TUK IDC 2-Way Gel Crimp Connector

The TUK IDC 2-Way Gel Crimp Connector is a high-performance, professional-grade telecommunications splicing solution. Engineered for reliability in demanding environments, these connectors utilise a specialised waterproof gel that creates a secure, moisture-resistant seal around the connection, protecting against corrosion and ensuring long-term signal integrity. This insulation displacement crimp (IDC) design allows for quick and tool-free installation—simply 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, saving significant time and reducing the risk of wire damage during termination.

Featuring a transparent high-clarity housing made from robust polypropylene, these connectors allow for immediate visual inspection of the crimped splice to confirm a correct and secure connection. The material offers excellent chemical resistance and high tensile strength, ensuring the connector maintains its integrity across a wide range of high and low working temperatures. Designed with user convenience in mind, the cable entry ports are specifically shaped to accommodate and securely retain a customised test probe for on-the-spot line testing and troubleshooting.

Key Applications & Compatibility

This connector is BT Openreach approved, making it a trusted choice for telecommunications infrastructure work. It is suitable for connecting any two telephone conductors in both internal and external installations. It accommodates a broad range of conductor types and sizes, including copper conductors from 0.32mm to 0.9mm and aluminium conductors up to 0.5mm (equivalent to 28 AWG to 19 AWG). Its versatility and robust construction make it an essential component for engineers, technicians, and installers working on domestic, commercial, and network provider projects where a fast, reliable, and protected splice is a
