All-In-One (Click) Connectors
One click, one clip, every splice: Trace-Safe® Universal Connectors provide safe, fast, easy splicing of TRACE-SAFE® tracer wire. No tools or stripping required! Its adaptive housing is suitable for end-to-end and end-to-lateral splices. The Universal Connectors come with or without an encased locator stub for instant tracing anywhere in the field.

Trace-Safe’s comprehensive detection system starts with high-performing, water-blocking tracer wires. These wires are easily merged and powered with one-clip, universal locator connectors. Pull tracer wires with copper-infused MULETAPE—the leading name in cable pulling—for added detection. Testing stations and multi-channel isolation switches make signaling a breeze.
