Installation connectors in electrical installations Connect cables for power and signal transmission quickly and conveniently. Implement flexible power distribution effortlessly. Our large portfolio of installation connectors and distribution boards provides the ideal solution for buildings and infrastructure equipment.
Laying and extending cables and repairing damaged cables are everyday challenges in the electrical trade. Complex power distribution and the connection of motors for window coverings, for example, also form part of the electrical installation tasks. Our installation connectors, cable connectors, and distributors make quick work of this.
Our three IPD, PRC, and QPD installation systems feature easy installation and a robust design. They provide you with the reliable transmission and distribution of power and signals in outdoor and wet areas. Use QPD installation connectors and distribution boards with fast IDC connection without any special tools. Or connect cables conveniently and without tools: the IPD system with Push-in Technology makes this possible. Do you prefer the proven screw connection? Then opt for the PRC installation system.
- The right connection technology for every application: Fast IDC contact, easy Push-in Technology, and proven screw connection
- Quick and easy assembly without special tools
- High degree of reliability with robust housings up to IP66/IP68/IP69 degree of protection and IK08 impact resistance
