is maintained by the single hot dip galvanised bolt.
