Scotchlok™ connectors and tools support MSOs who want to offer VoIP services by providing easy, reliable solutions for terminating the copper writing at the customer premises. Scotchlok connectors are the most widely used connectors in the industry for reliably terminating copper connections. They feature the dependable U-element insulation displacement contact developed by 3M more than 30 years ago. In environments where electromagnetic interference between phone and CATV signals often causes real problems for customers, they prevent interference. And they are specially sealed at the factory to protect against corrosion and moisture. The ability to see through and to feel when the wires are in place make them the preferred choice of MSOs or their contractors. They are used each time copper wires need to be terminated or connected.

Scotchlok connectors and easy-to-use tools are a must-have for all VoIP service installations as well as for connecting MSO-provided dial tone to a home's alarm system.

Over 45 years ago, 3M introduced the industry’s original insulation displacement connector - the Scotchlok Connector UR. Today, with increased demand for high-speed and highbandwidth networks, the complete series of 3M connectors and tools has evolved again.
