The PLATINUM TOOLS Ub Gel-Filled Connector (part number 18131) is designed for IT and telecommunications professionals requiring reliable wire terminations without stripping. These connectors utilize an insulation displacement contact (IDC) design, streamlining the splicing process for solid copper conductors. Each connector is gel-filled, providing essential moisture resistance and corrosion inhibition, which contributes to long-term connection stability in various environments. They are suitable for butt splicing two or three wires of the same or different gauges, making them practical for pigtail and load coil splice applications. Additionally, the Ub connector facilitates tapping onto an existing conductor without service interruption, avoiding the need to cut or open cable pairs. This product addresses the need for efficient, durable, and non-disruptive wire connection solutions in business IT infrastructure.
These connectors are designed to accept wire gauges between 22 and 26 AWG. They can accommodate wires of different gauges within this range for splicing.
These connectors are specifically for use with solid copper conductors only. They are not suitable for other conductor types.
The gel-filled design provides moisture resistance and inhibits corrosion. This feature helps ensure the reliability and longevity of the wire terminations, especially in environments where moisture might be a concern.
Yes, the Ub connector is designed for tapping onto an existing conductor without requiring service interruption. This eliminates the need to cut or open cable pairs during the process.
