Chatsworth 16301-001 Butt-splice KIT

Overview

The Chatsworth 16301-001 is a gold-plated butt splice connector designed for joining two 12 AWG wires. This kit provides a secure, low-resistance connection essential for reliable power delivery in surveillance and IT infrastructure deployments. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for tight spaces within enclosures or conduit runs where clean wire termination is critical. The gold plating offers superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term performance.

Compatibility

This butt splice kit is specifically designed for use with 12 AWG stranded or solid copper wire. It is suitable for terminating power cables for network cameras, access control devices, or other low-voltage equipment where a permanent, reliable splice is required. Ensure wire gauge and type match specifications for optimal connection integrity.

Installation Notes

Use a suitable crimping tool designed for 12 AWG connectors to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical bond. For best results, strip wire ends to the appropriate length (typically 1/2 inch) before insertion into the splice. The 5-inch length accommodates standard wire stripping practices and provides sufficient surface area for a robust crimp. Gold plating requires careful handling to avoid scratching, which could compromise corrosion resistance.
