The 3M brand Scotchlok
™
UDW2 Connector is the
easiest drop wire connector
to install.
The UDW2 is a full pair, moistureresistant drop wire connector designed
to accommodate 16 - 19 AWG
(1.3 mm - 0.9 mm) copper or coppercoated steel conductors in strain relief
areas. Its precrimp feature helps hold
the drop wires in place until the
connector is crimped and the splice is
complete. Molded from a black UV
resistant plastic, the UDW2 does not
require taping.
The Scotchlok UDW2 Connector
is ideal for use on Alpha Duct GT-7,
Alpha Tel, F-Drop and C-Drop wire
accommodating a maximum
insulation of 0.175” x 0.180” (4.45
mm x 4.57 mm) and a minimum of
0.100” x 0.100” (2.54 mm x 2.54 mm).
When used in mid-span applications
or where tensile load is greater than 50
pounds, additional strain relief should
be provided using wire clamps.
For best results, use with Scotchlok
E-9B or E-9BM Crimping Tools.
UDW2 Connectors are available in
bags of 25 connectors.
