An extensive range of cost-effective products is available for sealing, connecting and protecting telephone networks, providing the platform for creative solutions for copper and fiber network applications from the exchange/head-end to the subscriber premises.

A range of both discrete and modular connectors is available for splicing copper cable conductors.
They are based on insulation displacement contact (IDC) technology, eliminating the need for time-consuming wire stripping, wrapping or soldering.

The difference between tooling kit models is only the splicing head. The standard kit has a fixed T-pedestal which in the Universal kit is optional. The second one can adapt itself to all the clamps sometimes with a T-pedestal and others without. The rest of the accessories are the same for both.

PICABOND connectors provide an economical and reliable means of splicing multi-conductor telephone cable.

• color-coding denotes sizing and weather-resistant type

• accommodates solid core conductors from 0.32 to
  0.9 mm diameter (AWG 28 to 19)

• pulp, paper or plastic insulated wire can be spliced

• lightweight and compact

• typically reduces splice space required by 33 percent
  compared to other techniques

• straight, butt, tap and bridge splicing possible

A variety of tools and accessories is also available.

C-LOK connectors are recommended for connecting
solid or stranded copper conductors in grounding applications including direct burial.

SHEAR-LOK copper tap/grounding connectors are designed to withstand mid-range magnitudes of fault current.

Wrench-Lok grounding connectors are a safe, fast, reliable way to permanently join conductor-to-conductor, conductor-to-ground rod, or other grounding applications.

Tel-Splice connectors provide an economical and reliable means of splicing telephone cable conductors.

Tyco Electronics’ TCS2 cable sleeve is acrosslinked, heat-shrinkable polyolefin sleeve used for insulating and sealing underground and aerial connections in CATV plant. Such cable connections include splices, trunk amplifiers, line extenders, splitters, directional couplers,
and taps. The sleeve is also used in low voltage (600V) electrical power distribution applications.

With Raychem’s Thermoshield-TR coaxial cable repair system, it is no longer necessary to shut down the system to temporarily repair an outer conductor break. Upon installation the electrical signal and mechanical integrity are reinstated and the break is environmentally protected for at least 45 days.

Extensive lab and field tests show that once the Thermoshield-TR coaxial cable repair system has been installed, RF shielding integrity is restored over the damaged section.
