Copper Reducing Splices
Thomas & Betts copper reducing splices are the most recent addition to the telecom
line of copper compression lugs and connectors. They are designed for use in Central
Office equipment installations in place of H-Taps in applications where the main cable is
stepped down. When space is at a premium and standard H-Tap splicing options are too
cumbersome, the Thomas & Betts reducing splices can be the right choice. These splices
are available for a range of cables from 750 Flex to 6 Code.
• Requires less “real estate” in a Central Office
• Does not require a cover other than clear heat shrink
• One-person installation — each side crimped separately
• Utilizes standard lug crimping dies — more standard tooling options —
lower tonnage tools can now install even the largest splice
• Hand tools can be used on splices for 500 Code/350 Flex and smaller
• Inspection holes verify cable is fully inserted into each barrel
Splices for the following cable combinations are available. Appropriate quantities
of pre-cut lengths of UL
®
Listed clear-heat shrink are provided with each splice.
