Listed
multiple-tap electrical connections!
Leave it to Thomas & Betts to bring you the most versatile, affordable
solution for multiple-load installations from a single main conductor.
The KUBE
®
Multi-Tap system gangs multiple permanent, dependable
compression taps mounted on a high-conductivity copper rod to achieve
a space- and cost-efficient UL
®
Listed multiple-tap connection you
configure in the field. For even more flexibility, you can rotate connectors
individually on the Multi-Tap rod to accommodate the bends and angles
necessary to install equipment or complete circuitry — without the high
cost of flexible-conductor cable.
• Lowest installed cost for the application — eliminates
the need for expensive flexible-conductor cable
• Individual connectors can be rotated 360°
on rod for multi-directional connections
• Versatile, modular design supports a myriad
of connection possibilities
• UL
®
486AB Listed and CSA Certified for field installation
• Compression connections maintain integrity even under
vibration and high temperatures
• Supports wire sizes from #16 to 4/0 AWG
• Suitable for applications up to 600 volts
(1000 volts in signs and fixtures)
• Rods constructed of high-conductivity copper
with corrosion-resistant tin plating
• Connectors constructed of electro-tin plated high
conductivity copper with louvered contact bands
for reliable connections and color coding for easy
selection of crimping die
• Two-piece, UL94-V0-rated, polycarbonate insulators
snap onto connectors easily for fast, safe installation
Typical Applications
• Commercial construction
• Specialized installations for entertainment applications
• Gutter taps for all applications
• Any other application requiring the running of multiple
loads from a main conductor
This Multi-Tap installation
connects 4/0, #1 and
#2 AWG cables using
MD40F-3, MD1F-3 and
MD2F-3 connectors with
REC-3 insulators on an
R3-6 rod.
