Coupler Module | 250-ICP68-C1A2

VERTICAL CABLE 250-ICP68-C1A2 – COUPLER MODULE

The 250-ICP68-C1A2 is an optical fiber coupler module designed for reliable CAT6A cable splicing in harsh outdoor and industrial environments requiring IP68 waterproof protection. This optical fiber coupler module features IDC termination on both ports with shielded twisted pair (STP) construction for superior EMI protection and full CAT6A performance.

KEY FEATURES

Here’s what makes the 250-ICP68-C1A2 ideal for outdoor and industrial cable splicing:

• CAT6A Performance: Meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 CAT6A transmission specifications.
• Shielded Twisted Pair (STP): Full shielding provides superior EMI/RFI protection in electrically noisy environments.
• IP68 Waterproof Rating: Dust-tight and protected against continuous immersion for reliable outdoor and wet location installations.
• IDC-to-IDC Termination: Insulation displacement contacts on both ports enable tool-free conductor termination.
• Panel Mount Form Factor: Designed for secure installation in enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment panels.
• Bayonet Locking Mechanism: Quick-connect bayonet lock ensures secure mating and maintains IP68 seal integrity.
• T568A/T568B Compatible: Supports both standard wiring schemes for installation flexibility.
• Wide Conductor Compatibility: Accepts 22-24 AWG solid conductors for compatibility with standard CAT6A cables.
• Silicone Gasket Sealing: Included silicone gaskets ensure watertight seal when properly assembled.
• IEC Compliant Housing: Meets IEC 61076-3-106 variant 01 style 2 and IEC 60529 standards.

APPLICATIONS

The 250-ICP68-C1A2 optical fiber coupler module excels in demanding splice and extension scenarios:

• Outdoor Network Extensions: Splice CAT6A cables for outdoor security cameras, wireless access points, and remote equipment.
• Industrial Installations: Connect cables in factories, warehouses, and processing plants where moisture and dust are present.
• Direct Burial Splicing: Join direct burial cables at underground junction points with full environmental protection.
• Marine and Waterfront: Deploy in docks, marinas, and coastal installations where water exposure is unavoidable.
• Transportation Infrastructure: Install in tunnels, bridges, and roadside cabinets exposed to weather and washdown conditions.

WHY CHOOSE THE 250-ICP68-C1A2 COUPLER MODULE?

Professionals choose the 250-ICP68-C1A2 because it delivers reliable CAT6A splicing with industrial-grade environmental protection. Here are 5 reasons to specify it for your next outdoor or industrial installation:

1. Complete Environmental Sealing – IP68 rating ensures dust-tight and waterproof protection for reliable performance in the harshest conditions.
2. Full CAT6A Performance – Maintains ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801 CAT6A specifications through the splice connection.
3. Shielded Construction – STP design protects against electromagnetic interference in industrial and electrically noisy environments.
4. Secure Bayonet Lock – Quick-connect bayonet mechanism provides positive locking and maintains seal integrity under vibration.
5. Tool-Free Termination – IDC contacts enable fast, reliable conductor termination without specialized crimping tools.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Once you’ve specified the 250-ICP68-C1A2 for your project:

• Prepare Cables Properly – Strip approximately 1.2 inches (30 mm) of outer jacket and fold back drain wire for proper grounding contact.
• Follow Wiring Scheme – Ensure consistent T568A or T568B wiring on both ends of the splice.
• Verify Alignment Marks – Align triangle and white marks during assembly to ensure proper IP68 seal.
• Test After Installation – Verify CAT6A performance and continuity after completing the splice connection.
