Cable connections in electrical installation Connect cables fast and easily without special tools. Our large portfolio of conductor connectors and installation connectors offers the optimum solution for power connections and power distribution.
Laying and extending cables and repairing damaged cables are everyday challenges in the electrical trade. Connecting motors for window coverings, blinds, and awnings is also one of the electrical installation tasks. QPD connectors, conductor connectors, and distributors make quick work of this. The IDC fast connection does not require stripping or screwing.
With the robust design, the connection is protected from external influences. All the QPD installation system components guarantee a high level of protection against tensile loads and moisture, and are impact-resistant.
- Time savings of up to 80% through IDC connection without special tools
- High degree of reliability with robust housings up to IP68/IP69 degree of protection and IK07 shock resistance
- Flexible solutions with fixed and pluggable versions, plus a wide range of cable connectors and distributors from 1.5 to 6 mm² in various numbers of positions
