General information
PICABOND connectors provide an economical and reliable Method for splicing multi-conductor telephone cables.
PICABOND connectors are manufactured from tin-plated phosphor bronze with bonded polyester insulation. Colour coding of the insulation is provided to denote the wire size and weather resistant type. Any solid core wire, 28 to 19 AWG (0.32 – 0.90 mm), with pulp, paper or plastic insulation can be spliced.
PICABOND splices reduce the space required over other splicing techniques by up to 33%. Straight, butt, tap, and bridge splices can be made with these connectors.
