RapidRun™ Connector Technology

–Seamless Connectivity, Maximum

Flexibility.

The secret to RapidRun’'D5s flexibility is its cutting-edge connector technology, which creates a lossless connection between Runner and Break-Away. A precision-machined connector shell is cut from solid brass and plated to a bright nickel finish. Also, to resist the effects of oxidation and ensure years of reliable operation, the connector terminals are gold-plated.

Runner cables are terminated with female connectors, eliminating the risk of fatal damage to a pin. To provide maximum installation ease, the female connectors include a protective cap with pullingeye. While able to withstand a maximum pulling tension of 30lbs., the split ring will fail long before damage can be done to the delicate termination points.

The overall connector shape also plays an important role in RapidRun’s ease of installation. The unique geometry of the female connector allows for it to glide through 3/4'' conduit, while the tapered rear of the connector provides enough relief to allow the connector to pass through a 90° sweep.*

For effortless connection to the Runner, Break-Away terminations are finished with a male connector. Just align the red arrows to guide the connectors together and tighten the knurled locking ring. Pin configurations and mechanical keys allow acceptable combinations to easily mate, while blocking incompatible Break-Away combinations that could adversely affect signal transmission.

Installers benefit from powerful performance advantages, including:

Uncompromised signal integrity: pin pitch and insulator material make our connector virtually transparent to the delicate video signal, resulting in minimal signal loss.

Dirt and damage protection: the pulling caps protect the delicate contacts within the connector from the dirt, dust and damage – common on job sites.

Flexible durability: while durable enough to withstand 30lbs. of pulling tension, the connector is small enough to pull through 3/4'' conduit and even a 90° factory-manufactured sweep*.

*Sweeps bent in the field may result in a smaller diameter or “flattened” sweep.
