How to Install the Two Way Splicer Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Two Way Splicer Connector for copper cables.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush

Supplies needed:

Two Way Splicer Connectors, Heat shrink tubing, Cable ties

  1. Strip the cable insulation

    Use wire strippers to remove insulation from the cable ends to the specified length of 7/16 inches. Avoid nicking the cable strands.

  2. Clean the cable ends

    Ensure the cable ends are clean. Use a wire brush or emery cloth to remove any oxidation or debris.

  3. Insert and crimp the connector

    Insert the stripped cable ends into the Two Way Splicer Connector until they stop. Use a crimping tool to compress the connector between the markings, starting near the center.
