Ferrule applicator system
10 July 2013
Interconnection
As part of its comprehensive cable management system, Legrand offers the Starfix range of ferrules, cable crimping tools and applicators.
The crimping tool saves time by performing four functions in one operation, as it cuts, strips (with a side thrust), twists and automatically crimps each ferrule onto the cable. It has a fully adjustable wheel which is set to the cross section of the cable.
For immediate recognition of the appropriate cross-section of ferrules, they are colour matched with applicators which have a transparent, removable protective cover. Ferrules are manufactured in strips for simultaneous separating and crimping. For easy handling and convenience on site, they are supplied in sachet or box packing. As the last remaining ferrules are held firmly in the box packing option, there is never any wastage. Accessories include cutting and crimping blades, as well as fixing components.
New to the range are Starfix applicators which are available in yellow (for ferrules with cross sections between 0,25 mm² and 0,34 mm²) in red (for ferrules with cross sections between 0,5 mm² and 2,5 mm²) and in orange (for ferrules with cross sections between 4 mm² and 6 mm²).
Starfix ferrules with insulating flanges provide an equipotential link for all the strands of a flexible conductor. These ferrules can accommodate cables in the single-in-strips format, or in single individual sachet packing, in cross sections from 0,25 mm² to 6 mm².
Single individual ferrules in box packing are colour coded in brown, white, black, red and blue. Double individual ferrules are available as 2 x 0,75 mm², 2 x 1 mm², 2 x 1,5 mm² and 2 x 2,5 mm². Empty colour coded refill applicators are designed for user convenience, reducing the need for reloading.
Legrand also supplies this cable management system in kit form. Kits consists of a crimping tool for crimping up to a 6 mm² ferrule and various individual ferrules between 10 mm² and 50 mm². A toolbox for on-site use, containing Starfix, Cab 3 and Duplix marking systems, is also available.
