Drop Connectors

EX Universal Compression Connectors - Series 59, 6, Plenum and Headend Cable
PPC EX Universal Drop Connectors

Installers are faced with the problem of identifying old unmarked 60% through Quad Shield Series 6 cable, and having to guess which connector is the best match.

This results in unnecessary service calls due to the use of the wrong connector/cable match. The unique patented design of the EX® body achieves true universality on 60% through Quad Shield for PE, and PVC jackets.

Every day installers are faced with identifying old unmarked cable and having to guess which connector is correct. The wrong connector choice degrades the plant, leading to noise and moisture ingress that ultimately results in a service call. The PPC EX® Universal Drop Connector takes the guesswork out of matching connector to cable—and reduces service calls.
