PPC hardline connectors are renowned for their quality, performance, reliability, and ease of installation. They are designed to handle the challenges of today's digital cable networks including: high speed data, telephony, and performance beyond 1 GHz. PPC's hardline connectors are designed for all major CATV cable manufacturers: CommScope, Times Fiber, and Trilogy.
Our connectors also boast an unusual feature which is a key advantage for our customers: reusability. During routine, as well as most emergency maintenance, our connectors can be used without damage.
The PPC hardline product family includes two-piece and three-piece connectors with pin, feed-thru, and splice connectors for a variety of cable sizes and types, as well as extenders, line terminators, 90° adapters, 180° adapters, F-adapters, splice blocks and housing-to-housing adapters. Our line of universal "F" fittings and associated hardware for subscriber drops complements the PPC Hardline Connector Line.
