Overview

The NSI Polaris IPLDS500-10 Multi-Tap Dual-Sided Entry Connector is a pre-insulated, 10-port wire connector engineered for secure, high-current splicing in tight-fitting spaces. Designed for conductors ranging from 500 MCM to 4 AWG, this connector supports up to 10 wires with stacked ports on one side and dual-sided ports on the bottom, enabling versatile entry from either direction. Each port is pre-loaded with oxide inhibitor and features removable access plugs for unused entries, eliminating the need for tape or additional sealing supplies. The aluminum alloy body is coated with high-dielectric strength plastisol insulation, providing abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance while maintaining a non-combustible construction. The ergonomic design includes a molded grip for comfort during installation, and the connector installs using only a hex key and torque wrench—no special tools or supplies required. Rated for 600V and 90°C operating temperature, the IPLDS500-10 is dual-rated for copper and aluminum cables, with maximum amp ratings of 1612A for copper and 1262A for aluminum. It is cold-temperature rated to -45°C, making it suitable for harsh environments. Ideal for applications in cable trays, panel boards, ducts, raceways, and troughs, the IPLDS500-10 saves time and labor by simplifying multi-wire connections in confined spaces. The compact design and stacked wire entry holes maximize space efficiency, while the removable plugs ensure unused ports remain protected. This connector is part of the Polaris series, a trusted brand in pre-insulated connectors, offering reliable performance in industrial, commercial, and utility installations.
  • Dual-Sided Wire Entry: Form secure connections between 10 conductors quickly using the double-side entry ports sized for wires between 500 MCM and 4 AWG
  • Stacked Connector: Stacked wires holes on one side of the connector excel at splicing large wires in tight-fitting spaces like panels or wire ways.
  • Ergonomic Design: Rounded corners and a smooth exterior finish over the abrasion-resistant plastisol insulation make Polaris connectors comfortable to grip
  • Removable Plugs: Each port and set screw comes with a secure plug to prevent debris from entering the insulated connector
  • Parallel Rated: This connector is specifically designed and rated for parallel installation, providing a safe and secure way to handle larger projects
