Quick and easy installation is achieved thanks to the "push through" design of the connector body, as well as the use of a single tool to terminate the connector, position the sleeve when in use, and trim excess wires.
Ross McLetchie, Sales Director at Mayflex, comments: “While not the most significant launch in recent months, the introduction of the FAST range is a useful addition to Excel’s offering. We are very aware of the time pressures our customers face, and that time is clearly money when it comes to installation processes. This introduction follows multiple examples of products within our range that save time without compromising quality or performance.”
The product is now available in plastic-free packaging of 100 connectors only, or 100 connectors with housing, and tools are available for separate purchase. The FAST range will replace the current 'standard' unshielded RJ45 connectors offered by Excel.
McLetchie continues, “The quick and easy design elements are based on the pass-through connector, which allows the cable cores to be pushed through the connector before crimping and cutting, compared to the conventional design where the cable cores must be cut to the exact length before entering the connector. It’s great to see this new product included in our plastic-free packaging series from the start, and I’m sure it will become a recurring and stock item for anyone who needs to terminate cables in the field.”
