ITC unveils new coaxial connector range aimed at European installers
Oct. 8, 2007 — The Quest Group division ITC (Instant Tool-less Connector) has announced the launch of a new series of coaxial connectors designed specifically for AV installers in Europe and other regions with the same connector standards. ITC's patented system is said to provide a quick and cost-effective alternative to soldering or compression methods.
ITC says that while current solder and compression termination systems require multiple tools or dies to make a connection, its solutions do not require a termination. According to the company, the tool-less system lowers costs by reducing termination time, complexity and failure rate.
Other features include a captive centre pin that securely grips onto the centre conductor using a unique spring tension system for maximum contact and conductivity. The toothed outer ring holds the connector in place while spinning inside the product to provide torsional strain relief for increased reliability.
"Time and cost issues are major factors for installers wherever they are in the world," said William Low, CEO of The Quest Group. "ITC's tool-less system reduces termination time, while the connectors' high performance reduces failure rates. Both of these advantages add up to significant cost-savings for European installers."
The new series of ITC European coaxial connectors is available in F, BNC, and RCA connector configurations for 18-, 20- and 24-AWG coax cable. Additional models will be available at the end of Q3.
