Product Description
What it is: the 2 Core Jelly Crimp IDC Connector (JELLY-CRIMP-2-CORE) joins two low-voltage cable runs without stripping wires first.
It works on the IDC principle — insulation displacement contact — meaning the connector's internal blades cut through cable insulation as you crimp, making contact with the copper inside. No stripping, no soldering, just a crimp tool.
Why the gel matters
The body is pre-filled with a protective gel. Once crimped, that gel surrounds the joint and keeps out moisture and corrosion — the main reason splices fail over time, especially outdoors or in damp cavities.
Where it's used
- Splicing CCTV signal/control cable runs
- Joining alarm system wiring
- Extending or repairing telephone cable
- Indoor use: junction boxes, wall cavities, trunking
- Outdoor use: any exposed or damp low-voltage joint
Before you buy
- Confirm your cable has 2 conductors matching this connector's core count — it's not a multi-core splice.
- It suits typical low-voltage copper conductors used in CCTV and alarm wiring; check your cable gauge fits the connector's IDC contacts.
- You'll need a crimp tool to close it properly — the connector alone won't seal without one.
A straightforward fix for a damaged run or a mid-cable join, rather than a full re-pull of cable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to strip the cable before using this connector?
No. It uses insulation displacement contact (IDC), so the connector's internal contacts cut through the insulation when crimped — you just insert the cable and crimp.
Is this connector safe to use outdoors?
Yes. It's pre-filled with a protective gel that resists moisture and corrosion, which is what makes it suitable for outdoor or damp installations as well as indoor ones.
Will this work with alarm and telephone cable, or just CCTV?
It's designed for low-voltage signal cable generally, so it suits CCTV control cable, alarm wiring and telephone cable splicing alike.
Do I need a special tool to fit it?
You'll need a crimp tool to close the connector and displace the insulation properly — that's how the IDC connection and gel seal are formed.
