BIX MOUNT 25 PAIRES
BIX 25 Pair Block (QCBIX1A)
The BIX Distribution Connector is a 25-pair
connector. The connector's symmetrical construction allows termination
of cables on one side and cross-connect jumper wires or BIX patch cords
on the other. Each BIX connector is equipped with 50 double-ended
Insulation Displacement Connection (IDC) clips for terminating plastic
insulated solid copper conductors without stripping. The connector is
built with two staggered rows of IDC clips enclosed in a three-layer
construction of fire-retardant plastic wafers. Pair splitters on each
side of the connector facilitate wire insertion.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Robust and installer-friendly design to reduce installation costs
- High-density connector to reduce installation space requirements
- Staggered IDC clips to ensure superior transmission performance
- Built-in pair splitters to facilitate wire insertion
- Fully enclosed clips in plastic housing to prevent injuries and protect connections
- Snap into BIX Mounts for easy insertion and removal
- Mix and match modular flexibility to accommodate different installation size requirements.
APPLICATIONS
- Horizontal distribution or equipment terminations in telecommunications rooms and main distribution rooms
- Interconnection terminations in consolidation points
