Function

The IDC strips are located on the horizontal side of the main distribution frame. They allow the connection of the jumpers coming from the terminal block to the cable of the switching equipments.

The disconnection fonction allows to isolate the line during the checking procedure.

Furthermore the RC5F strip situated on the vertical side of the main distribution frames can be used as a terminal block.

Design

The IDC strips consists of a supporting base with grommet. A set of fixation clamps is provided for attachment to a flat bar (maximum width : 30mm). Disconnecting strips with a capacity of 5 or 8 pairs are mounted on the base. Two label holders situated on either side of the strip faciliate the identification of pairs. Connections are made by means of Insulation Displacement Contacts (IDC) in accordance with the NFC 93024 standard. Double-slot terminals make Y-type connections possible without disconnecting the line. Acceptable diameters for conductors are 0.4 mm to 0.8 mm. The RC5F strip can be equipped with individual protection modules. The ground connections of the protection devices are grouped on an earthing clamp per row of 5 pairs.
