Benefits of the PolePlug cable coupler system
- IP68 tested cable coupler or snatch plug cable system.
- Mitigates many of the risks associated with vehicle-roadside equipment collisions.
- Reduces the possibility of electrocution to accident victims, rescue personnel and pedestrians.
- Eliminates damaged splices in adjoining poles.
- Avoids delayed rescue efforts attributed to exposed wires.
- Allows other lighting columns on the circuit to continue illumination.
- Submersible therefore can be pulled through flooded ducting.
- System maintenance is quick and simple.
Fully submersible cable coupler
As well as being used with break-away passively safe roadside equipment, the PolePlug is often used to make equipment ‘plug-and’play’. The PolePlug’s IP68 performance (tested to 1 m depth) means it can be submerged in water; for example when pulling the cable connection through flooded ducting.
Performance
All Poletech PolePlug connectors have undergone rigorous testing and comply with the requirements of BSEN 60309-1, IEC 60309-1 and BSEN 60309-2 IEC 60309-2. PolePlugs are designed to have protection against foreign objects and water and conform to the requirements of IP68 to BSEN 60529. Breakaway PolePlugs or Snatch Plug Cables, are available in 2 (made to order), 3, 5, 16 pins and all plugs and sockets are 20 Amp rated.
