2 American Design American Made Our success comes from a philosophy of designing products on a cross-functional level with input from the sales, engineering and production departments.

3 What Makes Us Different? Connector Products, Inc. (CPI) designs and manufactures electrical connectors and accessories for power utilities and mass transit railroad systems. As a third generation family business founded in 1973 by Mario Polidori, CPI is continually growing and expanding our product line. We listen to the needs of our costumers and then design sensible solutions. Essentially, we offer customers access to our manufacturing expertise to make their visions or designs come to life. What connecting really means to CPI. Since 1980 Connector Products, Inc. has provided electrical connectors for major power utility transmission and distribution systems across the United States and throughout the world. Our business is built on the core pillars of Quality, Delivery and Price. We strive to provide our customers with unique and innovative products at a competitive price, delivered in a reasonable amount of time, while maintaining the highest possible quality. After serving in the United States of America Army during World War II, Mr. Polidori subsequently earned an Engineering degree from Drexel University while simultaneously working at American Engineering. Mr. Polidori has invented and patented several types of connectors, which are still in use to this day. Our Company founder developed the wedge style connector over forty years ago and has continued to contribute to its progress over time. Today, Connector Products, Inc. offers the only true wedge style bolted connector on the market. The CPI tap connector s ability to be installed or removed without specialized tooling combined with the capability of accommodating a wide range of wire sizes is what makes this product the first choice for some of the largest utility companies across the country.

6 Better Products by Design #4 Thru 4/0 Series Copper Tap #4 thru 4/0 Series Copper Tap CPI Copper Taps are designed for use as a permanent connection on copper wire or solid rod. Any good electrical connection must be mechanically strong, electrically conductive and easy to install. The CPI wedge connector accomplishes this with the use of high strength bronze alloy, pure copper and a unique shear head bolt. Torque applied to Shear Bolt drives the wedge into the connector and causes a deflection in the C body. This deflection creates a spring pressure mechanical connecting force on the conductors for optimum electrical conductivity. When the proper spring tension is achieved, the Shear Head Bolt will break off giving the installer a positive indication of a correctly completed connection. This eliminates the need for any specialized tools or torque wrenches. Features q Utilizes the industry-proven spring wedge principal and is easy to install with a common socket or impact wrench. q No Special Tools Required. q Can be installed overhead or buried directly underground. q Meets or exceeds the current carrying capacity of the conductors being connected. q The Spring Like qualities of the high strength C-Body ensure a permanent connection with consistent pressure on the conductors. q Installation time is quicker than conventional crimp-type or molded joints. q Constructed of corrosion resistant yet highly conductive copper and bronze alloys with a pure copper insert between the conductors to further increase conductivity and lower electrical resistance. q Exclusive high-conductivity grit type corrosion inhibitor is factory applied for ease of installation and longevity while the connector is in service. q Remains permanently locked through fault current or power surges. q Easy to remove without damaging cable. q Optional Hot Stick version can be easily adapted to standard hot stick tools. 4 3 Catalog IX.1 connectorproducts.com

The Test loop was installed with four connector samples as per ANSI C119.4 standards. The connectors were subjected to an overload current for 10 cycles at 250ºC / (4 hour cycles). Followed by a standard current for 500 cycles at 100ºC/ (1.5 hour cycles).

TP conductor is composed of two identical bare conductors twisted together with a left-hand lay. This gives the cable a rectangular spiral shape. The spiral shape disrupts the forces created by steady cross winds which cause cable vibration, by presenting a continuously changing projected cable diameter to the wind. This spiral shape, together with less torsional stiffness and varying bending stiffness also reduces or eliminates cable galloping due to combined ice and wind loads Catalog IX.1 IX 47A

50 Better Products by Design T2 Series Stirrup Connector T2 Series Stirrup Connector CPI T2 Series Stirrup Connectors are designed for use as a permanent or temporary connection on T2 Aluminum wire. Torque applied to the Shear Bolt drives the wedge into the connector and creates a deflection in the C body. This deflection creates a spring pressure mechanical connecting force on the conductors for optimal electrical conductivity. When proper spring tension is achieved, the ShearHead Bolt will break off, giving the installer a positive indication of a correctly completed connection. This eliminates the need for any specialized tools, torque wrenches or compression dies. Features q Connection is made with both pieces of conductor without having to separate them. q No special tools required for installation. q Easy to install by glove or standard Hot Stick tooling. q Quicker than standard crimp type connections. q Easy to remove without damaging cable. q Tin-Plated Bail helps prevent galvanic reaction. q Exclusive high-conductivity grit type corrosion inhibitor is factory applied for ease of installation and longevity while the connector is in service. q An increased conductive path and surface contact area increases current ampacity rating. q Constructed of A356 T6 and 6101-T6 aluminum alloy in combination to provide high strength and conductivity. q Remains permanently locked through fault current or power surges. q Tooling maintenance cost is reduced by eliminating specialized tools. 48 A 3 Catalog IX.1 connectorproducts.com

84 Better Products by Design OPGW Bonding & Grounding Connector OPGW Bonding & Grounding Connector CPI OPGW Bonding & Grounding Connectors are designed for use as a permanent or temporary connection on all types of Optical Ground Wire (OPGW) in tower grounding applications. Torque applied to the Shear Bolt drives the wedge into the connector and creates a deflection in the C body. This deflection creates a spring pressure mechanical connecting force on the conductors for optimal electrical conductivity. When proper spring tension is achieved, the ShearHead Bolt will break off, giving the installer a positive indication of a correctly completed connection. This eliminates the need for any specialized tools, torque wrenches or compression dies. Features q Will not cause fiber signal attenuation in the OPGW, insuring optimal performance of the conductor. q No special tools required for installation. q Easy to install by glove or standard Hot Stick tooling. q Quicker that standard crimp type connections that cannot be used on OPGW. q Easy to remove without damaging cable. q Exclusive high-conductivity grit type corrosion inhibitor is factory applied for ease of installation and longevity while the connector is in service. q An increased conductive path and surface contact area increases current ampacity rating. q Constructed of A356 T6 and 6101-T6 aluminum alloy in combination to provide high strength and conductivity. q Remains permanently locked through fault current or power surges. q Tooling maintenance cost is reduced by eliminating specialized tools. 82 A 3 Catalog IX.1 connectorproducts.com
