How to Install the Two Way Splicer Connector

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly installing a 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

    Strip the insulation from the cable to the specified length of 5/8 inches, being careful not to nick the cable strands.

  2. Prepare the cable end

    Ensure the cable end is clean. Use a wire brush or emery cloth to clean it if necessary.

  3. Insert and crimp the connector

    Insert the prepared cable into the Two Way Splicer Connector until it stops. Use the appropriate crimping tool to compress the connector between the markings, starting near the center.

  4. Remove sharp edges

    After crimping, carefully remove any sharp edges, flash, or burrs from the connector to ensure safety.

  5. Insulate the connection

    Apply heat shrink tubing over the crimped connection to provide insulation and protection.
