critical information is permanently fixed to product.

Exclusive features

8-point diamond cable clamps

• 8 points of contact around diameter of cable
for increased grip and even distribution of
pressure.

• Cable jacket does not get pinched, eliminating
potential for damage to internal conductors.

Split pin contact design

• Provides nearly 360° of contact at every
insertion, ensuring protection against heat rise
and eliminating arcing on critical surfaces.
