The TX-IPC-01 (JBC-1) LV Insulation Piercing Connector (JBC-1) is a heavy-duty, high-capacity connector specifically designed for 35–150 mm² ABC cables for both main and branch lines. Constructed from UV-resistant, waterproof thermoplastic fiberglass-reinforced nylon, it delivers long-lasting, reliable electrical connections for both aluminium and copper conductors, even under harsh environmental conditions such as rain, UV exposure, humidity, and extreme temperatures.
Designed for quick and safe installation, the connector requires no stripping of cable insulation, which minimizes installation time and reduces the risk of conductor damage. Its single shear-head bolt design ensures that the correct torque is applied, creating a secure and maintenance-free connection.

FAQs – Telexc Insulation Piercing Connectors
1. How do I choose the right insulation piercing connector? Select a connector suitable for your cable size and application. Telexc IPCs feature easy installation—no need to strip or cut the main cable insulation. They can be installed at any point along the line using a standard wrench, even on live conductors, ensuring a simple and reliable setup.
2. Are Telexc Insulation Piercing Connectors safe to use? Yes. Telexc connectors are resistant to mechanical stress, vibration, moisture, corrosion, and aging. They have been proven in long-term field use for over 30 years with minimal maintenance requirements.
3. What are the economic advantages of using Telexc IPCs? Their compact design minimizes installation space and eliminates the need for terminal or junction boxes, reducing both material and labor costs.
4. What types of cables are compatible with Telexc IPCs? They are designed for low-voltage aerial bundled conductors (LV-ABC) and service cables, making them ideal for connections between utility lines and customer premises.
5. What tools are needed for installation? Only a standard wrench with the correct hex socket size is required—no special tools are necessary.
6. How can I ensure the correct tightening torque during installation? Each Telexc connector features a shear-head bolt that breaks off automatically when the optimal torque is reached, guaranteeing proper contact pressure and electrical reliability.
7. Do I need to strip the cable insulation before installation? No. The built-in piercing blades automatically penetrate the cable insulation to create a secure electrical connection.
8. Is there any risk of electric shock from exposed metal parts? No. Telexc IPCs are fully insulated, and all conductive parts are safely enclosed to prevent accidental contact during and after installation.
