Color-Keyed The Color-Keyed® compression system ensures a proper crimp onto the
conductor by matching the right connector to the right tool and die,
using a color coding system that was developed and introduced to the
industry by Thomas & Betts. When using the Color-Keyed compression
system with our Blackburn® line of compression connectors, the installer
can count on a reliable, high quality connection.
Features
Stranded Wire Termination; The precision hardened steel dies used by the Color-Keyed system exert tremendous, controlled pressure on the connector and form the strands and connector into a solid mass.
Verifiable and Inspectable: A die code embossed onto the Color-Keyed connector during compression makes it easy for inspectors to compare the finished crimp with the die table to verify correct termination.
Shure-Stake® Crimp Mechanism: The Shure-Stake crimp mechanism eliminates guesswork and produces proper terminations every time.
