Questions & Answers
Can they be use on cat 6
This connector can be used Cat 6, as long as the conductor is 19-26 AWG with a Max Insulation Diameter of .066'.
can it be used to connect garage door sensor wires
These are designed for low-voltage installations and rated for 19-26 AWG wires.
Can these be used on cat5e Ethernet cable
Dave, Yes, the Insulation Displacement Connectors can be used on Cat5e Ethernet cable. Thank you,
Can these be used for strand wire?
Larry, Thank you for your interest in IDEAL products, the Insulation Displacement Wire Connectors can be used on solid and stranded wire 19-26 AWG with a maximum insulation diameter of 0.066.
Can these be on vacuum cleaner internal wire, 22AWG?
I’m no expert but honestly I don’t see why not. It protects the wires connections once inserted and locked. I used them for my garage door sensor install and had no issues.
Mike yes you could use them for that application Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
I have AT&T internet service, inside the telephone box that the ethernet exit port that runs to the router/modem, has these connectors inside of it, could this be a reason for dropped service or is it compatible with the DSL connection that I receive?
I have noticed that when these get real old they can get flaky but other than that there should be no issues using these with DSL. By the way that is not an Ethernet jack but just a phone jack. DSL is turned to Ethernet in the modem. If the connectors are good, then it's probably the phone line and you need to have the provider test it.
My DSL has been up and running fine with these for the last 5 years. They are a perfect solution for splicing phone wires as they are self sealing. You don't even remove the insulation from the wires. Just push them in and squeeze the colored cap with a pair of pliers.
DrJay these are olde telephone splicing connectors and usually not used for high speed data applications. I would check with your provider to see what they prefer. Hope that helps Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
Will these work for doorbell wire?
Hi JW the connectors are rated for 19-26 AWG and usually doorbell wiring with fit in that range. While not rated for 18 AWG I have used it successfully. Hope that helps Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
Is there a butt connector available that can be used to "convert" from aluminum to copper wiring?
Pot if you are talking about aluminum branch wiring in a home the answer is no. Hope that helps Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
