The JCF1 Overhead Insulation Piercing Connector

Ease of Installation: There are no special tools or cable stripping required. The installation simply involves the insertion of the jacketed secondary cable into the connector and tightening of a shear-head bolt. All connectors can be installed with only 2 hex wrenches: (1/2" and 5/8"). The turbo spacer allows the tap side to remain open while you hand tighten the connector on the main wire.

Connection Quality: Our unique double shear-head bolt ensures connection quality and the correct tightening torque without the use of a torque wrench guaranteeing a perfect connection every time. This feature eliminates the possibility of hot spots, damaged wires or loose connections.

Safety: The bolt and all external parts of the connector are completely isolated from energized parts and the bolt is covered by the plastic shear-head. The installer has no contact at any point with an energized part.
JCF1 IPC's can even be installed on energized conductors, however, the tap must not be under load.
