Chatsworth 40163-004 C-type Compression TAP
Overview
The Chatsworth 40163-004 is a C-type compression tap designed for secure electrical connections. It is specifically engineered to accommodate #2 stranded conductors for both the run and tap configurations, as well as #2 solid conductors for the run. This ensures a reliable ground connection for surveillance equipment, preventing signal interference and ensuring system integrity. Its robust construction is suited for installations where consistent performance under load is critical.
Compatibility
This compression tap is designed for use with #2 AWG stranded copper conductors for the tap and #2 AWG stranded or solid copper conductors for the run. It is suitable for grounding applications within structured cabling systems and electrical installations supporting IP cameras, network switches, and NVRs. Ensure your wire gauge and type match the specifications for optimal performance and safety.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a compatible compression tool to properly crimp the tap onto the conductor. Torque specifications, if provided by the wire manufacturer, should be adhered to for a secure, long-lasting connection. Ensure the conductor is clean and free of debris before making the connection. This tap is intended for use in dry, protected environments unless otherwise specified by the installation guidelines for the connected equipment.
