Overview

The NSI Industries Polaris IPL4-4C Vision Tap Connector is a pre-insulated, multi-tap splicing solution designed for secure, visible connections in industrial and commercial wiring applications. This 4-port single-side entry connector accommodates 4 to 14 AWG conductors and is rated for 600V, making it suitable for both line and load side installations in cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways, and troughs. The ergonomic design provides a comfortable grip during installation, while removable port plugs secure entry points and prevent debris ingress. Each port is pre-loaded with an oxide inhibitor to minimize corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over time. The IPL4-4C is dual-rated for use with both copper and aluminum cables, with maximum ampacity ratings of 95A for copper and 75A for aluminum. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum alloy, the connector operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -45°C to 90°C (-49°F to 194°F). The insulated design eliminates the need for additional taping or covers, streamlining installation and reducing material costs. This connector is part of NSI Industries' Vision Tap series, which offers multiple configurations including single-side, dual-side, offset, and in-line entry options. The IPL4-4C is designed for parallel-rated applications and is tested for maximum ampacities, providing a versatile solution for splicing needs. Installation requires only a hex key and torque wrench—no specialized tools or supplies are needed. The clear body and pre-filled inhibitor simplify the process, reducing labor time and improving reliability in critical connections.
  • Clear Exterior: Vision Tap transparent design lets users see their work to ensure ideal conductor placement and the most secure connection
  • Ergonomic Design: Rounded corners and a smooth exterior finish over the plastisol insulation make Polaris connectors comfortable to grip
  • Removable Plugs: Each port and adjustable set screw is covered by a secure plug to prevent debris, moisture or contaminants from entering the insulated connector
  • Pre-filled Oxide Inhibitor: All 4 single-side entry ports come pre-filled with an oxide inhibitor gel to prevent corrosion and provide low-contact resistance
  • Professional Performance: The durable layer of insulation on each Polaris connector is UV, abrasion and chemical-resistant for reliable performance
