PPC's newest connector technology

The exhibition provided an opportunity for PPC to showcase a selection of new products in the Fiber Lounge and adjoining Workstation.

The Fiber Lounge featured demonstrations of PPC's QuikPush® customer drop - a device which enables installers to connects subscribers by pushing in cable via a pre-installed Microduct.

The demonstration provided a first-hand illustration of how slack is stored in the customer wall terminal and included advice on how to assemble SC/APC Balistix Connectors and LC/APC Balistix Connectors onto QuikPush Cable.

Other PPC products on display included:

Slip-Resistant Wrench Compatible Hardline Connector

A specialized slip-resistant wrench incorporates machined grooves to enable safer installation and is reverse compatible with the original PPC design, featuring the same "Best in Class" RF, mechanical, electrical, environmental performance.


The simple-to install and consumer-friendly SignalTight® jumper technology establishes a complete connection in 2-3 turns.

When used together, QuikTight and SignalTight help to maintain ground contact between the connector and the port, to prevent noise from entering the system.

REVConnect® Category Cable

A field mountable REVConnect plug eliminates the jack, box and patch cord assembly that is normally required to plug in devices - and addressing AV needs for WiFi connectivity, wireless access points, building security systems, digital signage, audio mixing consoles, HVAC and LED lighting.

Multi-Fiber MDU Solution Set
