3M Scotchlok Communication Connectors More than 50 years ago, 3M introduced the industrys original insulation displacement connectorthe 3M Scotchlok Connector UR. Today, with increased demand for high-speed and high-bandwidth networks, the complete series of 3M connectors and tools is now more important than ever. Through the years, we have learned new technologies while building on the original successful design, shape, color-coded cap concepts, and element congfi uration of the original insulation displacement contact design. We offer many connectors tested to Cat. 5 compliance allowing service providers the ability to meet the demand for enhanced services such as high speed Internet, video-on-demand, and video conferencing. Double elements in many products, solvent-resistant plastic construction, full wire range product offering and factory installed sealant are just some of the features and benetfi s of 3M Scotchlok communication connectors. 3M Scotchlok Butt Connectors Scotchlok butt connectors employ a specially designed, wire insulation displacement contact to make a reliable electrical connection to each wire. A live-spring joint is made by driving the wire down into the U contact connector. This process displaces the wire insulation and grasps all conductors with a firm pressure, all in one motion. No stripping of wire insulation is required. Some connectors include a factory installed sealant to help protect against corrosion and provide moisture resistance. They are also available in dry versions for central ofcfi e and vault applications.
