Solutions
for
Outside
Plant
3M Telecommunications offers an extensive range of housings and closures for outside
plant. They are available in a variety of sizes, made from either plastic or metal. For housings,
the preferred connection technologies are SID or QSA/LSA plus. For closures the proven
splice methods Scotchlok or MS
2
are more appropriate. These give the maximum number
of splices in the smallest possible space. With optical fibre cable, fibre management is more
important than density. 3M Telecommunications extensive ‘know-how’ has produced a
variety of closure sealing options. Both encapsulated and mechanically-closed closures are
available. For example, the BPEO family of closures are re-enterable several times and do
not require specialist tools or additional materials such as gaskets or mastic.

2.1
Copper Splicing
Description - 3M™ Scotchlok™ Connectors and Tools
Over 40 years ago, 3M™ introduced the
industry’s original U element connector,
the Scotchlok UR Connector. The latest
series of connectors, the Scotchlok UR2,
UY2, and UB2A Connectors, feature that
same originality in technology advantages,
building on the successful Scotchlok
Connector’s design, shape, color-coded cap
concepts, and element technology.
The Series 2 Connectors additionally
offer full wire range capability, increased
port size to accommodate up to 2.08 mm
(0.082») insulation sizes, double elements in
all products, and a solvent resistant plastic
construction.
UR2/UR2-D Butt Connectors
The UR2 Connector
accepts two or
three solid copper
conductors that can
be of different wire
gauges for butt splicing. The connector is filled with a
moisture resistant sealant and the UR2-D Connector
is a dry version.
RUS Listed
UY2/UY2-D Butt Connectors
The size of the UY2
Connector reduces
the splicing bundle
O.D. to a minimum.
The wires joined can
be of different wire gauges. Factory inserted sealant
seals out moisture. In addition, the UY2 Connector is
available in a dry version, UY2- D Connector.
RUS Listed
UB2A/UB2A-D Tap Connectors
The UB2A Connector
has a pre-crimp
feature that gives the
user a time-saving
edge. By positioning
the connector on the conductor and precrimping,
the conductor is prevented from slipping out of the
connector before the crimp is completed.
Like the UR2 Connector, a factory sealant insulates
against moisture and seals out corrosion. The UB2A
Connector permits tapping directly onto an existing
conductor without interrupting service. In ready
access closures, the UB2A Connector eliminates
cutting cable pairs, opening circuits, and piecing out
wires. The UB2A-D Connector is a dry version of the
UB2A Connector.
RUS Listed
211 Trim-Out Connector
The Scotchlok™ 211
Trim-Out Connector
is a polypropylene,
moisture-resistant,
self-stripping insulation
displacement contact device with a built-in cut-off
blade and a test port. Wires are positioned in the
connector from the sides, allowing the 211 Connector
to be used as a maintenance connector for replacing
problem connectors without interrupting service. The
211 Connector may also be used for standard two-
wire butt type splicing operations.
A pre-crimp feature permits easy, positive connector
positioning by gripping the conductors until the
crimp is completed. Excess wire is cut off when the
connector is crimped.
RUS Listed
557TG Connector
Use the Scotchlok
557TG aerial connector
to electrically connect
two dropwire solid
copper legs, insulate
and provide moisture protection for the connection.

Description - 3M™ Scotchlok™ Connectors and Tools
UP2 Butt Connector
A dry flame retardant
two-wire, UL Listed
connector for use on
paper, pulp or PIC
cable where moisture
resistance is not a requirement.
UP3 Butt Connector
The UP3 Butt
connector is a dry,
flame-retardant two or
three-wire connector
for paper, pulp or PIC
cable where moisture moisture resistance is not a
requirement.
UPB Tap Connector
A dry, flame-retardant,
two-wire UL Listed
connector with a
pre-crimp feature for
use on pulp, paper
or PIC cable where moisture resistance is not a
requirement.
U1B Inline Connectors
The U1B connector
is a sealed moisture-
resistant four-wire
(1 full pair) inline
connector for larger
gauge solid copper.
U1R Inline Connectors
The U1R connector
is a sealed moisture-
resistant four-wire
(1 full pair) inline
connector for
larger gauge solid copper.
UDW2 Inline connetor
A sealed moisture-
resistant, four-wire
(1 full pair) inline aerial
connector for copper
or copper-coated steel
conductors. Not for mid-span splices unless strain-
relief is provided. Tape over-wrap is not required.
E-9Y Crimping Tool
Stepped jaws and long
nose provide parallel
crimping action.
Features include a side
wire cutter, insulated
handles, and a return spring. Not recommended
for any 19 gauge, 3 wire application due to fatigue
factor.
E-9J Crimping Tool
The E-9J tool is a
lightweight, handheld
tool featuring a
singlestroke, parallel
crimping action with
a work-saving 10-to-1 mechanical advantage over
applied hand force. For use with Scotchlok butt and
tap connectors.
E-9BM Crimping Tool
The E-9BM has
parallel closing action
with adjustable jaws,
and features high
mechanical advantage.
For use with all Scotchlok Connectors.
E-9C Cartridge Tool with Case & Gauge
The E-9C tool holds
the connectors (in
cartridges) firmly in
place, allowing the
user the use of the
other hand for guiding wires. This time-saving tool
holds cartridges of UR2, UR2-D, UR, UY2, UY2-D,
UY, UAL, ULG, UCC, UPC, UP2 and UP3 Connectors.
Its automatic feed, ratchet, and parallel jaw action
assure perfect crimps every time.
