ABC cable accessories low voltage insulation piercing connectors

Insulation Piercing Connectors (IPC) are used on all AB cable systems (messenger wire as well as self supporting system) to take a tap connection. This tap can be used to continue the line, distribute the line, used in street lighting or in service connections to households.

The design allows the connection to be completely sealed against any water ingress, thus acting as a waterproof connector.

There are four main applications to IPC's, namely street lighting, tap off, distribution box charging, and jumper connections. You can click here to learn more about the application of IPC's and how to chose the correct one for your requirements.
